Sam Bankman Fried is set to go on trial in October and could face up to 115 years if convicted. He's currently out on $250 million bail, which is a lot. His co-founder Gary Wang and Alameda research CEO Carolyn Ellison are both cooperating with prosecutors. We'll talk about the mess in Congress, what it means for legislation; we'll hear from a listener about media bias.
CNN's Audie Cornish joins Kara as guest co-host with plenty to cover: the Republican disarray in the Speaker of the House vote, the E.U. fining Meta for privacy violations, and Twitter allowing political advertising back on the platform. Also, Donald Trump could get his Facebook account back, and Elon Musk’s year is off to a rough start. Plus, SBF’s former allies are cooperating, and tech layoffs continue.
You can find Audie on Twitter at @AudieCornish, and can listen to her podcast “The Assignment with Audie Cornish” wherever you listen to podcasts.
