Show Notes

The evidence against Donald Trump simply keeps mounting, as his multi-pronged efforts to overturn the will of the people in the 2020 election continue to be exposed in the January 6 hearings. While some have since changed their tune, what is clear is that the former president was surrounded by a group of enablers and – in some cases – sycophants. They are the focus of Mark Leibovich’s new book, Thank You For Your Servitude, in which he profiles Republicans such as Lindsey Graham and Rick Perry, who went from scorning Trump to serving him. The author joins the show to discuss. 

Also on today's show: A new documentary investigates the Boy Scouts of America, exposing some of the 82,000 claims of sexual abuse against the youth organization, with firsthand accounts from survivors. Director Irene Taylor and former boy scout Stuart Lord join Hari Sreenivasan to discuss the century-long coverup.
