'The brazen, blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration'
Donald Trump has insisted six people have been arrested and many more have been given citations for vandalizing the renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. This allegedly includes carving a 350-foot gash in the pool’s sealant, and in a dark and angry tirade, Trump just described these people as akin to enemies of the state. But The New York Times just obtained a new statement from federal prosecutors. While they confirmed some citations, the Times also reports that administration officials and prosecutors are refusing to provide a single detail about what happened, refusing to divulge anything about who’s been targeted or what their offenses were, and refusing to confirm any arrests of any kind. As former prosecutor Ankush Khardori tells us in today’s episode, this is deeply strange. We discuss why it’s unusual for officials to clam up about such a high-profile claim, how this raises unnerving possibilities about the unhinged despot in the Oval Office, and why it all points to a deeper rot of Trumpian corruption. Listen to this episode here.

MS NOW host and former GOP lawmaker Joe Scarborough sharply rebuked House Speaker Mike Johnson on Sunday, accusing him of hypocrisy after the speaker claimed Democrats were trying to "steal" elections.The exchange stemmed from Johnson's appearance on Fox Business's "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo," where, according to a clip shared by the anti-Trump outlet The Bulwark, the speaker framed an election fight in stark partisan terms."We can't allow big blue states and crooked Democrat governors to try to steal elections away from us," Johnson said.Scarborough was unsparing in his response, calling on the speaker to drop the rhetoric and pointing to the circumstances of Johnson's own path to power."Stop lying, Mike. You're embarrassing yourself," Scarborough wrote.The host then zeroed in on what he characterized as Johnson's selective outrage, noting that the speaker had no objection to California Republicans when their votes helped install him in his leadership post."You were fine becoming Speaker with the help of California congressmen elected the same way," Scarborough wrote, before posing a pointed challenge: "Will you surrender the Speaker's gavel and not allow California Republicans to be seated in January?"He closed with a dismissive flourish: "I didn't think so."The clash comes amid escalating tensions over election administration and redistricting, with both parties accusing the other of attempting to tilt the electoral map ahead of the November midterms. Johnson's comments, delivered in a segment nominally focused on the defense budget, reflected the increasingly combative posture Republican leaders have taken toward Democratic-run states.For Scarborough, a former Republican congressman turned vocal critic of the party's current direction, the speaker's framing presented an opening to highlight what he portrayed as a glaring inconsistency in the official position.
