    The A to Z of Trump’s legal woes…

    The A to Z of Trump’s legal woes…

    We’re now two weeks into Donald Trump’s ‘Hush Money’ trial taking place in Manhattan’s criminal courthouse. The trial has featured several hours of contentious testimony from Stormy Daniels, X-rated revelations about the former President and even a violation of a gag order.  
    But with this just one of several cases Mr. Trump is facing, how dangerous are these cases to the former president’s hopes of being re-elected? And what is the current mood amongst the Trump faithful? 
    Joining Anton to discuss is Paul Brandus, White House Bureau Chief for West Wing Reports.

Very good show

I’m freaky enjoying this show and appreciate the quick podcast uploads. Anton is self deprecating and funny and a very good interviewer. I’ve switched from Rte 1 on a Sunday morning as it’s more thorough and less censoring by the host. I particularly like the “what’s going on” slot Overall a great show.
