Summary
President Trump is set to address the nation in primetime to discuss election security. Ed O'Keefe is at the White House North Lawn to preview those remarks, while Election Law Contributor David Becker debunks the claims of China meddling in U.S. elections. He reiterates his trust in the election process as we head closer to the midterms. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche faces his second day of questioning for his confirmation hearing, where Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky voices her concerns on Capitol Hill. Major interviews New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez regarding his criticism of Blanche and his claim that the DOJ is hindering his Epstein investigation into Zorro Ranch. Plus, New York is the first state in the nation to impose a moratorium on data centers. Major speaks with longtime environmental activist Erin Brockovich about the long-term effects of this policy. All that and more on "The Takeout."
