Malign Finance Fellow Josh Rudolph joined “The Power Vertical” to discuss how the Biden administration can combat corruption and kleptocracy.

It’s a vector of malign influence. It’s a tool to undermine trust in democratic institutions. And it facilitates potential Trojan Horses that threaten to undermine us from within.
So how can the United States and its allies defend themselves and fight back?
