It was a pivotal week in the New York hush money trial against Donald Trump. Defense attorney Todd Blanche poked holes in former fixer Michael Cohen's testimony about a key 2016 phone call. And the former president was joined by a revolving door of loyal Republicans who helped him subvert the gag order. Stephanie discusses with Radhika Jones, Andrew Weissman, Nancy Giles and Michael Steele.

VCs are selling shares of hot AI companies like Anthropic and xAI to small investors in a wild SPV market
SPVs are generally formed by investors who have direct access to the shares of these startups and then turn around and sell a part of their allocation to external backers, often charging significant fees while retaining some profit share (known as carry). While SVPvs aren’t new – smaller investors have relied on them for years – there’s a growing trend of SPVs successfully getting shares from the biggest names in AI. Rather than giving up the shares because the early investor can’t afford them, they’ll create the SPV, fund it by raising money from others, and, in most cases, charge additional fees.
