About this episode
More than a year after US President Trump curated what he believed was the perfect Cabinet, he's done away with two major figures within his administration, the latest being Attorney General, Pam Bondi. She was recently ousted and moved to what Trump calls an 'important' role in the private sector.
Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Peter Shane, an expert of US constitutional law and professor at New York University to discuss reasons behind Trump's staffing changes, his need for loyalty over merit, and how Bondi's politicization of the Department of Justice costed her her position.
