Episode 217
About the Episode
President Trump has a habit of courting unfounded conspiracies. That includes QAnon, the belief that some hidden figure in the government is explaining how Trump is waging a secret battle against dark, nefarious forces. His amplification of QAnon has also fueled speculation about the Jeffrey Epstein case. William Brangham discussed more with Will Sommer, author of “Trust the Plan."
