Judge Hannah Dugan’s Bombshell Indictment:
An unprecedented indictment of a sitting judge sparks a crisis of judicial integrity.

Qatar, Trump, and the Emoluments Clause Scandal:
Corey and John reveal how a lavish foreign gift to Trump represents exactly the type of dangerous influence America’s founders warned against—from Washington’s time to ours.
