Rafah Crossing, Trump’s IRS Lawsuit, Don Lemon’s Arrest, and MAGA Jesus
The Bulletin
Intro
Clarissa and Mike open the show, outline headlines, and introduce guest Peter Wehner and episode topics.
The Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt opened for the first time in a year, a step that will allow some Palestinians to leave for medical care. Then, President Trump sued the IRS for $10 billion for leaking his tax returns in 2019. Finally, former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested in connection with the protest in Minnesota that interrupted a church service. Mike Cosper and Clarissa Moll discuss these headlines, and Mike sits down with Pete Wehner of The Atlantic to discuss the difference between the MAGA Jesus and the real Jesus.
