Summary
Donald Trump's longtime Chief Financial Officer, Allen Weisselberg - already a convicted felon for engaging in fraud at the Trump Organization - reportedly is in negotiations with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to plead guilty to perjury for lying when he testified at Trump's New York fraud trial.
This new legal development likely factors into two other legal developments: Judge Engoron delaying his verdict in Trump's New York fraud trial and Judge Tanya Chutkan postponing Trump's federal case in DC for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential elections. Glenn discusses the intersection of these three legal developments and what that intersection tells us about which of Trump's criminal cases is now most likely to go to trial first.

| 0:29.0 | yes, all involving Donald Trump. |
| 0:32.8 | And we're going to talk about how the three stories intersect and what we can glean |
| 0:37.8 | from that intersection. |
