It's a whirlwind of political intrigue and a whole lot of legal drama. In this first hour, Maggie dives into the latest clashes in American politics: the controversial use of the 'Rule of Five' to demand Epstein files from the Trump administration, and the brewing showdown in Washington as Trump pushes for a federal takeover of the Metropolitan Police. On the international stage, all eyes are on Alaska, where Trump and Putin’s summit raises questions about possible territorial concessions in Ukraine. With Zelensky left off the guest list, Professor Lowell Barrington joins Maggie to explain the implications and warn that Trump’s moves could embolden Putin.
