August 12, 2026, 7pm: Trump's DOJ is going to extraordinary lengths to punish the President's enemies, now convening a rare special grand jury to potentially release a report related to any subject of Trump's ire. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) joins The Weeknight with his plans to fight back. And, as the self-enrichment of Donald Trump reaches new levels of absurdity, Truth Social is getting sued for its new service that charges up to $100,000 for early access to the President’s posts. Fmr. federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori joins The Weeknight to respond to the latest grift.
