Paul has been the political analyst for WGN-TV since 2008, appearing on all its # 1 rated newscasts discussing political and legal issues of the day. He is the host of WGN-TV Political Report seen every Sunday morning at 9am, on which he interviews the leading political figures in the city, state and country. Paul has interviewed presidents, governors, senators, congressmen, local representatives and mayors too numerous to count over the last 38 years.
