On today's edition of The Trump Report, Fergus Macphee is joined by the investigative journalist and editor of The Insider Michael Weiss to discuss a slightly different topic. Michael has been reporting on anomalous health incidents (AHIs), Havana Syndrome and its links to possible devices for years and this week a CNN report revealed the US bought a mystery device in the last days of the Biden administration that may be linked to these incidents. He explains what the symptoms are and what this new revelation means for wider global security and weapons development.
