In light of Christopher Wray's intent to resign as FBI Director, Jen Psaki explains Trump's strategy of nominating unqualified people to serve in his cabinet -- ensuring absolute fealty from those who otherwise would be relative unknowns. Jen is joined by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse to discuss the dangers of the loyalty Trump engenders. Next, Jen is joined by author Tim Weiner to his concerns about Kash Patel potentially leading the FBI, explaining why his nomination represents a "disastrous rise of misplaced power." Later, Jen is joined by Representative Ro Khanna to discuss Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's DOGE plan to reform the government and how he plans to work with the subcommittee on certain issues. Finally, Jen sounds the alarm on RFK Jr's association with radical anti-vaccine figures, including one ally, Aaron Siri, who helped try to revoke the approval of the polio vaccine. Jen is joined by The New York Times reporter, Sheryl Gay Stolberg, who broke the story on Siri to discuss her reporting.Check out our social pages below:https://twitter.com/InsideWithPsakihttps://www.instagram.com/InsideWithPsaki/https://www.tiktok.com/@insidewithpsakihttps://www.msnbc.com/jen-psaki
