Ep. 57: Paul Manafort And The Obscure Law That Snagged Him
Robert Mueller\u2019s investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election made headlines a few times this week, so we\u2019re devoting the entire show to breaking it all down. Michael Macagnone, senior Washington DC reporter, joins us to explain the obscure lobbying law that ensnared former Trump campaign director Paul Manafort \u2014 and how it\u2019s keeping K Street and BigLaw up at night. We also talk about new accusations that Manfort engaged in witness tampering, as well as President Trump\u2019s claim that he can pardon himself.
