Trailer: After Trump (Starting April 8th)

04/01/21 • 1 min

After Trump, a podcast series based on the book in which authors Jack Goldsmith and Bob Bauer chronicle President Donald Trump’s historic abandonment of his constitutional duties, looks closely at the weaknesses and loopholes within the infrastructure of the office that allowed the Trump administration to undermine the U.S. system of checks and balances.

After Trump takes a deep look at Goldsmith and Bauer’s prescriptions for reconstructing the presidency. Each episode presents a blueprint for what comes next — what ensuing administrations might do to restore faith and credit in the presidency — and what the whole of government should do to ensure that future presidents cannot exploit fissures in the executive branch.

Episode 1: Follow the Money

In our first episode, we explore some of President Trump’s most brazen transgressions—the conflicts of interest, the self-dealing and those elusive tax returns.

In the run up to his inauguration, Trump created a sort of original sin when it came to his conflicts of interest, proclaiming that he is above any conflict of interest norms and regulation. Throughout his presidency, Trump continued to challenge any transparency when it came to his personal dealings and conflicts while in office.

Virginia Heffernan explains how After Trump authors Bob Bauer and Jack Goldsmith propose reforming our laws and norms on a President’s financial ties and activities while in office.
