Hi there, I'm Lale Arikoglu, and this podcast is brought to you by Wilderness, a conservation-driven

hospitality company that offers intimate world life encounters in extraordinary remote landscapes.

Last year, I embarked on two separate solo adventures with Wilderness, one to Botswana and the other

to Namibia, where the expert guides delivered a truly once-in-a-lifetime

experience. I promise you, whatever you watch and see before you go won't prepare you for the thrill

of a wilderness adventure. eBay, it's a place to fall in love with new pre-loved vintage and rare

fashion over and over again.

Your favorite designers, expertly authenticated.

Yeah, eBay. Things people love.

This is the political scene, a weekly conversation with New Yorker writers and editors about politics. It's Thursday, May 3rd.

I'm Dorothy Wickenden, executive editor of the New Yorker. President Trump's legal difficulties

became all the more clear this week. On Monday, a list of potential questions for an interview

between special counsel Robert Mueller and Trump was leaked to the press.

Rod Rosenstein, the only person with the power to fire Mueller. The president echoed their attacks,

describing his own Justice Department as a rigged system, and threatening to, as he put it,

use the powers granted to the presidency and get involved. In an interview on Tuesday, Rosenstein

issued a sharp rebuke to his critics. I can tell you, there have been people who have been

making threats privately and publicly against me for quite some time.

We're going to do what's required.
