“Trump Justice Department hits a snag”
12/4/2025
After breaking down Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s numerous controversies, such as the boat strikes in the Caribbean and Signalgate, Nicolle asks “Who are we?” The answer may lie in new reporting from Bloomberg, which reveals that the FBI is pressuring the bureau’s domestic terrorism agents to open a seditious conspiracy investigation into six Democratic lawmakers who advised military service members to defy unlawful orders.
Later, Carol Leonnig and Andrew Weissmann join Nicolle to discuss the snag the Trump DOJ ran into in an effort to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James. In late November, Letitia James and James Comey had their criminal indictments dismissed by a judge, citing Prosecutor Lindsay Halligan’s “unlawful appointment.”
Finally, Jacob Soboroff breaks down his interview with a college student who was taken into ICE custody and deported back to Honduras. She was detained at the airport while she was on her way to surprise her family for Thanksgiving.

“One of the most troubling things I've seen”
12/4/2025
Nicolle Wallace covers a bipartisan effort to receive more answers on the deadly double-tap boat strike in the Caribbean. After Congress was briefed on the military operation, Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) said, “what I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I’ve seen in my time in public service.”
Later, Nicolle covers the Pentagon Inspector General’s conclusion that Pete Hegseth did not follow proper Department of Defense protocol, which does not allow using personal devices for official DoD business. This conclusion is in response to Hegseth and other prominent Trump administration officials discussing classified war plans on a messaging app called Signal. The scandal has since been dubbed ‘Signalgate.’

“leave no survivors”
12/1/2025
Nicolle Wallace covers Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s order to the military to leave no survivors on a strike against boats in the Caribbean. Reporting in The Washington Post suggests that current and former members of the military are unsure if all the people on the targeted boat were guilty of drug trafficking —Hegseth’s primary justification for the strikes.
While the Defense Department carries out boat strikes in the name of fighting drug trafficking, Nicolle, Andrew Weissmann, and Former Senator Claire McCaskill discuss Trump’s pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez. Hernandez was found guilty of shipping “more than 500 tons of cocaine into the United States,” according to The New York Times.
