Episode 148: David Rohde

David Rohde is a National Security reporter for NBC News and a longtime foreign correspondent. He won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on the war in Bosnia. When Rohde was a reporter for the New York Times, he was kidnapped by the Taliban and held for 7 months before he managed to escape. Rohde's latest book is called Where Tyranny Begins. He looks at all the ways in which former President Donald Trump tried to interfere with the Department of Justice including the FBI. We know about many of these instances but when you read the meticulous reporting job Rohde has done and listen to our conversation, you see Donald Trump’s actions as an attack on our democracy itself.
