Hey gang - Happy New Year. In case you missed it, my partner on our legal news podcast, George Conway, made a big announcement before Christmas—he’s decided to run for Congress in New York. This means he won’t be able to come on the pod and explain all the legal news to me each week. BUT THIS SHOW WILL GO ON! There is just too much illegal news to track and dig in on and give you context for...and I want that context too. Going forward, we’re now calling our legal show The Illegal News and we’re lining up some awesome legal experts to help make sense of it all and make us all a little bit smarter. We will be having conversations about justice without all the jargon, giving you insights on the biggest developments and diving in on the legal (and illegal) moves not getting enough attention. With the Department of Justice making a mess and mockery of the legally-required disclosure of the Epstein files, I’ve asked Sam Stein and our friend, Andrew Weissman, to kick off this new era of the show while I’m on break with my family. This episode makes a great companion to Tim’s talk with Julie K. Brown of the Miami Herald—the journalist whose reporting on Epstein has been the best in the business. I’ll be back in the host chair next week. I hope you enjoy this ad-free preview of the first episode of The Illegal News era. You can find this show wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube.
