As Idaho politicians weighed in on Donald Trump’s conviction Thursday in New York, another trial came to a conclusion as well, Chad Daybell was found guilty of first degree murder and there’s another chapter in the Idaho Transportation Department headquarters story.

It’s Friday, which means it's time for our Reporter Roundtable when Idaho Matters gets you up to date on all the news that made headlines this past week.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
