Krugman Reflects on NYT Tenure, Trump's Fading Legal Woes | New York Times Close Up with Sam Roberts

This week, host Sam Roberts welcomes Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman. They discuss Krugman's departure from The New York Times after 25 years as a columnist, past and present economic conditions, political concerns about Trump's incoming administration, and Krugman's views on finding hope during this extended period of resentment. Then, Sam welcomes NYT criminal justice reporter Alan Feuer, who provides a detailed analysis of Donald Trump's legal challenges, including a significant setback in the Georgia prosecution with the disqualification of prosecutor Fani Willis, and the status of federal charges that are effectively halted due to Trump's electoral victory.
