The Liar

Last week, the Lawfare Podcast featured an outstanding episode exploring why Donald Trump lies so prolifically and the damage caused to the United States as a result of his 19,000-plus lies. It's the best piece on the topic I've read or heard, and believe me, I've ingested a great deal on the man.

The episode is hosted by Ben Wittes, who has authored a number of books on the presidency and several on the Trump administration. He interviewed Glenn Kessler, author of a new book about Trump's lying and also head honcho at the Washington Post's "Fact Checker" column.
