This Week in Trump World: 'Rough and Getting Rougher'
Andrea Bernstein, senior editor for politics and policy and host of the Trump Inc. podcast at WNYC, and Adam Davidson, New Yorker staff writer, author of the magazine's "Swamp Chronicles" column and co-creator of NPR's Planet Money, talk about the Cohen tapes and look ahead to the Manafort trial that is scheduled to start next week.
@adamdavidson says part of what we learned this week is that Trump business people + campaign people were moving back + forth between the business + the campaign + there really is no line for Mueller to not cross. This was one large operation.
