About this episode
This week, Scott Detrow and NPR political editor/correspondent Domenico Montanaro discuss leaked confidential videos of two former Trump lawyers and what those videos could mean for the Georgia election interference case. Plus a new development in the January 6 case.

Their guest is NYU's Melissa Murray. Topics include:

-The potential consequences of leaked videos in court — and the court of public opinion
-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell admitting she 'didn't know much' about election fraud.
-Why it matters that a judge rejected an attempt by Trump lawyers to limit mentions of January 6 violence in the election interference trial
-The prospect of additional guilty pleas in the Georgia election interference case
