Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:

Trump Makes History…Again: 

For the first time in American history, a former president has been found guilty on criminal charges, after the jury in Donald Trump’s historic hush money trial found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records. Trump, a convicted felon and the likely Republican Presidential nominee, is expected to appeal the decision. 

But the outcome of the high-profile case will play out on the campaign trail and both leading candidates are gearing up to take their post-trial messages to voters. 

Joining editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg to discuss this and more:

  • Peter Baker, Chief White House Correspondent, The New York Times
  • Asma Khalid, White House Correspondent, NPR and Political Contributor, ABC News
  • Ashley Parker, Senior National Political Correspondent, The Washington Post

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, the Yuen Foundation, Sandra and Carl DeLay-Magnuson, Rose Hirschel and Andy Shreeves, Robert and Susan Rosenbaum, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and PBS.
