$35,000 of cash in a paper bag. A target letter to the Lieutenant Governor. Deleted House emails. And a Legislature that killed reform bills while cameras were off.

Former federal defender Alexander Silvert returns to Talk Story with Keliʻi Akina with an insider’s update on the corruption case shaking Hawaii politics.

From the FBI wire that started it all to the petition lawmakers buried, Silvert names the key players, exposes what really happened during “recess,” and explains why this is more than one bad apple — it’s a test of whether Hawaii’s government can police itself.

If you want to know who knew what, who hid what, and who’s next, you can’t miss this.
