In the latest episode of his Club Random podcast that dropped Monday, Maher grilled Lara Trump, Eric Trump's wife, on many separate topics including controversial pardons and the president's use of the word piggy to describe a reporter."
"Not that other administrations don't have their soft spot for people who are loyal to them. They are.
