Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:
Trump’s Consequential Week In Court And Ukraine Aid Hangs in the Balance:
A New York judge has set March 25th as the start date in Donald Trump’s hush money case, making it the first criminal trial against a former American president in U.S. history. A hearing that could derail Trump’s Georgia election interference case is also underway, as a judge considers whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be removed from the case.
Meanwhile, the annual Munich Security Conference kicks off Friday as U.S. aid for Ukraine continues to stall amid chaos in Congress, and just days after President Biden criticized Trump's comments about encouraging Russia to attack NATO allies.
