Summary

This week, the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg demanding his testimony before Congress following his probe into former President Donald Trump’s hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The DA responded, questioning the legislative purpose of the committee’s request. Republican Congresswoman Laurel Lee (FL-15) discusses the motivation behind the House Judiciary Committee’s inquiry, explaining what the committee describes as an “unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority.” Russian President Vladimir Putin welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping into Moscow this week for a conversation about their vision for the world, a vision that will directly affect the West. Talks between the two global superpowers are raising concerns about China and Russia’s strengthening alliance, especially amid Chinese aid in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. China Expert and author of The Coming Collapse of China Gordon Chang joins the podcast to discuss Chinese-Russian relations, detail the two nations’ joint efforts to overtake the United States, and outline the next steps for an American response.

0:00.0	Sunday, March 26th, 2023, I'm Jessica Rosenthal. What seemed possible this past week did

1:30.0	indictment didn't materialize. Trump himself said the DA's office was in disarray in his opinion,
