Friday Focus: Trump Found Guilty
This week’s Friday Focus podcast tackles what virtually everyone is talking about at the moment: Former U.S. president Donald Trump’s conviction for election interference after deliberately concealing hush-money payments on the eve of the 2016 vote. Was this a fair judicial process or a politicized show trial? Rudyard Griffiths and Janice Stein discuss that, and what the trial means for perceptions of the U.S. justice system going forward.
