About this episode

Trump’s lawyer is forced to concede that a president could be prosecuted, if first convicted by the Senate, and that there is no absolute presidential immunity covering all circumstances.

Plus, Trump turns his ire on Nikki Haley as she builds momentum in the 2024 race, cutting the former president’s New Hampshire lead to single digits. And, Boeing CEO David Calhoun publicly speaks out, acknowledging what he calls “our mistake” after United and Alaska airlines say technicians have found loose hardware on some of their 737 Max 9 jets.
