Trump Threatens a Possible Federal Takeover of Washington, DC

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss President Trump’s claim that he was debanked by major New York financial institutions due to pressure from Biden-era bank regulators. They also talk about crime in the nation’s capital which has led Trump to threaten a possible federal takeover of Washington, DC. Then, they discuss President Trump’s statement yesterday that he considers Vice President J.D. Vance the heir apparent to the MAGA movement. And, they chat about the expanding battle over redistricting as more states threaten to change their congressional maps in response to Texas. Then finally, they talk about Glenn Kessler, the Washington Post editor who has written “The Fact Checker” column since 2011 and his new piece for Substack about his decision to take a buy-out and leave the paper. And winding it up, Andrew talks with historian Jay Cost of the American Enterprise Institute about why Congress takes the summer off and whether members will continue to hold town halls in their districts.
