Part Of Special Counsel Report Released; Hegseth Confirmation Hearing

The Department of Justice's long-awaited election interference report against Donald Trump, released early Tuesday, said the evidence against the president-elect would have led to his conviction at trial — if not for his election victory that led to charges being dropped.

Then, confirmation hearings for Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump's pick to run the Department of Defense, took place on Capitol Hill. Hegseth defended himself against accusations of sexual misconduct & alcohol abuse.

This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, senior political editor & correspondent Domenico Montanaro, congressional correspondent Deirdre Walsh, and defense correspondent Tom Bowman.

The podcast is produced by Bria Suggs & Kelli Wessinger, and edited by Casey Morell. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
