'Smells like corruption': Maddow points out bizarre pattern of overpayments for warehouses by DHS
About this episode
Rachel Maddow points out several instances of Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security paying tens of millions of dollars more than the assessed value of warehouses the administration wants to turn into massive prison camps for immigrants.
While Donald Trump's scattershot strategy against Iran appears to produce a lot of positive outcomes for Russia, the American public is not so fortunate. But Trump's worthless word and the biuld-up of U.S. troops in the Middle East make a negotiated end to the situation in Iran seem increasingly unlikely. Rachel Maddow discusses with former deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes.
Indivisible's Ezra Levin, fresh off a massive weekend of No Kings protests, talks with Rachel about the next protest event in the works, a general strike on May 1.
Rachel Maddow highlights the Trump administration's shift from using the Justice Department to meddle in states' elections to assigning that task to the Department of Homeland Security, which is distinguished by scandals, incompetence and a disregard for the law.
