Jen Psaki examines the hypocrisy of Elon Musk and Donald Trump's claim to be fighting corruption when they're actually perpetuating it, explaining why nothing encapsulates the administration's embrace of corruption better than the quid pro quo with New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Rep. Dan Goldman joins Jen to discuss the Justice Department's move to drop criminal charges against Mayor Adams, explaining why this can only be seen as a "politicization of the DOJ." Next, Jen explains why seven federal prosecutors resigned this week rather than file the motion to dismiss the Adams case, which was eventually signed under the threat of firing. She is joined by legal expert Andrew Weissmann to discuss how Trump's DOJ is undermining the rule of law. Then, Jen explains why the Trump administration's pandering to Vladimir Putin is a feature of his foreign policy, not a bug. She is joined by author Bill Browder to discuss the shift in relations between the U.S. and Russia, and what it means for the continued war in Ukraine. Later, Jen is joined by Rep. Greg Casar to discuss how Musk and Trump's ransacking of the federal government is negatively impacting communities across the country, including farmers and veterans. Finally, Jen shares a preview of her conversation with her former boss Rahm Emanuel from a new episode of her podcast "The Blueprint", which is out Monday.
