Ep. 57: Paul Manafort And The Obscure Law That Snagged Him

Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election made headlines a few times this week, so we’re devoting the entire show to breaking it all down. Michael Macagnone, senior Washington DC reporter, joins us to explain the obscure lobbying law that ensnared former Trump campaign director Paul Manafort — and how it’s keeping K Street and BigLaw up at night. We also talk about new accusations that Manfort engaged in witness tampering, as well as President Trump’s claim that he can pardon himself.
