About This Episode
Trump taps his acting attorney general and former personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, to use his $1.8 billion IRS settlement as a slush fund for January 6ers, the president reportedly boosted his stock purchases by heaping praise on companies he invested in, the White House ballroom gets "complex" architecture and favor-hungry corporate donors, and Ronny Chieng uses his law degree to break down what this cascade of corruption means for Trump.
