RSRecommends lets our writers and editors gush about their favorite new things. Now up is 'The Asset,' a podcast that brilliantly breaks down the Trump-Russia connection
. After the first episode, which gives a rough overview of the story so far, he rewinds to the early days of the Trump empire, exploring the future president’s shady business dealings and eventual bankruptcies, showing how without his fathers vast fortune, he would have been a relic of the early 1990s From there, Bergman goes into Vladmir Putin’s past as a KGB spy, and how he parlayed that into a two-decade term as the head of Russia.
There’s oligarchs! There’s honeypots! There’s multiple references to the pee tape! But mostly, there’s a sound and sober tale of how a greedy outer-borough businessman became — witting or unwitting — an asset to a foreign power, and how he rode a wave of questionable international support to the top of the American government.
