Episode Why Trump's Goons are Fleeing West Wing From Hell
Joanna Coles and Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty break down the growing turmoil inside the Trump White House, starting with Karoline Leavitt’s sudden departure and what it reveals about the pressures facing the administration as the midterms approach. They discuss who could replace Leavitt, why Trump’s most loyal spokespeople may have limited options outside conservative media, and the increasingly bitter fight over who actually has control inside the West Wing. They also look at the departures of other senior officials, Susie Wiles’ slipping grip on the administration, and the extraordinary backdoor maneuver that put a new ICE chief in position while she was away at her daughter’s wedding. As more senior figures head for the exits and subpoenas loom, Joanna and Hugh consider what the accelerating West Wing exodus says about the future of Trump’s presidency.
