Joe Biden drops the hammer on Israel, Marjorie Taylor Green tries and fails to drop the hammer on the Speaker of the House,

and in New York a very strange trial of an ex-president.

Thank you. Once again from Washington, editor-in-chief of the

Atlantic and moderator Jeffrey Goldberg. Good evening and welcome to Washington week. An ex and possibly future president on

trial on a porn star hush money case, a governor who shot her dog, a presidential candidate claiming that a worm ate part of his brain and a

These are tonight's Jeopardy categories.

Join me in welcoming our contestants.
