Conservative judge resigns, calling Trump uniquely dangerous

Season 2025 Episode 315 | 8m 31s

Mark Wolf, a Reagan-appointed federal judge, is resigning after four decades on the bench, and he’s sounding the alarm. In an essay published by The Atlantic, he wrote, “The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable.” Wolf shared additional context and more of his concerns with Amna Nawaz.
