Can Democrats Hold Trump Accountable?

In this episode of “The David Frum Show,” The Atlantic’s David Frum opens with a reminder on how hard President Trump has worked over the past two years to prevent free and fair elections in 2026.

Then David is joined by Dave Rapallo, former longtime staff director of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, for a conversation on what tools Democrats in Congress would have to investigate President Trump and how the president might respond. David and Rapallo discuss both the challenges and the opportunities for Congress ahead for reasserting the rule of law in America.

Finally, David ends the episode with a discussion of “I, Robot” by Isaac Asimov and its influence on today’s tech world.
