Description

The Supreme Court has agreed to weigh the constitutionality of President Trump’s immigration travel ban in a case that pits executive power in the name of national security against a policy some say was just a smokescreen for religious discrimination. Senior immigration reporter Allissa Wickham stops by to talk through the arguments on both sides and what will happen during this summer of limbo with a partial ban. We’ll also talk about the start of the long-awaited fraud trial of Martin Shkreli, the infamous “pharma bro” known for for jacking up the price of a crucial HIV drug by 5000 percent. Spoiler alert: potential jurors didn’t like him much. And we’ll check in on Gawker’s war with Silicon Valley titan Peter Thiel who funded the Hulk Hogan lawsuit that ultimately shuttered the company.
