Listen "Ben Wittes: The US Switches Sides in Ukraine"
Episode Synopsis
Charlie Sykes is joined by legal analyst Ben Wittes to examine the first month of Trump's second presidency and the shocking realignment of U.S. foreign and domestic policy. They discuss the administration’s abandonment of Ukraine, the erosion of DOJ independence, and the broader constitutional crisis emerging from Trump’s unchecked executive power. With Republican capitulation in Congress and Trump’s open defiance of legal norms, Sykes and Wittes explore the implications for democracy, the judiciary’s role as the last remaining guardrail, and whether Europe can step up as the U.S. retreats from its global leadership. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
