An Evening with Obama's former U.S. Attorney, Barbara McQuade
Advertisement
For a piercing exposé on the escalating threat of far-right politics, look no further than "The Fix," a clear roadmap for saving our democracy.
As a former U.S. attorney under President Barack Obama, Barbara McQuade became all too familiar with corruption cases of all stripes, including prosecuting former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, the “underwear bomber” Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, and Volkswagen for emissions violations. She draws on her experience to reveal how organized crime and political opportunism are now exploiting the levers of power—using corruption, cruelty, and chaos as tools to dominate institutions and erase accountability.
McQuade will be joined in conversation with NWS Co-Founder, Chair, and Creative Director Doug Stanton.
