Hey there, listeners. Just a reminder before we begin today, we have a live show coming up in New York City on April 19th.

It's going to be at 730 at the Bellhouse in Brooklyn.

And the place to get your tickets is 538.com slash live show.

We've got a little less than a month until the show and we're already two thirds sold out.

So if you've been waiting to get your tickets, now is the time to go get them because I don't know.

I think we probably will sell out and we don't want you to miss out.

So that's 538.com slash live show where you can get your tickets now.

Hello and welcome to the 538 Politics podcast. I'm Galen Drewke.

All eyes have been on the Manhattan District Attorney's Office this week to see if Donald Trump

will become the first former American president to be indicted.

As we record on Thursday morning, it appears unlikely that any indictment will come this week.

And the reality is that even if the grand jury were to indict, the charges wouldn't be unsealed until the defendant appears in court.

So we're going to take this opportunity to talk about what we do and don't know about Trump's legal jeopardy

and the possible political impact.

The investigation of an alleged hush money payment to Stormy Daniels is one of at least four ongoing investigations that touch the former president.

There are also ongoing investigations in Fulton County, Georgia over attempts to meddle with the results of the 2020 election.

And the Department of Justice is investigating both the treatment of classified documents

and the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

In fact, the case in New York that has been the focus of so much attention this week may well be the least serious

and even the weakest case against Trump.

So here with me to talk about the details and implications of all of this are senior politics reporter Amelia Thompson-Devo.

Welcome to the podcast.
