Defense Official: Transcripts Show Trump Playing Dirty Game With Ukraine Aid | The Last Word | MSNBC

This week, I was invited onto Lawrence O'Donnell's show, The Last Word, to discuss the ongoing impeachment inquiry.

I was able to spend some time unpacking what the inquiry is confirming about Trump:

"He's always acting in Donald Trump's personal, political interest. And that's why this is an abuse of his power – it's a betrayal of his oath of office. He gets up every morning, and unfortunately, he's not thinking about the 350 million Americans whose interests he should represent. He's thinking about his own personal political gain. This is just another example of that."

Watch the video, and I'll keep you posted on the latest.  This week, people across the country will have the opportunity to hear public testimony from outstanding members of our diplomatic corps who have dedicated their careers to representing the best of what America has to offer.
