Investigations into Donald Trump intensify

Amanpour

About this episode

This week has seen an escalation in several of the investigations into Donald Trump and his businesses. We know the FBI seized 11 sets of classified material during their Mar-a-Lago search, but we don’t know the evidence used by the Justice Department to get the warrant required. That could soon start to change.  A judge is starting the process to potentially release some of that info as early as next week. Meantime, one of the former president’s most trusted executives Allen Weisselberg has pleaded guilty to helping the Trump Organization engage in a 15-year-long tax fraud scheme. To digest all this, Sara speaks with former FBI special agent Asha Rangappa.  Also on today's show: Two friends of Salman Rushdie, PEN America CEO Suzanne Nossel and novelist Hari Kunzru, discuss last week's attack on the renowned author; author Nahid Shahalimi on her new book We Are Still Here, discusses why Afghan women should be involved in setting policy for their country.
