Checks and Balance: Stormy weather
A jury has been selected in Donald Trump's criminal trial in Manhattan. The case has been criticised as flawed and partisan, but of the four indictments against Mr Trump, it may be the only one to produce a verdict before the election. Now the trial is underway, what should one make of it? And what difference could a guilty verdict make?
John Prideaux hosts with Charlotte Howard and Idrees Kahloon. Jed Shugerman of Boston University and The Economist’s James Bennet and Kennett Werner also contribute.

Checks and Balance: The swing of things

カスタマーレビュー
Balanced, brainy and fun.
Always interesting, even on the driest topics. And best of all, not too ideological. Warmly recommended.
