While reporting on Harvey Weinstein and the #MeToo movement, Farrow unearthed details of the National Enquirer's plan to pay for damaging stories about Trump and then bury those stories — a practice known as "catch and kill." The connection between that practice and the 2016 election gave prosecutors a felony case against the former president.

  • I'm Dave Davies.

  • Since the verdict in Donald Trump's trial in Manhattan was announced, there's been much discussion of its impact on the election, whether the conviction might be overturned on appeal and other issues.

  • Theres another element to the story thats gotten less attention, the role that the me too movement and journalists reporting on the efforts to hide Trumps alleged sexual encounters played in generating the criminal case against him.

  • Our guest is Ronan Farrow, whose reporting on the abuses of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein earned a Pulitzer Prize.

  • Farrow was also one of several reporters who unearthed details of the so called Catch and Kill program, in which owners of the National Enquirer paid sources with potentially damaging information about Trump for the exclusive rights to their stories, then buried them to protect the then presidential candidate.

  • The criminal case against Trump grew out of the argument that if the payments to kill the stories were made to influence the election, they could violate campaign finance laws.

  • Farrow followed the Trump trial closely, and he joins us now to reflect on the meaning of the events.

  • Ronan Farrow is a contributing writer for the New Yorker and author of the book Catch and Kill, as well as a podcast series and HBO docuseries, also called Catch and Kill.

  • Hes currently producing documentaries for HBO.

  • His film endangered focuses on the threats journalists face in the United States and across the world.

  • Well, Ronan Farrow, welcome back to Fresh Air.

  • Its a pleasure to be back.
