What Are the Political Stakes of Trump’s First Trial

Monday marked the start of the first-ever criminal trial of a former president. The case — one of potentially four trials facing former President Donald Trump — revolves around alleged hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels to try to conceal damaging information during the 2016 election.

In this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, the crew looks at the political stakes of the case and how they compare to Trump’s other legal liability. They also discuss how Republicans are positioning themselves on Arizona’s unpopular 1864-era abortion ban and debate whether the latest campaign fundraising data actually says anything about the competitiveness of the presidential candidates.
