The Briefing with Jen Psaki

Hostile Takeover: Democrats Fight Uphill Battle Against Trump's Ransacking of Federal Government


Listen Later

Jen Psaki breaks down Trump's hostile takeover of the U.S. government and the efforts by Democrats to push back. Jen is joined by Jake Struebing, a former assistant U.S. attorney, who spoke out for the first time after being fired this week in Trump's purge of federal officials. Next, Jen is joined by Former U.S. Attorney for SDNY Preet Bharara to discuss the 'frightening' implications of Trump's 'unlawful' firing of career DOJ and FBI officials. Then, Jen is joined by Senator Chris Van Hollen to discuss Trump and Elon Musk's 'illegal' closure of the U.S. Agency for International Development, as well as Democrats' plans to fight back through the courts. Later, Jen outlines new reporting on Elon Musk and his team's efforts to hijack the Office of Personnel Management. She is joined by Judd Legum, the reporter who broke the story, to discuss why Musk wants access to this information and what they will do with it, including further hollowing out the federal government. Finally, Jen explains why the Pentagon removing major news organizations from their office spaces in favor of much friendlier outlets is not only a punishment of the media, but of the American people.
