Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 0:00Psaki presents a New York Times report on a $50 million deal between a pardon seeker's family and Alina Habba.
  2. 2:18Liz Oyer says Habba's contract created conflicts because she was also advising the Justice Department.
  3. 12:35Trump is shown tying Camp Lejeune settlement payouts for veterans to a Republican midterm victory.
  4. 15:10Psaki reviews ethics controversies involving Kimberly Guilfoyle, Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski.
  5. 17:07Sarah Longwell argues that economic frustration makes voters more open to arguments about corruption.
  6. 24:40Psaki examines the Justice Department's Alaska ballot lawsuit and Blanche's remark that he works for Trump.

Jen Psaki opens her week of segments with a New York Times headline: "A Billionaire Wanted a Trump Pardon. His Family Gave Alina Habba a $50 Million Deal." According to the report as Psaki presents it, the family of Venezuelan banker Julio Herrera Velutini struck the deal with Habba, a longtime Trump lawyer, while he was seeking a presidential pardon.

Her guest, former U.S. Pardon Attorney Liz Oyer, argues that the contract raises ethics and conflict-of-interest problems because Habba was also advising the Justice Department. "It's sort of like hiring a lawyer who works for the judge who's deciding your case," Oyer says.

The compilation, posted under the title "Corruption SCANDAL rocks Trump just before midterms," collects segments from MS NOW's "The Briefing with Jen Psaki." It drew nearly 170,000 views in its first four hours, more than any other new video on the channel since yesterday.

Much of the half hour deals with what Psaki calls the Republicans' closing arguments before the midterms. One clip shows Trump discussing settlement payments for veterans affected by Camp Lejeune's contaminated water: "So if we don't win, there's no money. If we do win, you're getting it." Psaki also runs through ethics controversies involving Kimberly Guilfoyle, Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, along with footage of Trump talking to reporters about the Justice Department inquiry into Lewandowski.

Sarah Longwell of The Bulwark, who talks to voters in focus groups, joins Psaki to argue that economic strain is making people more receptive to arguments about corruption. In her account, voters who feel they cannot keep up with prices are paying closer attention to the Trump family's crypto ventures.

The reel ends with the Justice Department's lawsuit over Alaska's Senate race, which MS NOW has covered all week. The new element here is a clip of Attorney General Todd Blanche asked about the department's independence from the White House: "I don't. I work for President Trump." Psaki presents that answer as the real institutional problem.
