| 0:00.0 | Hello, good friends. Welcome back to the Bill Press Pod, and on this Friday, last day of March, |
| 0:12.7 | welcome to this week's Roundtable. Let me start out by sending you greetings from Rome, Italy, |
| 0:19.5 | where I'm on a study program with the American Academy in Rome. |
| 0:23.4 | And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like waking up in Rome to news that your former |
| 0:29.6 | president has been indicted by a New York grand jury. It was clearly the shot heard around the world, and it's going to dominate the news today and for months to come with so many questions like how much legal jeopardy is Donald Trump really in with what possible consequences. |
| 0:49.4 | What actually happens to him next? What's going to happen next Tuesday? What impact will all of this |

| 1:33.7 | Linda Feldman, Washington Bureau Chief and White House correspondent for Christian Science Monitor. |
| 1:39.2 | Hi, Linda. |
| 1:40.4 | Hi, Bill. |
| 1:41.4 | Kirk Beato, editor of the National Journal Hotline and co-host of the National Journal Radio Podcast. |
| 1:48.4 | Hi, Kirk. |
| 1:49.9 | More, Bill. |
| 1:50.3 | Thanks for having me. |
| 1:51.1 | And John Bennett, editor-at-large, CQ roll call and writer for the CQ afternoon briefing. |
