CREW’s Noah Bookbinder on Government Oversight in the Trump Era
This week on "The Tent," Daniella and Ed discuss government oversight in the Trump era with Noah Bookbinder, executive director of the government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
Part of a Series
As the country continues to reel from the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, President Donald Trump announced last week his intent to fire U.S. State Department Inspector General Steve Linick, the fourth IG to be fired since Trump’s impeachment last winter. To understand more about Trump’s aversion to oversight, Daniella and Ed chat this week with Noah Bookbinder, the executive director of the government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).
