Jon, Dan Pfeiffer & Preet Bharara on Trump's Pressure Campaigns - The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart



As Trump's pressure campaigns target universities, media outlets, and private companies, Jon is joined by former US Attorney Preet Bharara, host of "Stay Tuned with Preet," and Dan Pfeiffer, co-host of "Pod Save America" and author of "Message Box." Together, they examine the tools available to presidents to coerce independent institutions, explore the loopholes in our democratic guardrails that enable such pressure, and consider whether a future Democratic administration could—or should—repair the vulnerabilities Trump is exploiting or use them for its own purposes. Plus, Jon tries make sense of a wild week from Colbert cancellation to Hunter Biden’s insane interview and all the Epstein drops in between.
