In This Episode:

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to investigate Trump’s cabinet appointees, exposing Matt Gaetz’s improprieties and threat to the rule of law, Pete Hegseth’s troublingly light resume and lack of executive experience, and RFK Jr.’s advocacy of conspiracy-laden medical misinformation. Then, the #Sisters discuss the future of Jack Smith’s prosecutions, looking at what we can expect from his final brief and the national security ramifications of the dangerous precedent Trump has set by failing to protect classified materials.  They also debate the ability of the SCOTUS to serve as a check on the presidency and emphasize the role lower courts’ have in the battle for our democracy.
