Your Guide to The People v. Trump
As the first week of the first criminal trial of a former President in U.S. history wraps up, we prepare for our special coverage of People v. Trump by stepping back to remember how we got here. Why is\xa0Donald Trump being prosecuted for paying off Stormy Daniels, anyway? Who are all of these people? How good is the prosecution\u2019s case, really? And what can we expect from the defense?\xa0
We also answer a few patron questions about the trial, after which subscribers will enjoy a dramatic rendition of the best bit of this week\u2019s gag order violation hearing: Trump attorney Todd Blanche\u2019s struggle to convince the court that his client\u2019s retweets are not, as a matter of law, endorsements.\xa0
