Weaponization and Whistleblowers: Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI)
This week, Major visits Rep. Stacey Plaskett, the Democratic delegate for the U.S. Virgin Islands, in her office on Capitol Hill. Plaskett, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee’s “weaponization” of government committee, says House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan are attempting to intimidate Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in his investigation of former President Trump. She also says the witnesses Rep. Jordan has interviewed for the "weaponization" committee cannot be considered "whistleblowers" and says their claims of partisan attacks in the federal government are "down the rabbit hole."
Plus, Plaskett looks back at her high-profile role in Trump's second impeachment trial and discusses what fueled her decision to switch political parties over a decade ago.
