INTERVIEW: Trump’s new pardon exposes more corruption
"Trump pardoned the CEO of a company that was fined $3.4 billion by the Treasury Department. Uh the Treasury Department said that Binance willfully failed to report financial transactions with al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Hamas. Oh, the uh the hattrick seems seems bad. Uh so why, you ask, would Trump pardon this guy? Why would he want to be seen as in bed with Binance? Well, because essentially they bribed him. Binance helped facilitate this $2 billion investment into Trump's crypto company that will earn the Trump family about $80 million a year."

THE JIM ACOSTA SHOW
Trump is "smacking the founders in the face" by demolishing the East Wing to build a $300 million gilded ballroom funded by tech billionaires and corporations, says one of our guests tonight. Former White House Chief Historian Ed Lengel is speaking out.
Plus Political strategist Reed Galen warns that what they're doing to the White House, they want to do to all of us—and Steve Bannon is openly working on ways to keep Trump in power beyond two terms. This isn't just about taking a backhoe to the White House, it's about Trump bulldozing the Constitution while corporate America writes the checks and democracy crumbles in real time.
