Late in the day
yesterday, Donald Trump’s Presidential Inaugural Committee acknowledged that a
final report it filed with the Federal Election Commission this month was
riddled with errors, many of which were first identified through a crowdsourced
data project at The Huffington Post.
The project which is part of the Citizen Sleuth Project at Huff Post utilizes
volunteer fact-checkers who uncovered a shocking amount of errors the official
filing which suggests that the committee failed to perform even basic checks to
ensure that its record-keeping was accurate.
Joining me today to talk all about the project and what it has uncovered
is Christina Wilkie is a White House
reporter at The Huffington Post.
You all know my next
guest best as Miranda Hobbes from the hit HBO series and movies “Sex And The
City”. Now, you can catch her on
Broadway along side Laura Linney, in which she plays both Regina AND Birdie in
Lillian Hellman’s “The Little Foxes”
at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre as well as see her in the new film “A Quiet Passion” which she plays Emily
Dickenson. I’m pleased to have Cynthia Nixon on the show to talk about
these projects and also about her activism, especially in this current
political climate.
Since we last spoke
with Mark Joseph Stern of Slate last week a lot has happened, from
Justice Neil Gorsuch joining the Supreme Court to Attorney General Jefferson
Beauregard Sessions III calling the State of Hawaii just “some island in the
pacific”. Mark returns to the show today
to talk all about these issues and so much more.
