The Wall Street Journal

About this episode

Former President Donald Trump is pledging to appeal his conviction on 34 charges of falsifying business records, connected to a hush-money payment to cover up an alleged affair with porn star Stormy Daniels. But that appeal could be months or years away, and the guilty verdict raises questions about the law and what it means for a convicted felon to be running for president. WSJ law reporter James Fanelli explains what happens between now and sentencing, and WSJ political reporter Alex Leary digs into the ramifications for the 2024 presidential race. Danny Lewis hosts.
