US: Donald Trump lands in New York to face charges

From Nine To Noon, 9:46 am on 4 April 2023

US correspondent Ron Elving joins Kathryn to talk about former President Trump's trip to New York for his expected court appearance tomorrow.

It's led to much speculation about how this indictment will affect other pending indictments - and how it'll affect his shot at getting the Republican nomination.

Meanwhile there's been no progress in budget talks or debt ceiling talks.

Ron Elving is Senior Editor and Correspondent on the Washington Desk for NPR News.
