The Trump Trials: Sidebar
The Washington Post’s Libby Casey, Rhonda Colvin and James Hohmann gather for a weekly conversation about former president Donald Trump’s ongoing legal troubles. As trials loom in New York, Florida, Georgia and Washington, D.C., the team will break down the most important – and historic – twists and turns, all as Trump seeks a second term as president. The crew will sit down each Thursday (with the occasional breaking news episode) to discuss what has happened that week, and what’s coming up the next week – often with guest appearances from Washington Post reporters. Listen in to see how you can submit your own questions for the team to answer.

Phenomenal show. (Let them cook!)

This is my favorite political podcast. By far. If she’d stop interrupting everyone, 5/5 stars.
Stop interrupting!!

Why does she keep interrupting her guests?? Don't invite them on if you're going to keep interrupting. The content is also not engaging. I'll stick with the NPR trumps trials podcast.
Fabulous

Seriously good, quick witted and relevant. Also: how great is Libby Casey!? As I recall she was on the local NPR affiliate in Fairbanks Alaska years ago, tromping through snow, ice, and subzero temperatures to secure interviews… Now with the recreations- she gets us so close to the story! Thanks for the deep dives into the daily news (such as it is) in such a researched and dynamic way.

These are reporters analyzing legal issues, and it’s clear none of them has legal training. I’m a criminal lawyer and listening to this podcast I have identified several incorrect statements from the participants. Voir Dire does not mean “to speak the truth”, despite the panelists’ assertion to the contrary. VERDICT comes from the Latin for to speak the truth. Voir Dire is French in origin. VOIR means “to see” and DIRE means “to speak” or “to say”. It is the lawyer’s opportunity to see and speak to jurors. Furthermore, the US Supreme Court absolutely can overturn state criminal convictions if they run afoul of the US Constitution. The federal constitution sets a floor for rights and procedures that all states must follow. Don’t hire people to speak on this show if they don’t know what they’re talking about.
