Summary
Today, we look at Donald Trump avoiding jail, and any punishment, over charges of fraud relating to hush money paid to adult-film star Stormy Daniels.
Adam is joined by Caitriona Perry, the BBC’s chief presenter in Washington, and Gary O’Donoghue, the BBC’s senior North America correspondent.

| 0:04.7 | Hello, I wish I'd known that I was stirring the Hornets Nest when I said, |
| 0:08.5 | oh, when do you stop saying Happy New Year? |
| 0:11.1 | Because people have had very, very strong thoughts on it, |

| 0:15.2 | Here is an email from Claire Farr, from Oslo. |
| 0:18.1 | I thought you might be interested in the Norwegian rules of what and when |
| 0:21.7 | to say different greetings over the Christmas and New Year's period, says Claire. From the first |
| 0:26.1 | Sunday in Advent, you say, happy before Christmas. From about the 23rd to 25th of December, you say, |

| 1:05.9 | living in Norway, I'm not sure I'd be completely convinced what to do on the fifth or the sixth |
| 1:09.8 | or thereabouts. But thank you anyway. |
| 1:12.0 | Adam Fernandez emails, another Adam. |
| 1:14.4 | I was listening to the January 9th edition of your podcast. |
