In this episode of Darkest Hour we'll dive into the Justice Department drama, where Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein reportedly suggested wearing a wire to record Trump during the chaos following Comey's firing.

This moment ran parallel to Wall Street's adaptation, where billionaire Bill Ackman at least In 2017, was saying some pretty unique things about the incoming Trump administration.

On the global stage, Trump ordered missile strikes against Syria after chemical weapons attacks, marking America's most direct intervention in the civil war. In Afghanistan, he reversed course from campaign promises, adding 4,000 troops and abandoning withdrawal timelines in favor of what he called "principled realism."

Meanwhile, the administration secured its first major victory with Neil Gorsuch's confirmation to the Supreme Court, filling Antonin Scalia's vacant seat after Republicans had blocked Obama's nominee Merrick Garland. This appointment would set the stage for a conservative transformation of the judiciary.

Through these interconnected stories, we examine how different power centers - from the DOJ to Wall Street, from the military to the Supreme Court - adapted to an unconventional presidency, revealing the complex dynamics at play during this transformative year in American history.

In this episode of Darkest Hour we’re taking a closer look at the 2016 Presidential Election—a pivotal moment in modern American history. We’ll explore how the race unfolded, starting with the candidates’ announcements and the strategies they used to navigate one of the most crowded and contentious election cycles in decades.

From Hillary Clinton’s historic campaign as the first woman to secure a major party nomination to Donald Trump’s unconventional rise as a political outsider, this election challenged expectations at every turn.

Along the way, we’ll break down the major turning points: the debates that dominated headlines, the controversies that reshaped the narrative like the FBI Director James Comey's surprise and of course Donald J. Trump has a few surprises of his own, these October surprises shook both campaigns in the final weeks.
