Trump Corruption Stories Stack Up as Blanche Gets Back on Track to Confirmation
About this episode
Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov start by debriefing Scott’s appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher, and recapping Maher’s rant against the far-left of the Democratic Party.
Then, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is reportedly back on track toward confirmation, after issuing a notice claiming to rescind the $1.8 billion IRS settlement fund — the so-called “anti-weaponization fund” — and narrowing the scope of IRS audit immunity granted to Trump and his family — satisfying the demands of Senators Cornyn and Tillis.
Trump Media & Technology Group — who owns Trump’s social media network Truth Social —has launched a subscription data service giving traders and investors early access to posts from the biggest accounts — including the president's — for up to $100,000 a month. And Capital One Bank has revealed it closed multiple bank accounts belonging to Trump's real estate company in 2021 following a review by its anti-money-laundering team. When does the corruption end, and what's actually being done?
U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro has dropped felony vandalism charges against a former Olympic canoeist after documents revealed the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool damage was actually caused by a contractor's flawed installation.
The Commerce Department announced last week its intent to take minority stakes in seven private companies in exchange for federal grant funding under the CHIPS and Science Act, creating over $870 million in incentives for the semiconductor companies involved.
RFK Jr. appeared on CNN over the weekend in a heated exchange with Dana Bash over vaccine safety and the early days of COVID. He went on to say he was not responsible for the current measles outbreak, and that he recommends parents vaccinate their children for measles. Scott and Jessica break down whether RFK is using the Fauci diaries to discredit scientists and experts more broadly.
And finally: Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) has at last broken his silence, and has publicly called out his former son-in-law, Rep. Max Miller (R-OH), saying that Miller "should not serve in the House" following domestic abuse allegations from Miller’s ex-wife: Moreno's daughter, Emily. Miller responded in a social media livestream denying the allegations and vowing to win re-election. Will there be more Republicans speaking out?
