Then, joined by Stuart Stevens, she breaks down the fallout from Graham Platner's withdrawal from the Maine Senate race, Donald Trump's latest legal setback in the E. Jean Carroll case, and what these stories reveal about power, accountability, and politics. Tara Palmeri is one of the most feared and fearless reporters covering power and politics.
