David Cole talks to Philippe Sands

Defending Liberty in the Age of Trump

 
Hay Festival 2017,

Trump threatens rights of speech, privacy, religious freedom, voting and equality -- and we’re just getting started.  Cole is the National Legal Director of the American Civil Liberties Union, which has emerged as a leader in the fight to preserve civil liberties. He explains what’s going on to Philippe Sands.
