Preet Bharara:            Hey listeners. So it’s currently 1:30 P.M. in LA. It’s raining. And I’m here for my live show with Kumail Nanjian tonight. And I woke up this morning, there’s major news as all of you. Michael Cohen, former personal lawyer to Donald Trump has pled guilty a second time. This time it’s in Mueller’s Russia investigation. So essentially, Cohen admitted that he lied to Congress about aspects of negotiations over a Trump Tower project in Moscow. He initially said that the Trump Tower project was done and finished and dead by January of 2016, which was the election year. And as he made clear in his police statements today, those negotiations continued until at least June of 2016, deep into the primary season. And when it was clear that Donald Trump was the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party. So we have a lot to talk about. I’m joined by Anne Milgram, who’s in New York, and is here to help us make sense of all of this. Anne, how are you?

Anne Milgram:             I’m good. How you doing?

Preet Bharara:              It’s raining here. Is it dry there?

Anne Milgram:             It’s cold here. I’m sitting in your chair. It feels very strange.
