With Trump's attorney general nomination, Todd Blanche is headed toward an uphill battle.

Veteran federal prosecutor @AWeissmann joins host Dahlia Lithwick on Amicus, Slate's podcast about the courts and the Supreme Court, to discuss the impending confirmation hearing and to analyze the past week in democratic dismantling at the Justice Department and on Capitol Hill.

Weissmann also proposes something truly shocking—real accountability for public officials who lie, as laid out in his new bestselling book, Liar’s Kingdom: How to Stop Trump’s Deceit and Save America.

Be sure to catch Amicus every Saturday this June—along with emergency pop up episodes—as the Supreme Court makes the biggest decisions of our time. Watch now on YouTube: youtu.be/-mEmGi7W95E?si=KnxALmtj66qLlems
