Next
month when Donald Trump takes the oath of office he will swear to “preserve,
protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” However, a previously obscure provision in
the nation’s founding document has now become the focus of special attention
because of Trump’s worldwide real estate holdings and business ventures. Joining me today to talk all about a
provision in the Constitution known as the “emoluments clause” and how it couldaffect President Elect Trump’s term in office is David G. Savage who covers the Supreme Court and legal issues for the Los Angeles Times’ Washington
bureau.

Today on The Michelangelo Signorile Show on SiriusXM PROGRESS ch.127
Like Betsy DeVos, who
wants to destroy public education, and Jeff Sessions, who wants to destroy the
Voting Rights Act, Donald Trump’s pick to head the EPA, Scott Pruitt is also
against the very laws he will soon be in charge of enforcing. Joining me today to talk all about Trump’s
Climate-Denying EPA pick and how he is worse than you think is Jay Michaelson
who is a Columnist for The Daily Beast
and The Forward newspaper
In the final days of
the election, FBI Director James Comey announced that he was reopening the case
into Sec. Hillary Clinton’s emails, a move that many believe cost Clinton the
election. But how was it that the FBI
was allowed to reopen an investigation into an issue many thought were behind
the Demcratic candidate for President? Joining me today is a
ttorney E. Randol Schoenberg who is asking
that same question and is taking it a step further, filing a suit against the
FBI for the warrant they allege they had to reopen an investigation.
This sure has been another crazy week in
politics what with the fallout over ‘pizzagate’, President Elect Trump
announcing that Dr. Ben Carson will lead HUD, and retired Lt. Gen. Michael
Flynn will be his National Security Adviser. Joining me today to help us wrap
up the week in politics is Eleanor Clift
the Washington correspondent for The Daily Beast, where she covers the White House and writes about politics and
culture.
