Summary
Convicted Felon Donald Trump nominates another personal lawyer, James/Jamie McDonald, from one of his favorite go-to law firms, Sullivan & Cromwell, for one of the most powerful jobs in the country: US Attorney for the SDNY. Katie Phang connects all of the dots, including exposing a recent criminal case prosecution that the Trump DOJ wants dismissed, which smacks of egregious pay-to-play corruption.
