From FDR to Trump, every modern president has had brushes with organised crime. So how have secret pacts, betrayals, and under-the-table deals influenced the commander-in-chief? Today on The Bunker, Seth Thévoz is joined by Eric Dezenhall, author of Wiseguys and the White House, to explore the not-so-hidden ties between the leader of the free world and the mob.
