This week, MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord dive deep into several pending motions, including Jack Smith's pre-trial motion to modify Trump's conditions of release in the Florida documents case, which would effectively impose a gag order, just under a different legal principle. Plus: Trump's push to end the post-trial gag order in New York. And what's at issue in the suppression motion also filed in Florida that Judge Cannon will hear next Tuesday. Last up: a preview of Fischer v. United States, a pending Supreme Court case that could have a trickle-down effect on Trump's DC case.Note: Listeners can send questions to: ProsecutingTrumpQuestions@nbcuni.com

Former President Trump awaits his sentencing in New York, but he wants the gag order lifted in the meantime. Is that typical? Veteran prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord break down that motion, and the mechanics of sentencing in the lead up to July 11th. They also highlight Attorney General Merrick Garland's recent op-ed calling for an end to escalated assaults on our judicial system in the wake of Trump's verdict in Manhattan. Last up, Andrew and Mary scrutinize Judge Cannon's schedule revisions for several motions in Florida documents case, and analyze the significance of Georgia racketeering case being stayed pending appeal.Further reading: Here is Attorney General Merrick Garland's OpEd in the Washington Post that Andrew and Mary spoke about: Opinion- Merrick Garland: Unfounded attacks on the Justice Department must endNote: Listeners can send questions to: ProsecutingTrumpQuestions@nbcuni.com

SERIES 2 EPISODE 188: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The words weren't out of my mouth before they came out of President Biden's mouth. “A former president that is a convicted felon is now seeking the office of the presidency,” he said at a fundraiser 10 minutes from my HIGH SCHOOL. He added that after the 2020 election, “Something snapped in this guy for real, it's literally driving him crazy.” 1) Call Crazy Donald Trump a convicted felon – mission accomplished. 2) Call Convicted Felon Donald Trump literally crazy – now do it on camera. Because now there's MORE evidence it works and it cannot be said too often and it cannot be said by too many different leaders and it needs to be said by the President of the United States loudly and confidently and repeatedly: he's Convicted Felon Donald Trump and he is literally insane. I am not betting the democracy on one poll, it's conducted by a Canadian firm called Leger, but it IS an indicator: one out of three Republicans wishes they had nominated somebody else. Among Republicans under age 35 its nearly HALF. Say it. Keep saying it. ON CAMERA, Mr. President. MEANWHILE: The Wisconsin Fake Electors Scheme draws felony indictments and the whole thing sideswipes Senator Ron Johnson. And if like me you constantly wonder WHY these people sell out the nation and reality and themselves for Trump, the Pulitzer-Prize winning journalistic non-profit Pro Publica may have an answer based on promotions, new jobs, and other emoluments eight pro-Trump witnesses have received: Cash. B-Block (27:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Republicans literally could not tell the difference between Milwaukee and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. ESPN's Ticking Time Bomb Pat McAfee somehow makes his use of the "b-word" about a Women's Basketball star even more of a disaster. And why on earth would a baseball player get banned for life for gambling on baseball oh right half the ads on baseball broadcasts tell you to gamble on baseball C-Block (38:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I brought him up in the A-Block..Why not tell you ALL my Frank Luntz stories? From the one where he inadvertently got me the job anchoring Countdown on MSNBC to the one where he inadvertently got the president of CNN fired.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been less than a week since the jury reached a verdict in Donald Trump's criminal trial and the political spin on the result is dizzying. MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord seek to debunk several claims entered into the public discourse, especially around the Department of Justice being involved in a state case and that the trial was somehow ‘rigged'. They also address some breaking news out of Wisconsin, where Kenneth Chesebro, Jim Troupis and Michael Roman were criminally charged in that state's  fake elector scheme. Then, Andrew and Mary review the latest in Florida after Special Counsel Jack Smith refiled his motion to bar Trump from making statements that endanger law enforcement.Note: Listeners can send questions to: ProsecutingTrumpQuestions@nbcuni.com

Grant Stern - Trump Organization, CFO Allen Weisselberg & PutinSep 5, 2023Grant Stern returns in this archive show to discuss the tale behind some of the older Trump Indictments.Trump has long been associated with dark money and machinations, but this came to a head in the early part of his presidency. The delinquent attitude to the law and national interests meant his associations with Putin, his tax problems and the hush money scandal amongst many legal problems are almost too much to keep track of, let alone his current set of indictments.Fortunately Grant Stern is on the case.Grant Stern Twitter Grant Stern Byline Times Grant Stern Threads WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

It's a historic moment, as the country awaits the jury's verdict in the first ever criminal trial of a former president. To assess the gravity of what each side needed to convey in summations, MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord scrutinize the approach to closing arguments by both the defense and the prosecution. Then, they turn to the latest from the Florida documents case, where Judge Cannon and Special Counsel Jack Smith are at odds. The issue: Donald Trump's ‘lies' posted and amplified, concerning the search warrants executed on his Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022.

Trump's lawyers will mention the “missing witness” of the disgraced Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg so much in closing argument to the jury, that we could make it into a drinking game. Michael Popok explains how both the prosecution and defense will try to use Allen Weisselberg's participation in the criminal conspiracy to their unique advantage, and why the jury instructions won't help the jury sort it out.

Alan Dershowitz is a former Felix Frankfurter Professor Of Law, Emeritus at Harvard Law School. He is with me today to discuss "the weakest case he's ever seen in 60 years of practicing law." Alan discusses how the prosecution never brought Allen Weisselberg to corroborate Michael Cohen's testimony. Speculating that Weisselberg would have said something different, further proving Cohen is an absolute liar. Dershowitz was in court where he watched Judge Merchan act like Robert Deniro's "psycho" character from Taxi Driver and that this all needs to be televised so Americans can see what is actually happening in the courtroom. Between Cohen lying in the stand and Judge Merchan's behavior, the motives are simple, get Trump. Nobody in the history of this country has ever been charged with failing to disclose hush money.. Alan Dershowitz explains the likely scenarios should there be a conviction in the Trump trial. Stay till the end as Alan explains the ultimate outcome of the entire case after an appeal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Donald Trump's defense team rested on Tuesday without calling the former President to the stand. But some crucial points were made before the conclusion of Michael Cohen's cross examination that veteran prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord explain in depth. They also weigh in on some courtroom tactics that worked and others that didn't go over well from both the prosecution and the defense. Plus, Andrew and Mary detail some of the gambits used by defense witness Robert Costello that were admonished by Judge Merchan.

A recurring theme in Michael Cohen's testimony this week was his evolving moral compass. Analyzing the last day of direct examination, veteran prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord draw out some distinctions to be mindful of, and what the intense cross examination from defense attorney Todd Blanche was alluding to. In their estimation, the state will need to address Cohen's inconsistencies in redirect and closing arguments. Lastly, Andrew and Mary sum up what to expect next week as the trial likely moves to summations.

This Day in Legal History: Constitution of Norway SignedOn this day, May 17, in 1814, the Constitution of Norway was signed, marking a pivotal moment in the country's history. This significant event established Norway as an independent kingdom, following centuries of union with Denmark. The constitution was drafted at Eidsvoll by the Norwegian Constituent Assembly, composed of prominent figures who were determined to assert Norway's sovereignty and democratic principles.The document drew inspiration from both the United States Constitution and the French Revolution, emphasizing individual rights, separation of powers, and a parliamentary system. It remains one of the oldest constitutions still in use today, symbolizing Norway's commitment to democracy and freedom.The signing of the constitution laid the groundwork for Norway's future political development, even though it initially faced challenges. Shortly after its adoption, Norway entered into a union with Sweden, which lasted until 1905. Despite this, the constitution was largely preserved and served as a foundation for Norwegian governance during the union period.Today, May 17 is celebrated as Constitution Day, or "Syttende Mai," a national holiday in Norway. The day is marked by vibrant parades, patriotic displays, and public speeches, reflecting the pride Norwegians take in their constitutional heritage. It is a day for Norwegians to celebrate their history, culture, and the enduring values enshrined in their constitution.Constitution Day serves as a reminder of Norway's journey towards independence and the establishment of a democratic society. It honors the vision and determination of those who, over two centuries ago, laid the foundation for a free and sovereign nation. The celebrations highlight the enduring relevance of the principles set forth in 1814, which continue to guide and inspire Norway's democratic institutions today.On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the funding mechanism for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), allowing it to continue drawing money from the Federal Reserve rather than Congress. This decision was a victory for the Biden administration and a setback for conservative critics of the agency. However, the Supreme Court's conservative majority still poses a threat to federal agency powers, with pending decisions that could limit their authority in various sectors. These upcoming rulings, expected by the end of June, involve significant cases concerning the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).The CFPB ruling, a 7-2 decision written by Justice Clarence Thomas, reversed a lower court's decision that the funding method violated the appropriations clause of the U.S. Constitution. Despite this win, the broader conservative push to reduce federal regulatory power continues, with legal scholars predicting further setbacks for agencies. The SEC faces challenges to its in-house judicial proceedings, while the NMFS case could lead to the reassessment of the "Chevron deference," a doctrine that directs courts to defer to federal agencies' interpretations of ambiguous laws.Additionally, the EPA's "Good Neighbor" plan, aimed at reducing ozone emissions, is under scrutiny by several Republican-led states and energy companies. These cases reflect ongoing conservative efforts to limit the scope of federal regulations and reshape administrative law.Despite consumer watchdog's US Supreme Court win, agency powers still on chopping blockAt Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York, his former attorney Michael Cohen testified that Trump directed him to pay Stormy Daniels $130,000 to silence her about an alleged affair before the 2016 election and then falsify business records to cover it up. While Trump's lawyers have tried to discredit Cohen, experts note that prosecutors have supported his testimony with phone logs, documents, and other witnesses. For instance, David Pecker, former publisher of the National Enquirer, testified about efforts to suppress damaging stories, and recordings and call logs showed frequent contact between Trump and Cohen during the negotiations. Despite substantial circumstantial evidence suggesting Trump's involvement, Cohen's claims about specific conversations remain uncorroborated, especially without testimony from Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization's former CFO, who could confirm or refute Cohen's statements but is not expected to testify. The defense will likely argue that Trump delegated detailed business matters and that there was nothing improper about categorizing payments as legal fees. Trump, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges, claims the case is a partisan attempt to disrupt his presidential campaign.Trump prosecutors' hard evidence bolsters Michael Cohen's testimony, experts sayTop lawyers for major U.S. airlines collectively earned almost $50 million in 2023, highlighting the industry's reliance on in-house legal expertise. United Airlines led with President Brett Hart receiving nearly $15 million, including substantial stock awards and cash compensation. Delta Air Lines' Chief Legal Officer Peter Carter earned over $13.1 million, reflecting his additional role and pandemic leadership.These compensation packages underscore the crucial role of legal teams in navigating regulatory, union, and consumer disputes. Airlines face numerous legal challenges, such as the recent lawsuit against the U.S. Transportation Department and passenger litigation over aircraft issues.American Airlines paid its Vice Chair Stephen Johnson more than $10.2 million, while legal chief Priya Aiyar received $7.8 million. Despite pandemic pay cuts, airlines now offer competitive salaries to retain top legal talent.Other industry legal leaders also received significant compensation, with FedEx's Mark Allen earning $5.4 million and JetBlue's Brandon Nelson $4.9 million. This trend reflects the high value airlines place on experienced legal professionals to manage complex legal and regulatory environments.US Airlines' $50 Million Lawyer Pay Shows Industry's Legal NeedsMicrosoft's upcoming appeal of a $242 million patent verdict is set to intensify debates about the role of foreign activities and apportionment in calculating damages. The verdict, awarded to IPA Technologies Inc., found that Microsoft's Cortana infringed on a patent related to its US-based servers. The jury decided that each time a user command was processed by these servers, it constituted infringement.The central issue in the appeal is how damages are apportioned, particularly regarding the extent of infringement and the inclusion of non-infringing features. Legal experts anticipate that Microsoft will challenge the damages calculation, arguing that the verdict oversimplifies the product's functionality and inflates the damages.A significant aspect of the debate involves the Federal Circuit's recent decision in Brumfield v. IBG LLC, which allows for the consideration of foreign sales when calculating damages if they result from domestic infringement. This precedent was used to support the current ruling against Microsoft.Judge Richard G. Andrews ruled that the damages theory used by IPA was appropriately apportioned, considering both infringing and non-infringing elements of Cortana. However, the complexity of apportionment and the challenge of accurately valuing the patented technology's contribution to the overall product make this a contentious area likely to be scrutinized on appeal.Legal experts believe that while Microsoft will argue that the calculation was flawed, the detailed economic and technical analyses required in such cases will be pivotal. The Federal Circuit's history of closely reviewing these aspects suggests a rigorous examination ahead.Microsoft Mega-Verdict Appeal Primed to Test Patent-Damages LawThis week's closing theme is by Maurice Ravel. Maurice Ravel, a prominent figure in the world of classical music, was born in 1875 in the Basque town of Ciboure, France. Renowned for his intricate compositions and masterful orchestration, Ravel's work spans a variety of genres, each infused with his distinctive style. One of his remarkable contributions to the realm of classical music is the "Rapsodie espagnole," a four-movement orchestral suite that showcases his fascination with Spanish culture and music.Among Ravel's diverse compositions, "L'heure espagnole," a one-act opera, stands out for its vibrant portrayal of a comedic love story set in a Spanish clockmaker's shop. Premiering in 1911 at the Opéra-Comique in Paris, this opera exemplifies Ravel's ability to blend humor with musical sophistication. The fourth movement of "Rapsodie espagnole," titled "Feria assez animé," embodies the spirited essence of a Spanish festival, capturing the lively and festive atmosphere through its dynamic rhythms and vivid orchestration."Feria assez animé" transports listeners to the heart of a bustling Spanish feria, where the excitement of the crowd and the exuberance of the celebration are palpable. Ravel's meticulous attention to detail and his exceptional skill in orchestration are evident in this piece, making it a delightful auditory experience. As we delve into this week's closing theme, we invite you to immerse yourself in the colorful and animated world that Ravel so brilliantly brings to life.Without further ado, "L'heure espagnole" by Maurice Ravel, enjoy.

On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Donald Trump takes a quick break from the courtroom to campaign this weekend and send more signals that he will not accept the 2024 presidential election results if he loses. What's worse, his allies are lining up to back him up. Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia and history professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat join me to discuss Trump's latest threat to democracy. And Trump's former fixer, Michael Cohen, is set to take the stand Monday against his former boss. I'll ask Ankush Khardori if this is a make-or-break moment in the hush-money election-interference trial. I will also Sound Off with my panel on the latest news of the week, including the moment Trump praised a fictional serial killer. All that and more on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.” 

We head into the “eye of the storm” as MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord explore the nature of Stormy Daniel's testimony in depth, and why her credibility is less at issue than that of others who facilitated the hush payments to her. Then, they turn their prosecutorial expertise to understanding why the defense's mistrial motion was denied by Judge Merchan. And lastly, Andrew and Mary detail what to glean from Judge Cannon's indefinite postponement of the classified documents trial in Florida.

As witness testimony continues today with Stormy Daniels in Donald Trump's New York criminal trial, jurors also recently heard from former Trump advisor Hope Hicks and longtime Trump Organization controller Jeff McConney. After trading some testimony takeaways, veteran prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord get nerdy on the significance of exhibits 35 and 36. Plus, Judge Merchan gives a sober warning to Mr. Trump as he rules on another gag order violation. And an update on the Florida classified documents case.For further reading: Here are exhibits 35 and 36 that Andrew and Mary refer to in this episode.

As week three of Donald Trump's criminal trial wraps up in New York, Andrew Weissmann paints a first-hand picture of the scene—both outside and inside the courtroom — after attending on Thursday. Then, he and fellow MSNBC legal analyst Mary McCord recount the gist of Keith Davidson's testimony and cross-examination. And Andrew and Mary answer listener questions about the trial.For further reading: Here is the decision Andrew referenced of a 2020 order granting attorney fees between Stephanie Clifford and Donald J Trump. As he noted, page 20 is relevant. 

Prosecutors played another one of the secretly recorded phone calls made by former Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen. Trump could be heard saying, “It's so false what they're saying. It's such bullshit.” Cohen talks to Trump about opening up a company for the transfer of information regarding David Pecker and says he spoke to Allen Weisselberg about how to set up the financing. Journalist and political analyst Michael Shure will join us to discuss that and more. Friday Fabulous Florida brings the craziest stories. Those Floridians make Friday special on The Mark Thompson Show. The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, will make his way to the studio to talk about movies, what's on TV and the latest in the sports world.

This week, Donald Trump's New York criminal trial began in earnest with opening statements and testimony from former AMI CEO, David Pecker. MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord break down the essence of the openings from both sides and how the statements will illuminate aspects of the trial in the coming weeks. Plus, Judge Merchan admonished the defense in Tuesday morning's gag order hearing, saying that they were ‘losing all credibility', but reserving a decision on the issue. For now. And looking ahead, Andrew and Mary weigh in on the questions they hope to hear in Thursday's oral arguments before the Supreme Court to decide whether Donald Trump's presidential immunity claim holds water.For further reading: here is the article Andrew wrote with his colleague Ryan Goodman in Just Security Questions the Supreme Court Should Ask at Thursday's Oral Argument on Presidential ImmunityAnd a sincere thanks to all our listeners for voting in the Webby Awards!

Donald Trump's longtime Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg was sent back to Rikers Island after pleading guilty to committing perjury at Trump's New York fraud trial. Weisselberg had served time at Rikers previously after pleading guilty to being involved in a 15-year-long criminal scheme to defraud in the first degree while serving as the CFO for the Trump Organization. Given that Weisselberg has steadfastly refused to cooperate with the prosecutors and testify against Donald Trump, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg appears to have made the strategic decision to prosecute him for perjury, making it all the harder for Trump to call Weisselberg as a defense witness at Trump's upcoming criminal trial in an attempt to undercut the prosecution's star witness Michael Cohen.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Trump's former CEO Allen Weisselberg is going to jail again for lying under oath about Trump's assets, which undermines any chance Trump had of using Weisselberg to help him out at next week's criminal trial. Michael Popok explains how Weisselberg's sentencing today may also lead to sanctions for Trump's lawyers' Habba and Kise, and why the Manhattan DA didn't ask for a longer sentence than 5 months and gave Weisselberg a break in advance of the next trial.

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid debunks Donald Trump's false claims of credit for dismantling reproductive rights, which he also falsely attributes to the people's desires.

Additionally, Allen Weisselberg faces his second stint in prison at 76, bearing the burden for Trump as the former president's criminal trial looms. Plus, concerns escalate over airplane safety with another whistleblower raising alarms about Boeing planes. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

On today's show, David Waldman coaxed Greg Dworkin to pull his Raft O' Stories several more feet up the Big Kagro River. We might get to 10 tomorrow! Everyone knows that the secret to comedy is... Donald Trump established himself as the 2024 Pro-Choice Candidate and Gops got in line to be lead out of the wilderness... Timing! The Arizona Supreme Court has gone pre-abolition, pre-suffrage, pre-antibiotics, pre-statehood, to illuminate what states rights really can do to human rights, banning abortion for everyone but their daughters, wives, etc. Democrats feel that this might work towards their benefit in the upcoming election. The New York Times warns that just because that happened the last few dozen times, doesn't guarantee it will happen again. Americans might be ambivalent about abortion, but they do prefer their rights be left right where they left them. Trump's hush money charges are seen as serious by most voters. It might change a few minds, but you know MAGA. Keeping DJT stock at $9 billion requires mass delusion heretofore unwitnessed. And yet, President Joe Biden is making money and laying down tracks, and is maybe, an inch or so ahead. Maybe MAGA will become distracted by RFK Jr. and the Gerald Ford Foundation. Allen Weisselberg is going back to jail, again for Trump. Don Hankey charged Donald a low, low, LOW craaaazy low fee upfront, but unlike Hankey's previous customers, the repo men just might be coming for Hankey this time. Right-wing fraudsters are fined $1.25 million for their robocall scam, but who will pay their bill? Trump's lawyers not only go bad for Trump, but they go stupid too, just cannon fodder for the Big Stall.

Defense attorney Michael Popok & former prosecutor Karen Friedman Agnifilo are back with a new episode of the midweek edition of the Legal AF pod. On this episode, they debate: whether the Supreme Court played politics in ruling for Trump in the insurrectionist ballot case and what it means for their next big decision on whether Trump has immunity; whether the Manhattan DA will call the convicted perjurer Allen Weisselberg, Trump's former chief financial officer and henchman, at the Stormy Daniels hush money business record fraud case; how Trump will be able to raise the $600 million necessary to stop the enforcement of 2 civil judgments against him; whether 1400 text messages just disclosed in a civil suit will prove to be Trump election lawyer Ken Chesebro's and Trump's undoing, and so much more at the intersection of law, politics and justice.

Donald Trump is forever saying he hires only "the best people." Recent developments seem to suggest otherwise. Trump's long-time Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg, was previously convicted of participating in a 15-year-long scheme to defraud in connection with his work at the Trump Organization, and he went to prison. Upon his release, he was called as a witness at Trump's New York fraud trial and Weisselberg committed perjury, lying in an attempt to help his boss. Weisselberg has now pleaded guilty to perjury charges and is heading back to prison.

After the settlement in Wisconsin over the fraudulent electors scheme, veteran prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord analyze the importance of what came to light as a result of the litigation against James Troupis, Kenneth Chesebro and 10 ‘alternate' electors. Mary was part of the team arguing the case and gives expansive context to the ongoing efforts to overturn the 2020 election. They then turn to the Supreme Court's decision on the Colorado ballot issue, and why, despite a unanimous vote, there may be dissension in the ranks. And they wrap up with a look at the timing of the Florida documents case and Trump's former CFO Allen Weisselberg's guilty plea on federal perjury charges.

This week on The Enemies List, Rick is joined by Michael Cohen, former attorney and fixer for Donald Trump, to dive into the complex web of legal and financial troubles surrounding the former president. With Cohen's insider knowledge, the conversation illuminates the recent legal developments, including Alan Weisselberg's guilty plea and its limited impact on Trump. Cohen provides a candid look at Trump's precarious financial situation, debunking myths of his wealth and detailing the challenges of covering substantial legal debts without sufficient liquid assets. Cohen offers an intimate exploration of Trump's transactional approach to relationships, his struggle to navigate a maze of legal battles, and the potential consequences for his future.

The Supreme Court is asserting itself in matters related to Donald Trump. The justices held unanimously that states may not block Donald Trump from their election ballots on the grounds of 14th Amendment disqualification, though the justices did have a sharp disagreement about the court's choice to foreclose other non-congressional federal paths to disqualifying Trump or other candidates who may have engaged in insurrection. Meanwhile, the court will consider Trump's claims about presidential immunity, and on an expedited basis — oral arguments will be next month, with a decision expected by late June. That sets up the awkward possibility that Trump's criminal trial related to January 6 will begin in the fall and be ongoing on Election Day, if Judge Tanya Chutkan is serious about her stated intention not to let a defendant's busy schedule get in the way of a trial.Trump's deadlines to post his appeal bonds approach, with courts so far unimpressed with his requests for delays and discounts. What happens if he fails to post sufficient bonds? And where could hundreds of millions of dollars come from? Allen Weisselberg is getting a little more prison time — this time for lying about the lies about the size of Trump's penthouse — and Ken and I discuss why we feel… well, we don't exactly feel sorry for him, but we do find something a little odd about how it's Allen who keeps getting sentenced to custody when he's not exactly the primest mover behind Trump-entity misdeeds. And Hunter Biden talked to a congressional committee, and when he did so he really talked.Visit serioustrouble.show to find a transcript of this episode and to sign up for our newsletter.

Today's Headlines: Following Vice President Kamala Harris's plea for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, she held discussions with a senior Israeli cabinet member and Benny Gantz, leader of an opposition party to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Harris criticized Israel for not facilitating enough aid into Gaza, where the death toll has reportedly surpassed 30,000, with over 500,000 Gazans facing the risk of death from starvation. Additionally, the UN released a preliminary report alleging that members of Hamas committed sexual violence against women during an attack on October 7th, prompting calls for a broader investigation. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court unanimously overturned a Colorado state decision to remove Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot, emphasizing that state courts lack authority over federal election matters. Lastly, Trump Organization's former CFO, Allen Weisselberg, pleaded guilty to perjury in a New York state civil fraud trial, and National Guard member Jack Teixeira pleaded guilty to leaking classified military documents, facing a 16-year prison sentence.

Justice Engoron dropped a bombshell of a footnote in the $364 million civil fraud verdict against Donald Trump. Trump's loyal ex-CFO Allen Weisselberg may be withholding testimony in multiple trials based on an illegal hush agreement, and according to Justice Engoron, an underreported victory against Trump holds the key to setting him free. Jessica Denson, the woman who scored that precedent-setting victory, reports.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with major breaking news from New York in the jaw-dropping number of $453,500,000. That is the amount Judge Arthur Engoron has ruled Donald Trump has to pay in his New York civil fraud case which includes nearly $100 million dollars in interest. That number will continue to grow until he pays. Engoron also ruled that Trump is barred from personally running a business in New York for the next three years. Engoron's ruling also hits the elder Trump sons, fining Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. $4 million apiece, and fining Trump's longtime business manager Allen Weisselberg $1 million dollars. Joy and her expert guests discuss this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Just earlier today, the judge overseeing the civil fraud case against President Trump here in New York issued his official ruling. It's a 96-page document that rules that Trump is liable for manipulating his net worth in order to secure more favorable bank loans, and is therefore ordered to pay a massive penalty of roughly $355 million.

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on the responses by the New York AG and Donald Trump's lawyer Alina Habba to the request by Justice Engoron to provide information about potential criminal perjury by co-defendant Allen Weisselberg.

On Tuesday, the US Appeals Court for the DC Circuit unanimously ruled that former President Trump is not immune from prosecution as it relates to his actions after the 2020 election. MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord detail what the decision means and what happens next. This, as we await Thursday's oral arguments before the Supreme Court to decide if Trump can be kept off Colorado's primary ballot due to the 14th amendment's insurrection clause. Also on tap: movement in the Florida classified documents case, Fani Willis and Nathan Wade respond in Georgia and Allen Weisselberg considers a plea deal.

Donald Trump's longtime Chief Financial Officer, Allen Weisselberg - already a convicted felon for engaging in fraud at the Trump Organization - reportedly is in negotiations with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to plead guilty to perjury for lying when he testified at Trump's New York fraud trial. This new legal development likely factors into two other legal developments: Judge Engoron delaying his verdict in Trump's New York fraud trial and Judge Tanya Chutkan postponing Trump's federal case in DC for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential elections. Glenn discusses the intersection of these three legal developments and what that intersection tells us about which of Trump's criminal cases is now most likely to go to trial first.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
