It's easy to disappear into your own bubble when you're out and about,

whether you're lost in your thoughts or lost in nature.

The last thing on your mind is the danger of trains at level crossings.

Beware the bubble, stay aware, take care and help us keep you safe at level crossings.

How much legal trouble is Donald J. Trump really in or the walls closing in?

Or are we about to find out that some people are in fact above the law?

Welcome to the Bullwork Podcast, I'm Charlie Sykes.

This is a new episode of our new companion podcast, The Trump Trials,

that we feature every Thursday.

We know all the headlines of the federal and state prosecutors may or may not be closing in on the former president,

the civil lawsuits, the discovery, the protective orders, the indictments.

We thought we would take a deeper look and try to separate the substance from the hype.

So every week, we'll bring up to speed on the major legal issues surrounding the former president and key Trump world players,

the sedition trials in DC, the New York indictment, the Jack Smith probes of January 6th,

and the Mar-a-Lago documents, the election probes in Georgia,

and the follow-up from the E. Jean Carroll trial,

and joining us this week, Ben Wittis, Editor-in-Chief at Law Fair,

Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution,

and Quintet Jurassic, a senior editor at Law Fair, also a fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution.

Ben, Quintet, thanks for coming back on the podcast.

Thanks for having us.
