Maddow: Supreme Court greenlights expansion of Trump's corruption machine
6/30/202644 min
Rachel Maddow describes how the Supreme Court conservatives radically expanded presidential power with a single ruling, even in the face of Donald Trump's unbridled corruption and abuse of the power he already had.
Senator Jon Ossoff joins to discuss how Donald Trump's self-dealing has become its own political issue on the campaign trail.
If the Supreme Court needed an illustration of why not to expand Donald Trump's presidential power to fire agency employees and fill them with loyalists, the billionaires in Trump's orbit should have made it clear. Former FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya talks with Rachel Maddow about who gets hurt by a government full of Trump loyalists.
