Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Jill Wine-Banks, former Watergate prosecutor, legal analyst, author of The Watergate Girl, former U.S. General Counsel of the Army, and host of multiple podcasts. With her deep expertise in law and presidential power, we break down Trump’s alarming early actions in his new term. Following this week’s news of Trump claiming the U.S. should 'own' Gaza and offering CIA employees buyouts, there’s no shortage of critical developments to discuss. Jill and I analyze his authoritarian overreach, from purging DOJ prosecutors to pushing extreme cabinet picks like Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr. She also explains the constitutional violations in Trump’s flurry of executive orders, the dangers of his proposed government restructuring, and the reckless foreign policy moves already taking shape.
