It was unhinged, even by Trumpworld standards. In the dying days of the Donald\\u2019s administration, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows asked the Justice Department to investigate a bizarre conspiracy theory, that an Italian defense contractor somehow swung the election to Joe Biden. Emails between Meadows and the DOJ were uncovered over the weekend. And there\\u2019s likely to be more to come. This is only \\u201ctip of the iceberg of all the crazy stuff that went on this winter,\\u201d George Conway tells Molly Jong-Fast on the latest episode of The New Abnormal. \\u201cThese guys were doing some wild, wild stuff. And it wasn\'t just the campaign and the kooky campaign hangers-on, and the lawyers who were working on the campaign, like Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell. This stuff was going on in the White House.\\u201d Plus! Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel talks about the militia movement, which has become so alarmingly potent in her state. And Dallas high school valedictorian Paxton Smith describes the reaction to her instantly-viral speech against Texas\\u2019 new anti-abortion law.
