W. Norton & Company, 2020), reports on the latest news from Trump's so-called "hush money" trial, where Hope Hicks and Stormy Daniels have testified, and the judge threatened to jail the former president as he held him in contempt of court again.

• A. J. Jacobs, NPR contributor, essayist, and the author of The Year of Living Biblically, The Know-It-All, It's All Relative and his latest, The Year of Living Constitutionally: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Constitution's Original Meaning (Crown, 2024), offers his take on "originalism" by living like a "founding father"—tricorn hat and all.
