The McFiles Network with host Christopher McDonald and guest Rich Higgins

(Originally broadcast 19 Nov 2020.) In 2016, Rich Higgins sent a memo to President Trump warning of anti-American groups' intentions. For that, he was dismissed by General McMasters. Though still vilified in the media over his words, Rich's expertise in issues of national security makes him highly credible. Enjoy this in-depth interview on these matters with the author of "The Memo."
