In this explosive Senate hearing, Senator Elizabeth Warren confronts Trump’s IRS Commissioner nominee with Section 7217 of the U.S. Tax Code, pressing him on whether it’s legal for the president to use the IRS as a political weapon. After Trump openly vowed to revoke Harvard’s nonprofit status as revenge, Warren demanded real answers—and what she got was evasion, denial, and political cowardice.
📺 Watch as Warren literally reads the law word-for-word, exposing this nominee’s refusal to defend the IRS from abuse of power. This moment isn’t just about taxes—it’s about democracy, rule of law, and whether Trump can turn government tools into weapons against his critics.

A key element of Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theories is that Epstein's friends and "clients" are wealthy elites who commit horrible crimes against underage girls but never get in trouble for it because of their elite status. And so, key to Donald Trump's support is the idea that he would bring accountability to those elites.
Jen Psaki argues, now that Trump is apparently standing in the way of the release of information about the Epstein case, Trump is being recognized as the unaccountable elite he actually is and has always been. - Aired on 07/15/2025.
