TRAILER: Executive Lawlessness: Leah Lit...

THE INTERCEPT
About this episode
This week on The Intercept Briefing, newsroom counsel and correspondent Shawn Musgrave speaks with professor and attorney Leah Litman and politics reporter Jessica Washington about how the Supreme Court’s right-wing supermajority is laying the legal foundation for unchecked executive lawlessness — and signaling to Trump that it won’t stand in his way.  Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
