Prosecutors often have to put a cooperating witness’s past behavior into a context that doesn’t undermine their case. They refer to it as inoculating the jury or, sometimes, airing out the dirty laundry. w Jonah Bromwich Maggie Haberman nytimes.com/2024/05/02/nyr…

not so much... to 'plunge' would require pre-existing altitude

tbh this is very relatable. a classic Betsy Woodruff Swan move.

Trump is holding a fundraiser in mid May in NYC amid being in NYC for his trial, with hosts including Lutnick, Witkoff and the Kushners

“Mr. Trump, who often complains about legal fees and sometimes refuses to pay them, has also wondered aloud why his lawyers cost so much, according to the people, who all spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive topic.” — Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan…

There are perennials with Trump; frustrations with his lawyers is among the foremost. But the question of how much leeway he’ll grant his lawyers has never been more consequential as he’s on trial facing prison time Jonathan Swan me nytimes.com/2024/04/30/us/…

New: Although Todd Blanche has been Trump’s favorite lawyer for some time, behind closed doors and in phone calls, the former president has complained repeatedly about him in recent weeks. w Maggie Haberman -- nytimes.com/2024/04/30/us/…

. Jim VandeHei founded the two most successful digital media start ups of the modern era - Politico and Axios. IMO, there is no digital media entrepreneur who rivals what he has accomplished. He's out with a new book about his life and work: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/739608/j…

I'm so proud of my wife for going public w/ something we've been private about—our precious son, Abraham, and the systemic inequalities that keep profoundly autistic people like him living in the shadows of society.

Here is a July 2023 NYT article in which Trump adviser Russ Vought talks on the record about his overseeing the development of various plans to increase presidential power if Trump wins the election, including by undercutting the independence of the Fed. nytimes.com/2023/07/17/us/…

Very grateful my Strudwick wound up with us and not with Kristi Noem

So thrilled to hear that “New Cold Wars” was an instant NYT bestseller on its first week. Grateful to all who made that possible, from the fabulous team that helped me and Mary Brooks report and write the book, to the many who we discussed it with this week, on TV, blogs, news…

Fwiw, I have spoken to AG over the past year about this topic & this caricature is unrecognizable. I never usually comment on media stories but this irritated me bc it's such a bs mischaracterization of his views about the importance of serious longform presidential interviews.
