Farrah Tomazin, the Daily Beast's Political Correspondent, joins Joanna Coles from Washington, D.C. with an on-the-ground look at Donald Trump's race to remake the nation's capital—and why so many of his headline-grabbing projects are already running into trouble. From the drained Reflecting Pool and delayed restoration projects to a sparsely attended Great American State Fair, Farrah explains how rushed timelines, no-bid contracts, and made-for-TV spectacles are reshaping the city ahead of America's 250th anniversary. She also takes listeners inside Todd Blanche's high-stakes confirmation hearing for attorney general, where Trump's former personal lawyer faces tough questions over the Justice Department's independence, the Epstein files, and an admission that leaved senators stunned.
