  • Trump was found guilty on all counts. What comes next?

    Trump was found guilty on all counts. What comes next?
    May 31 2024
    After a trial that lasted 21 days and a deliberation that took less than ten hours, a Manhattan jury found former President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 criminal felony counts of falsifying business records.

    Trump says he will appeal the charges, but there are still implications for him, and his ongoing presidential campaign for the 2024 election.

    So what grounds does Trump have to appeal these charges? And how long could it take to play out? Attorney and NYU law proffesor Andrew Weissmann joins Ari Shapiro to map out what the next phase of the Trump trial will look like.

  • In a historic verdict, Trump found guilty on 34 felony counts in "hush money" trial

    In a historic verdict, Trump found guilty on 34 felony counts in "hush money" trial
    May 30 2024
    After 10 hours of deliberation, in a historic verdict, a jury of 12 New Yorkers reached a verdict in the criminal hush money trial of former President Donald Trump.

    Trump has been found guilty on all 34 counts of felony falsification of business records to cover up a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels in the closing days of the 2016 presidential election.

    Trump says this is "a rigged disgraceful trial," while the Biden campaign said this verdict shows that "no one is above the law," but that former President Donald Trump still poses a "threat ... to our democracy."

    NPR's Scott Detrow and Juana Summers, along with NPR political correspondents, unpack the guilty verdict and what it means ahead of the election in November.

  • How these newly included MLB stats recognize the legacies of Black players

    How these newly included MLB stats recognize the legacies of Black players
    May 29 2024
    When Jackie Robinson signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, it heralded an end to racial segregation in professional baseball.

    And even though Major League Baseball teams were integrated, official recordkeepers refused to acknowledge stats from the Negro Leagues – where Black players were relegated to for decades.

    Author and historian Larry Lester is one of the people who has fought to change that for years.

    He's spent over 50 years compiling statistics from the Negro Leagues. Now, that effort is getting recognition from the MLB, and Lester spoke to Ari Shapiro on the battle for inclusion.

    Statistics from the Negro Leagues have now been incorporated into the MLB's records – and it's reshaping the history of baseball.

    For generations, Black baseball players' contributions to the sport have been ignored. Now, their legacies are being recognized.
