Trump on trial: Criminal charges in Manhattan, Supreme Court hearing on immunity collide this week

It will be a big week for news about former President Donald Trump. As his hush money trial begins in earnest today in a Manhattan courtroom, the podcast welcomes Anthony Michael Kreis to discuss what to expect from both prosecutors and defense attorneys. Who will be the first witnesses for the prosecution? How will Trump's lawyers counter testimony from his former lawyer Michael Cohen. Kreis also looks ahead to Thursday's U.S. Supreme Court hearing that will determine whether the former president is immune from prosecution for actions he took while in office. Then, "Weekend Edition Sunday" host Ayesha Rascoe talks about her time covering the Trump White House and her book on historically Black colleges and universities: “HBCU Made: A Celebration of the Black College Experience.” Plus, Marjorie Taylor Greene is facing backlash from conservative media for her efforts to oust Speaker Mike Johnson for pushing a vote on Ukraine funding. And Tia reports on Sen. Raphael Warnock’s private audience with the pope at the Vatican. Links to topics Politico: Will jury buy prosecution charge that Trump hush money was election interference?
