  • Tick-Tock, TikTok: What Makes It A National Security Threat

    Tick-Tock, TikTok: What Makes It A National Security Threat
    Apr 29 2024
    After a series of classified national security briefings, Congress passed a law that will ban TikTok if it is not sold by its Chinese parent company. It is not clear what specific risks they're reacting to, but experts point to a widespread, if ineffectual, state-backed disinformation effort and other data-privacy concerns.

    This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, political correspondent Susan Davis, and disinformation correspondent Shannon Bond.

  • Weekly Roundup: Hush Money, Pocket Money

    Weekly Roundup: Hush Money, Pocket Money
    Apr 26 2024
    The first week of testimony in Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York centered on David Packer, the tabloid mogul who says he helped quash stories in order to benefit the then-candidate's presidential bid. And in a Pennsylvania county where voters expressed concerns about inflation ahead of the 2022 midterms, people say they're still frustrated by high prices but that the economy is not necessarily the top factor in who they'll vote for come November.

    This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, political reporter Ximena Bustillo, White House correspondent Asma Khalid, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.

  • Absolute Immunity?

    Absolute Immunity?
    Apr 25 2024
    Months after Special Counsel Jack Smith first asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on Donald Trump's claim of absolute immunity from criminal prosecution, the Supreme Court finally heard the former president's appeal. At least a few of the conservative justices seemed receptive to Trump's argument. What is unclear is whether the court will act in time to allow the federal cases against the former president to be resolved before the 2024 election.

    This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, and senior political editor and correspondent Ron Elving.
