Michael Feinberg, former FBI official, talks with Jen Psaki about Smith's clear explanation of Donald Trump's criminal culpability.
It should come as no surprise to anyone that criminal president Donald Trump is in regular conflict with the law, which means the best place to stop him is in the courts. California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who sued the Trump administration 52 times last year, talks with Jen Psaki about why the rule of law is Donald Trump's most successful opponent.
