On Tuesday, during a meeting at the White House with the president of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos Jr, US president Donald Trump launched an incendiary attack on one of his predecessors, Barack Obama.In a fluent speech he accused Obama of “treason” and “sedition”.No evidence was given and the“papers” he mentioned seemed to refer to last week's report from Tulsi Gabbard, his national security director, on the 2016 election that claimed to show “a treasonous conspiracy” with Russia to fix the election against Trump.Trump has frequently attacked his political opponents, regularly mentioning “Sleepy Joe Biden” and “Lying Hillary Clinton”. But is this different? And why now? Might it be another diversionary tactic to take the focus of the so-called Epstein files, as the controversy around their release – or even existence – shows no sign of calming? And what has Obama said?Scott Lucas, political analyst and professor at UCD's Clinton Institute, explains.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Declan Conlon. Hosted on Acast.

Joe Biden blanking George Clooney is just one of many shocking anecdotes included in Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again – a bombshell new book about the final months of the 46th US president's administration. So what does this shocking behind-the-scenes story mean for Mr Biden's political legacy and indeed, the Democratic Party itself? Host: Ellen Coyne | Guests: Lorcan Nyhan (Head of Training at the Communications Clinic) and Scott Lucas (Professor of International Politics at the Clinton Institute at UCD) ­ It was in June of last year at a Hollywood fundraiser where a former US President is said to have blanked a man he has known for nearly two decades. “You know George, George Clooney,” an aide told Joe Biden – who had failed to recognise one of the most famous faces in the world. This shocking anecdote is one of many included in Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again – the new bombshell book about the final months of Joe Biden's administration. The book has landed at an especially tough juncture for the 82-year-old, following his recently announced diagnosis of an aggressive form of prostate cancer. And while authors Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson have faced some criticism for the timing – their work exposes concerted efforts to cocoon both the president and the American people from his very clear decline. Ellen Coyne is joined by Lorcan Nyhan and Scott Lucas to ask whether this shocking behind-the-scenes story could destroy Biden's political legacy and indeed, the Democratic Party itself?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
