Donald Trump’s so-called “hush money” trial was a historic episode in Trump’s unprecedented political career. The trial provided unique insight into the freedoms and limitations of the American presidency, and how our political system is and isn’t equipped to respond to complex intersections of the law and the country’s highest office. Jonathan Alter—one of only a handful of journalists present in the courtroom in April 2024—joins us to discussTrump’s trial, its aftermath, and the larger context in which the judicial struggle unfolded.
