I joined Times Radio’s Trump Report on Wednesday for a 28-minute deep dive into the latest Donald Trump chaos at home and abroad.

Host Maddie Hale and I begin with the problem that won’t go away for Donald: Jeffrey Epstein. I take apart the story of Trump’s birthday drawing for Epstein and how he and the White House are digging a deeper hole with their lies.

Will his supporters and Republicans in Congress finally hold him accountable?

We discuss Israel’s attempted assassination of Hamas negotiators in Qatar and why it puts Trump — whether or not he knew in advance — between a rock and a hard place.

And I analyze the breaking news of Russia’s drone incursion into Poland and how it might affect US support for Ukraine’s resistance of Vladimir Putin’s invasion.
