About this episode
From serving as Chief Legal Counsel for Congressman Joe McCarthy during McCarthyism in the '50s to being Trump's first "fixer", Roy Cohn used his connections and relentlessness to prosecute those he saw as his enemies. Bird and Goldmark explain why they use the term "American Scoundrel" to define him, and much more about the controversial figure.
