Tom Nichols: Secrets and Lies

In this episode of The Bulwark Podcast, Tim Miller and Tom Nichols dissect a Wall Street Journal article detailing a birthday card Donald Trump sent to Jeffrey Epstein, complete with a drawing and suggestive message, and analyze Trump's panicked reaction. They explore the implications of Trump's association with Epstein, his history of alleged sexual misconduct, and the potential damage to his political standing. The discussion extends to the broader issues of elite accountability, the politicization of intelligence agencies, and the unsettling implications of having someone like Trump in control of the nuclear arsenal, while also touching on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Federal Reserve's policies.
