Trump Is Right for Once

A New York judge ruled last week that Donald Trump must pay over $350 million in penalties for business fraud and banned him from running companies in the state for three years. Ravi explains where the case went wrong, from New York Attorney General Tish James’s motives in bringing the case to issues with the judgment itself. Is the end of the Hunter Biden scandal near? Ravi takes a closer look at the recent arrest of the FBI informant who sparked the Biden impeachment probe and the related bribery allegations against the President’s son. The now-ex-informant faces accusations of lying to the FBI and having ties to Russia. In education news, Yale has reversed its decision to make standardized tests optional for college admissions. Will more colleges follow suit? Ravi then turns to high school admissions and unpacks the Supreme Court’s recent decision to reject an affirmative action case regarding a renowned Northern Virginia magnet school, effectively allowing the school’s current admissions policy to stand.
