It's not every week that a former president shows up in a federal courtroom to answer to felony charges. It's been that kind of a week, and fortunately, NPR has people to cover that.
Reporters in our neck of the woods also had some big stories to work on this week, including another court case: the big verdict against Pacific Power in the September 2020 fires.
Ryan Haas of Oregon Public Broadcasting covered that trial; he's part of the mix of reporters on this week's edition of The Debrief. Also, JPR's Jane Vaughan shares her reporting on the financial situation at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and tells us how she got the story.
