Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they tackle what Jim calls “the naughty list.” Today’s episode covers a federal judge’s critique of Biden’s Hunter pardon, controversies surrounding Trump’s Pentagon pick, and Andrew Cuomo’s rumored political comeback in New York City.
They begin by spotlighting Federal Judge Mark Scarsi’s scathing assessment of President Biden’s justification for pardoning Hunter Biden. Scarsi accuses Biden of misrepresenting key facts, undermining his own appointees by alleging political persecution, and potentially issuing an unconstitutional pardon.
Next, they dive into new allegations against Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense, involving claims of misconduct during his time at Fox News and his leadership at Concerned Veterans for America. Hegseth's defenders point out that all of the new allegations are based on anonymous sources and his former colleagues are eagerly going on the record to defend him. The Wall Street Journal also reports that the Trump team may be preparing to move on to a new nominee and is even floating some possible alternatives.
Lastly, Jim previews his Washington Post column aimed at derailing Andrew Cuomo’s rumored run for New York City mayor. They detail Cuomo’s extensive history of scandals, arguing why he should never return to public office.
