    Trump's Trials: 'The boss is not going to leave'

    Trump's Trials: 'The boss is not going to leave'
    Today we're sharing an episode of a new NPR podcast called Trump's Trials, hosted by Scott Detrow with regular analysis from Domenico Montanaro. Each week they'll break down the latest courtroom drama, testimony, and legal maneuverings in the criminal and civil cases facing former President Trump — and talk about what it all means for American democracy.

    In this week's episode, Scott and Domenico spoke with NYU's Melissa Murray about leaked confidential videos of two former Trump lawyers — and what they could mean for the Georgia election interference case. Plus: a development in the January 6th case.

    Follow Trump's Trials on Apple Podcasts or Spotify for episodes available every Saturday.

    Could a 'treason clause' kick Trump off the ballot?

    Could a 'treason clause' kick Trump off the ballot?

    The 14th Amendment is not something anyone has discussed much since the 1800s.

    But right now it's the talk of the town.

    It includes a post-civil war clause that bars anyone from holding public office if they've engaged in an insurrection or rebellion.

    Right now, there are lawyers, academics and die-hard constitutionalists who are working out if there's a legal channel to remove Trump's name from any electoral ballot on the grounds he tried to overturn democracy on January 6th 2020. We speak to a Watergate special prosecutor about what could happen. And we look at the Republican move to launch an impeachment enquiry into Joe Biden. Do they have evidence of wrong doing?

    Young Voters, Young Politicians

    Young Voters, Young Politicians
    Turnout among voters under 30 has been high in recent elections, but there are still major impediments — both systemic issues and cultural ones — that keep younger people from casting ballots. And there are similar roadblocks when those folks want to run for office, especially when it comes to funding their campaigns.

    This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, political correspondent Ashley Lopez, and political reporter Elena Moore.

    The podcast is produced by Elena Moore and Casey Morell. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
