Show notes

A New York jury has found former U.S. president Donald Trump guilty of 34 charges of falsifying business records to conceal payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels. This makes Trump the first American president to be found guilty of a felony. Just six months out from election day, voters are left with an unprecedented scenario in which a convicted felon could become the next President of the United States. Perry Stein is a justice reporter for the Washington Post, where she is also the co-author of the Trump Trials newsletter. She's here to talk about the conviction and what comes next for Trump and America. Help us make Front Burner even better by filling out this audience survey.
