Jeff Flake Talks Impeachment and More

Jeff Flake Talks Impeachment and More

In a week that saw the talks of impeachment boil over into Congressional action, a former Republican Senator says Speaker Nancy Pelosi was right to hold off on an impeachment inquiry until now. Once a reliable critic of the Trump administration, Jeff Flake joins Mary Harris to discuss a week that could change the presidency, how he’s reflecting on the Kavanaugh hearings one year later, and why there’s no room for him in today’s Republican party.

This conversation was recorded live at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, TX.

Guest: Former Senator of Arizona, Jeff Flake
