    If you’re looking for a high-profile job in the Trump Administration, loyalty to MAGA is the only requirement.

    In this episode, Senator Whitehouse welcomes Lisa Graves of True North Research back to the podcast to discuss how President Trump’s DOJ has gone after his political enemies, and the legal setbacks the Department has faced at the hands of unqualified loyalists who have been wrongly appointed as U.S. Attorneys. Whitehouse and Graves also set the scene on the dark money corruption swirling around the Supreme Court in advance of a key campaign finance case.
