The Calm Before the Stormy

The Manhattan district attorney’s office started presenting evidence to a grand jury about former President Donald Trump’s role in paying hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016. Journalist Andrea Bernstein, who covers democracy for ProPublica and Trump legal matters for NPR, joins us to discuss the investigation – and whether it will bring criminal charges.

And in headlines: two more Memphis police officers involved in the violent arrest that led to Tyre Nichols’ death were relieved of duty, a suicide bombing at a crowded mosque in Pakistan killed at least 59 people, and former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is seeking a six-month tourist visa to remain in the U.S.
