On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s “Politically Georgia” podcast, former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan weighs in on top Trump administration officials sharing attack plans in a group chat that accidentally included the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.

“I hope Democrats, Republicans and the growing list of in-betweeners all agree that there’s a better way to share classified information that’s very sensitive,” the AJC contributor said. “Lives depend on it.”

Meanwhile, state Rep. Vance Smith, R-Pine Mountain, voted against Gov. Brian Kemp’s legal overhaul and lost his job as president and CEO of the Harris County Chamber of Commerce.

Hosts Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy have the latest on the political fallout. There’s also fresh scrutiny for The New Georgia Project, which was founded by Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams.
