Think You're Legal? Not in Trump’s America…+ A Conversation with Nick Akerman

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Nick Akerman, former federal prosecutor, Assistant Special Watergate Prosecutor, and Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. We dig into last week’s National Guard shooting and Trump’s potential overreaction, then break down the legality of Trump’s so-called “drug boat” attacks in Venezuela. Nick and I also examine how Trump is using these crises to divert attention from the Epstein files, and we unpack the latest in the Russia/Ukraine peace talks, including the controversy surrounding leaked recordings of Steve Witkoff offering advice to the Russians.
