Sarah Longwell, JVL, and Martha Raddatz: Trump Is Looting Us in Broad Daylight
Donald Trump—as a private citizen—sued our government, which he runs, and then “settled” the lawsuit with $1.8 billion that he stole from the U.S.
Donald Trump—as a private citizen—sued our government, which he runs, and then “settled” the lawsuit with $1.8 billion that he stole from the U.S. Treasury. See, he needs a secret fund of taxpayer money so he can pay not only reparations to his band of Jan 6 rioters, but also to incentivize future (election) criming on his behalf. In a special emergency The Next Level (TNL), Tim, Sarah, and JVL break it all down. Plus, Martha explains how Iran’s demands for money may be why Trump won’t officially end the war. And she discusses Zelensky's resiliency, along with her new book about the 9/11 generation that fought our wars.
Martha Raddatz, Jonathan V. Last, and Sarah Longwell join Tim Miller.
