Donald’s Defiance Destroys Democracy + A Conversation with Nick Akerman
Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Nick Akerman, former federal prosecutor, Assistant Special Watergate Prosecutor, and Assistant United States Attorney in the SDNY. Nick is a sharp critic of Trump’s abuses of power, and together we unravel his shady international money deals, his dodgy crypto scheme, and the billion-dollar real estate hustle with foreign investors. We also unpack how Trump’s executive orders and the new “Big Beautiful Bill” threaten to permanently shred checks and balances, turning the executive branch into a personal tool of authoritarian power.
