The Populist Paradox Of Matt Gaetz

President-elect Donald Trump’s pick of Congressman Matt Gaetz for attorney general has rocked Washington. Gaetz’s controversial history, including a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking, makes him an absurd choice. But in a special Lever Time Premium episode exclusively for paid subscribers, political analyst and Lever contributor Matt Stoller points out that Gaetz has a surprising record on antitrust and issues of corporate power, raising questions about his potential impact on corporate regulation if he manages to be confirmed.


Stoller discusses the unpredictable dynamics of Trump’s administration and why Gaetz’s past actions may not dictate his potential future as the country’s top prosecutor.
