The Rachel Maddow Show is a political news and commentary show hosted by Rachel Maddow. In Season 8, Episode 56, Maddow delves into the latest news surrounding the Trump administration's controversial policies and actions.
The episode begins with Maddow examining the fallout from the previous week's bombshell revelations that the National Rifle Association (NRA) may have funneled illegal foreign donations to the Trump campaign in 2016. Maddow outlines the possible legal implications of this development and explores the potential consequences for both the Trump campaign and the NRA.
Next, Maddow turns her attention to the ongoing political crisis in Venezuela, where opposition leader Juan Guaidó has declared himself interim president, challenging the authority of President Nicolás Maduro. Maddow provides an in-depth analysis of the complex political and economic factors driving the crisis, and discusses the latest developments in the international community's response to the situation.
In the latter half of the episode, Maddow shifts focus to the ongoing efforts to investigate Russia's interference in the 2016 US presidential election.

Maddow also examines the recent testimony of Michael Cohen, President Trump's former personal attorney and fixer.
