“Empire Politician”: Joe Biden’s Half-Century Record on Foreign Policy, War, Militarism & the CIA


As President Joe Biden nears his 100th day in the White House, DN looks at his foreign policy record, both as president and over the past five decades. A new project created by Jeremy Scahill, award-winning journalist and senior correspondent at The Intercept, examines Biden’s stances on war, militarism and the CIA going back to the early 1970s, when he was first elected as a senator in Delaware. We air a video discussing the project, titled “Empire Politician,” featuring Scahill.
