Summary

Rep. Dan Goldman is a Democratic congressman from New York and a former federal prosecutor. He joins Preet to discuss Trump’s $1.776 billion “weaponization” fund, the future of Democratic oversight in Congress, his primary race, and the politics of Israel and Gaza. Then, Preet answers listener questions about the sentence commutation of Tina Peters, the former Colorado county clerk convicted of breaching election equipment, and about the original meaning of Memorial Day. In the bonus for Insiders, Preet and Goldman take on the impossible challenge of choosing DOJ’s worst offense yet.
