Rick Perlstein on the History Behind the Impeachment Inquiry

Historian and journalist Rick Perlstein has been called the “chronicler extraordinaire of American conservativism,” and he has studied what the Nixon and Clinton scandals can tell us about today’s hearings. Perlstein sits down with Alison Stewart to provide a historical lens and some much-needed perspective to the ongoing impeachment hearings.
