## Resource

On today’s episode,  Lawfare  Managing Editor Tyler McBrien sits down with Emily Bazelon, a staff writer at the New York Times Magazine, the Truman Capote Fellow for Creative Writing and Law at Yale Law School, and the co-host of Slate’s weekly podcast, “Political Gabfest.” They discuss three stories Bazelon and her colleagues recently published in the New York Times Magazine. For this trilogy of oral histories, they spoke with dozens of current and former government employees at the Department of Justice (“ The Unraveling of the Justice Department ”), FBI (“ A Year Inside Kash Patel’s F.B.I. ”), and Department of Homeland Security (“ The View From Inside Trump’s D.H.S. ”) about their experiences navigating the upheaval of the second Trump administration from the inside. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
