Week 123 - Trump's Conspiracy Theory Tweets - a podcast by Amy Siskind

This week started with maniacal tweeting by Trump: more than 50 tweets  over the weekend on a variety of unrelated topics, including multiple  retweets of conspiracy theorists. The week’s news was overshadowed by  Trump’s daily attacks against deceased Senator John McCain and George  Conway, husband of senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway. The  off-kilter — even by his standards — behavior by Trump seemed  foreboding, and sure enough, on Friday, Mueller’s final report was  delivered to Attorney General William Barr.

Among the subjects of his ire on Twitter this week, Trump continued  to focus on alleged and unsubstantiated bias of social media companies,  as his ally Rep. Devin Nunes filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit  against Twitter and three Twitter accounts. Congressional probes moved  ahead, including new revelations that Jared Kushner used WhatsApp to  communicate on official White House business, including with foreign  officials, and in possible violations of the Presidential Records  Act — as did Ivanka Trump for White House business with her use of a  personal email account. Meanwhile the White House refused to cooperate  with Congressional document requests, as Rep. Elijah Cummings accused  them of “stonewalling.”
