George Conway joins Sarah Longwell to explain the latest legal messes in Trump World — from Judge Ho’s cringe-worthy SCOTUS audition, to Kristi Noem’s complete ignorance of basic constitutional rights, to the potential bribery scandal involving Paramount and a bogus Trump lawsuit.

It’s all corruption, ambition, and chaos — and George has thoughts.
