S1.5: The Elephant in the Oval Office

About this episode

This episode discusses the scandals surrounding Donald Trump's second term, including pardons and financial entanglements.

In season one, we purposely avoided doing an episode about Donald Trump; but the first year of Trump’s second term is too scandalous to ignore. In this episode, we break down the new, the old, and the truly unprecedented of Trump’s second-term scandals. We cover Trump’s pardons for government insurrectionists and his questionable allies; his unprecedented financial entanglements with the office he holds; and, of course, the Epstein of it all.
