Hi, it's Allison Michaels. When we started Can He Do That? We were in this unprecedented moment exploring that question as former President Donald Trump pushed on the limits of presidential power. Now his unprecedented legal challenges raise all sorts of new questions. So that's what you're going to hear explored right here on this very feed in a new show called Trump Trials Sidebar from some of my other colleagues at The Washington Post. You can watch these conversations each week on YouTube by searching the name of the show. All right, here's what they have cooking up for you. Because remember, the Stormy Daniels story and when this actually occurred was well before he ran for president.

There's so much happening in these legal cases that Donald Trump is facing, it can be hard to keep track of it all. If it was you or me or JM, you know, not complying with the gag order, we would face... possibly jail time. From indictments, court filings, and attorney motions to jury selection and courtroom trials, we'll be here every step of the way. It is really hard to imagine the Supreme Court ultimately deciding that Trump has immunity to commit crimes as president. I'm Libby Casey with The Washington Post, and I'll be with you each week alongside Rhonda Colvin, James Holman, and guests from around our newsroom. The pings from the cell phone data show that he didn't leave that area until maybe 4 a.m. The area, though. They can't pinpoint it to your house. It's that area. It's that area. It can't be exact. At 4 a.m. We'll break down the most important and consequential moments as Donald Trump defends himself.

really has dragged its heels here. But don't they know we're going to be busy in the late summer with a thing called the 2024 election? It's really hard to put ourselves in the justices' heads. Please try. I have been trying. I actually have been thinking about it. He faces charges in New York, Florida, Georgia, and Washington. The Trump Trials Sidebar from The Washington Post premieres Monday, April 15th.
