Court filings by prosecutors last week shined a light on the business lives of two men who worked get Donald Trump elected president: former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.


Trump, Inc co-hosts Ilya Marritz and Andrea Bernstein talk with Franklin Foer of The Atlantic about what the documents show -- and the further questions they raise.


Among those questions:
- What exactly was Manafort’s connection to a business partner who some in the intelligence committee believe to be a Russian intelligence asset?


- Why did Russian officials approach the Trump campaign about potential “political synergy”?


- How much did Trump know about Cohen’s coordination of hush money payments to two women who alleged they had affairs with the now-president?
