The strange saga of “Putin’s chef”

Description:

Yochi, Jenn, and Zack discuss special counsel Robert Mueller’s indictments of 13 Russians accused of meddling in the 2016 elections, including a billionaire with extraordinarily close ties to Vladimir Putin. On Elsewhere, they talk about the corruption scandals that may soon bring down Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu -- one of the most powerful leaders in the Middle East -- and remake the political landscape of the entire region. Yochi puts his Hebrew skills to good use, Zack busts out his best Russian accent, and Jenn laments that she’s never received a gift from Mariah Carey’s ex-husband.
