Zoe Kagan: I'm here today to announce the appointment of a special counsel in connection with two ongoing criminal investigations that have received significant public attention. The first was into whether Trump not only took classified material and other government records that he was not supposed to take from the White House when his term ended, but then held on to them. And where does that case stand now? We know grand jury proceedings are secret, so there's only so much that we know about the timeline.
There’s been a ton of news coverage and commentary around Donald Trump’s indictment in New York on Thursday. But the Manhattan case is only one of several criminal investigations and civil cases swirling around the former president—from the US Justice Department’s inquiry into the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol and the investigation of Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia, to probes of Trump’s business practices.
Bloomberg legal reporters Zoe Tillman and Erik Larson join this episode to look beyond the Manhattan indictment and assess Trump’s other legal entanglements, and where things go from here.
