On the first day of Donald Trump's first criminal trial, Jen Psaki explains why the case is both extraordinary and ordinary: extraordinary in its unprecedented nature and circus-like atmosphere, but also ordinary in how it demonstrates a functioning justice system. Former US Attorney for SDNY Preet Bharara joins Jen to unpack the details of the case, from the admissibility of the evidence, to the gag order and jury selection. Next, Norm Eisen joins Jen to break down the narrative arc that prosecutors must outline to jurors. Later, Rep. Dan Goldman joins the show to discuss the case and set the stakes for what may be the only Trump trial before the presidential election. Finally, former Executive Editor for The National Enquirer Lachlan Cartwright joins Jen to outline the news outlet's 'catch and kill scheme' that served to protect, and benefit Donald Trump in the leadup to the 2016 election - and how it connects to the hush money trial.
