Keep up with all of the news and great analysis as I am. We'll stranded on a French highway at

mpr.org on the mpr1 app and by listening to your local mpr station. All right. Here's the show.

Oh man, I hope you got out of that situation. That's impressive. Hey there. It's the NPR politics podcast here to talk about some very

confusing audio recordings of President Trump and a poll by NPR that looks at how Americans reacted to Trump's big summit with

Russian President Vladimir Putin. I'm Sarah McCammon. I'm covering the White House. I'm a Shorasco. I also cover the White House. I'm

Dominican Montenarro political editor and I write. Look as I cover the Justice Department. Okay guys, so this tape popped the other night. An

audio recording of Trump sent to CNN by his former lawyer Michael Cohen's legal team. We knew it was out there for a while,

Cohen shows up. He's taping this conversation. Trump does not know that it's being taped as for who David is. David could be David Pecker, who is with American media ink, which is the parent company of the

tabloid, the national inquire. This is the company that bought the rights to the story of Karen McDougal, who is the Playboy Playmate, who alleges that she had an affair with Trump around 10 years ago. Alan Weiselberg, that is the chief financial officer of the Trump
