The FRONTLINE Interviews:

Trump’s Power & the Rule of Law

Our Sources. On the Record. At Your Fingertips.

To produce Trump’s Power & the Rule of Law, the FRONTLINE team conducted more than a dozen new interviews with Trump allies, opponents, legal experts and journalists. Collectively, the interviews tell the inside story of the high-stakes showdown between President Donald Trump and the courts over presidential power. Ten of the interviews can be explored below in video or text. The collection is part of FRONTLINE’s Transparency Project, which makes our source material available to the public.
