Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
About this episode

Trump’s name is in the Epstein files. KBJ’s dissents arebecoming more pointed. Emil Bove’s shady nomination process appears highly coordinated. The House of Representatives is headed home early for August recess. Gerrymandering and voter suppression efforts are gaining steam. And we’re only six months into Trump’s second term. 

 

In this episode of Making the Case, Senator Whitehouse is joined by Congressman Jamie Raskin to discuss everything but the kitchen sink.
