Hugh Dougherty joins Joanna Coles to break down the stunning court ruling that could bring Donald Trump’s controversial White House ballroom project to a halt—and why legal experts believe the decision leaves even the Supreme Court with few easy options. They also dive into Todd Blanche’s path to attorney general despite fierce opposition from Epstein survivors, the political fallout for Senate Republicans, Trump’s own admission that Republicans could be headed for a brutal midterm defeat, and alarming new economic data that threatens his political standing. Along the way, they discuss White House leaks, growing unrest inside Trump’s orbit, and why the administration’s biggest battles may be just beginning in what could become one of the most consequential weeks of Trump’s presidency.
