Podcast: American Corruption

The New Statesman’s World Review podcast with Jeremy Cliffe and Emily Tamkin.  

By NS Podcasts

WASHINGTON, DC - NOVEMBER 13: A Congressional staff member speaks on the phone beside a lectern that states "United States Senate" on November 13, 2019 in Washington, DC. In the first public impeachment hearings in more than two decades, House Democrats are trying to build a case that President Donald Trump committed extortion, bribery or coercion by trying to enlist Ukraine to investigate his political rival in exchange for military aide and a White House meeting that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky sought with Trump.

On this week’s episode of World Review from the New Statesman, Jeremy Cliffe in Berlin and Emily Tamkin in Washington, DC are joined, also from Washington, by Sarah Chayes, author of On Corruption in America: And What is at Stake to discuss how the modern US fits into a history of corruption and populism. Then, in You Ask Us, they take your questions on Alexei Navalny and how anti-corruption leaders are at risk around the world.
