About this episode

The news came from former President Trump himself: the FBI searched his Mar-a-Lago home, the first time ever that federal agents have searched the residence of a former American leader. It took place under utmost secrecy and there are still many unanswered questions, but what we do know is that the search was related to the handling – or alleged mishandling – of classified documents. To explain the legal implications, former top lawyer at the Justice Department Neal Katyal joins the show. 

Also on today's show: US House Democrat Sharice Davids; Haiti Country Director, World Food Programme Jean-Martin Bauer.
