Will the DNC Hack Lawsuit Expose Trump-Russia Ties?

Duration: 32:18

In this episode of Unprecedented, we talk with Cogan Schneier, a reporter for The National Law Journal who wrote about the groundbreaking privacy and civil rights lawsuit when it was filed last week. "While the lawsuit doesn't have any smoking gun … if it were to make it past the initial stages and say go into discovery, there would be a lot of interesting information that would likely come out of that," Schneier says. 

We also hear from Andrew Wright, an attorney in the Obama White House who's now a law professor at Savannah Law School and a contributor to the legal news blog Just Security. Wright puts the case in its historical context — stretching back to the Watergate break-in — and talks about some of the hurdles it will likely face in court.
