In this episode, we continue our series: Fifteen Minutes of Feminism— The Trump Indictments: Found Guilty! (with Moira Donegan).

This week, we’re rejoined by Moira Donegan to discuss why the New York trial was about more than about “hush money” and how the case marks the first time a former president has stood trial for criminal prosecution and been convicted.
