'BradCast' 4/17/20 (Guest: Former Asst. U.S. Attorney Randall Eliason)
It's Tax Day! Donald Trump tries to promote his massive tax cut for the rich, but not many are dumb enough to actually believe him, as White House staffers and Republicans in Congress are leaving in droves, and legal troubles are growing ever closer to the President by the hour.\xa0 While Trump and the GOP have been hoping their deficit-exploding tax cut would help their chances in the upcoming 2018 mid-term elections, new polling reveals the scheme is decreasing in popularity with voters. More Republicans are leaving Congress, lobbyists-turned-White House officials are crawling back out of the swamp to get their lobbying gigs back, and even Trump's stolen Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch abandoned the President momentarily to join the Court's four liberals in striking strike down an immigration law.\xa0 Randall Eliason, former assistant U.S. Attorney and George Washington University law professor, joins us to explain Trump's mounting personal legal woes -- last week's raid of his "personal attorney" Michael Cohen, the "unprecedented\u201d arguments Trump's attorneys are attempting to deploy, the ins and outs of attorney-client privilege and "corrupt intent," and the legal underpinnings and potential outcomes \u2013 including the possibility of indictment -- in Special Counsel Roberts Mueller's probe. Finally, Desi Doyen has the latest 'Green News Report,' on the increasingly scandal-plagued EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, and some good news from Apple and Google.
