Jon Stewart weighs in on the media's overblown coverage of Trump's criminal trial, from sketch-artist interviews to following his motorcade via helicopter, and how the airtime contradicts their stated goal to give him less airtime. Plus, Daily Show alum Jessica Williams surprises us with some joyful benefits of following the Trump trial story. "There is a fight about free expression in America too, at the moment and I feel like I'm in that fight, I have a dog in that fight." Esteemed author, Salman Rushdie speaks with Jon Stewart about his memoir, "Knife," recounting his brush with death along with the subsequent journey of healing and the fight for free expression currently happening in the United States from the ongoing protests on college campuses to critiques of Taylor Swift's music.
