The new head of the Department of the Interior has close ties to industry and a penchant for relaxing environmental regulations. He’s also the subject of an ethics investigation. Interior Secretary David Bernhardt represents a new phase in the Trump administration: the shift from a cabinet of flashy, venal outsiders to savvy, ideological insiders.
Guest: Lance Williams, senior reporter for Reveal and the Center for Investigative Reporting.
Podcast production by Mary Wilson, Jayson De Leon, and Anna Martin.
