Dems Push For Investigation Into Trump Epstein Ties, DOJ Charges Comey, David Cay Johnston 10/27/26

In a major ruling, a federal appeals court is rejecting the Justice Department's emergency bid to force California to set aside votes from 20,000 people it claims could be noncitizens. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the court didn't have authority to step in before the district court weighed in and the judges made clear they're skeptical of the DOJ's case on the merits too. One Trump-appointed judge even said he'd rule against the government if given the chance. The case heads back to district court for a Tuesday hearing. We will discuss what this means for federal power over elections and state voting rights. Guests today include the brilliant Pulitzer prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston.

JD Vance Gets Heckled on Epstein, Brit Hume Says Trump is a Moron, David Cay Johnston Joins 10/20/26

While Donald Trump is calling Benjamin Netanyahu a “Great Warrior Prime Minister” and endorsing his reelection, JD Vance is taking a step back. During an interview with Mark Halperin aboard Air Force Two, Vance said he is focusing strictly on American candidates for the midterms and is "not getting involved in Israeli elections." Vance's refusal to weigh in on the Israeli election is drawing attention because of his previous actions. Earlier this year, he traveled to Budapest, Hungary, specifically to support Victor Orbán, another leader endorsed by Trump, prior to Orbán's election loss. This public disagreement comes just days before the Israeli election and just after U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth made an unannounced trip to Israel, where he met with Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz. We will ask Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston for his thoughts. You can find more of David Cay Johnston online at dcreport.org and on substack: https://substack.com/@davidcayjohnston Professor Allan Lichtman will stop through. He is an acclaimed historian, civil rights advocate, and author. He is also an expert in U.S. elections and election forecasting. We will find out why Dr. Lichtman thinks Democrats will take the Senate in the upcoming midterms.
