Ep. 40: Lee Smith: ‘U.S. public sphere has been poisoned by FBI, Obama admin’

In the latest episode of “Global Perspectives,” Ellie Cohanim talks with journalist and author Lee Smith about how “half of the country fell prey to an insane story about the president of the United States working on behalf of a foreign power.”

They look at US President Barack Obama’s willingness to use the country’s intelligence agencies to spy on Donald Trump and those opposed to the Iranian nuclear deal, and how the January 6 hearings were “the definition of a ‘show trial.’"
