Episode 49: Mike Allen

One of the most connected journalists in politics, Mike Allen has authored one of the must-read morning political tip sheets in Washington for over a decade, first at Politico and now at Axios, a publication he co-founded just over a year ago.

In the latest episode of The Jamie Weinstein Show, Allen discusses how covering President Trump is different than covering the other presidents he’s covered, what he makes of the Russia investigation, what he sees happening in 2020, and much more.
