Adam Schiff joins Jen to discuss what Trump's security vulnerabilities and his desperation for power might mean for a potential second term, among other topics. Next, Jen outlines the right-wing's hypocritical critiques of Biden ahead of special counsel Robert Hur's testimony before Congress. Rep. Dan Goldman joins to preview Hur's testimony and discuss the importance of a former Trump employee's testimony in his classified documents case. Later, Jen discusses Sen. Katie Britt's misleading story about a victim of sex trafficking with independent journalist Jonathan Katz who helped unravel it on TikTok. Finally, Jen analyzes the messaging failures of the royal family as an altered photo of Kate Middleton intensifies an ongoing PR crisis.
