Sen. Menendez' Trial Wraps Up; Amtrak's Northeast Corridor Woes; Pres. Biden & the NATO Summit; 2024's Last 'Manhattanhenge'

On today's show:

• Nancy Solomon, WNYC reporter and host of the “Ask Governor Murphy” monthly call-in show, reports on New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez's bribery trial, where closing arguments have wrapped up and the jury is deliberating.

• A critical electrical system that powers Amtrak trains on the Northeast Corridor is failing, and passengers are paying the price. Nolan Hicks, who covers city agencies, politics and transit, and now contributes to New York Magazine, explains what's gone wrong and why these problems have persisted.

• Thursday was the last day of the NATO summit in Washington, celebrating the 75th anniversary of the North Atlantic alliance. Fred Kaplan, Slate's War Stories columnist and the author of many books, including The Bomb: Presidents, Generals, and the Secret History of Nuclear War (Simon & Schuster, 2020), recaps the event, including a breakdown of President Joe Biden's press conference and what the 2024 election might mean for the future of the alliance.

• There's one final chance to see the sun and street grid align as "Manhattanhenge" occurs one last time until next year. Astrophysicist Jackie Faherty, a senior research scientist and senior education manager at the American Museum of Natural History, explains the science behind it, the party the museum is throwing to celebrate, and what other astronomical wonders to keep an eye out for this summer.
