Sarah Churchwell and Joseph Downing are this week’s guests as Josh Lowe and Mirren Gidda tackle the thorny issue of privacy within politics. All week, the U.S. has talked of little but Hillary Clinton's health, after a bout of pneumonia led Donald Trump to demand that the Democratic presidential nominee release her medical records. Meanwhile, the clamor for Trump to put out his tax return is growing. It led us to ask: where is the boundary between public and private? Clearly, politicians have to disclose more than the average member of the public, but what, and when, is it reasonable to ask for? Do the benefits of such an approach outweigh the downsides? Sarah Churchwell is a professorial fellow in American literature at the School of Advanced Study at the University of London, and Joseph Downing is a fellow in European politics at the LSE. Newsweek's Foreign Service is recorded and edited by Jordan Saville.
