Just a few days ago, the legal and political spotlight once again swiveled to Donald Trump's ongoing court battles—battles that have been dominating headlines across New York and Washington. The most immediate story: Trump's appeal of his criminal conviction in the high-profile New York hush money case. This is the same case where, last year, a jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records. The charge? Concealing a payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, which prosecutors argued was to silence her ahead of the 2016 election. The trial was a spectacle, but the real history was made after the verdict—Trump was sentenced just ten days before taking the oath for his second term as president.Now, Trump's legal team is working overtime at the U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan, where on June 11 they tried to convince federal judges to overturn that conviction. Their argument: this case should never have landed in state court, insisting it falls under federal jurisdiction. Trump himself wasn't in the courtroom for this—his lawyers handled the effort, pointing to what some legal experts call a rarely used and, frankly, unlikely-to-succeed legal theory. Still, Trump recorded a video statement at sentencing, calling the entire process unfair and vowing to fight on.Meanwhile, this isn't the only legal front Trump is fighting. Just months ago, down in Florida, his classified documents case saw another twist. Judge Cannon dismissed a superseding federal indictment, siding with Trump's position about the legality of Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment and funding. Federal prosecutors immediately appealed, and now that case, too, rests with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.And New York isn't finished with Trump either. Beyond the hush money conviction, the state's massive civil fraud case against Trump and his business empire continues to wend its way through the appeals process. Both Trump and Attorney General Letitia James have filed appeals; the court has now consolidated the arguments, meaning all issues will be heard at once.Even as a sitting president again, Trump's calendar is crowded with court hearings, filings, and legal deadlines. Supporters see a relentless pursuit, opponents see accountability, and legal scholars watch a constitutional stress test playing out in real time. But one thing is clear: from the appellate courts of Manhattan to the federal dockets of Florida, the courtroom drama involving Donald Trump shows no sign of slowing down.

Equinox and SoulCycle will pay $600,000 in restitution after Attorney General Letitia James found the companies made it too difficult for members to cancel. She says the high-end gyms violated consumer protection laws. Meanwhile, Newark Liberty Airport is reopening a runway two weeks early after completing repaving work that began in March. And WNYC culture reporter Ryan Kailath shares some fun and free (or cheap) things to do around the city this month.

When you think about great political comebacks, maybe you think of Donald Trump, or Richard Nixon, or “comeback kid” Bill Clinton. You might soon add Andrew Cuomo to that list. In 2020, Cuomo was at the top of the world. He had been governor of New York for a decade. He had an illustrious career in New York politics—which is sort of the Cuomo family business. He learned how the state worked from his father, three-term Democratic governor Mario Cuomo. When COVID hit, Governor Cuomo's star just kept rising. Millions of Americans—even outside of New York—tuned into his COVID briefings, and his CNN segments with his brother, Chris Cuomo. He was “America's Governor.” On the cover of Rolling Stone. Women and men were even self-identifying as “Cuomosexual.” But then it all came crashing down. With two scandals—one personal and one political. As Covid was peaking in New York City, Andrew Cuomo was hit with a wave of allegations. In the end, state Attorney General Letitia James brought forward a report that alleged Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women. (Cuomo denies wrongdoing.) The other scandal, as many will recall, had to do with Covid—specifically, Cuomo's administration was accused of mishandling the readmission of elders who'd had Covid into nursing homes, and many alleged that he misrepresented the nursing home death count. The governor disputes that, as you'll hear today. By August 2021, Cuomo announced his resignation. His political career appeared to be over. For a time, he totally disappeared from public life. He went from having an audience of 59 million tuning into his Covid briefings to zero. But today, in May of 2025, the picture is dramatically different. Andrew Cuomo is now the front-runner to be the next mayor of New York City. Among Democrats—the party that tore him down—he has a commanding lead, polling at around 37 percent ahead of next month's primary. His closest competitor, 33-year-old socialist state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, is hovering around 18 percent, according to a Marist Marist poll from just last week. So, what is it about Andrew Cuomo? Will New York choose Andrew Cuomo again? And if so, why? What does that say about the state of the city and our political choices? And why does he want the job of mayor at all? Today on Honestly, Bari asks former governor Andrew Cuomo about all of it—Covid and the harassment allegations, but also his vision for New York City, addressing public safety and affordability, his thoughts on school choice, Eric Adams's tenure, the state of the Democratic Party, Donald Trump, illegal immigrants in New York City, Zohran Mamdani, and his plan for getting NYC back on track.

Good morning, I'm reporting live on this Monday, May 19, 2025, with the latest developments in Donald Trump's legal battles.Just three days ago, on May 16, the Supreme Court issued a significant ruling in A.A.R.P. v. Trump, vacating a Fifth Circuit judgment and remanding the case back for further consideration. The Court has temporarily enjoined the government from removing named plaintiffs or putative class members under the AEA pending the Fifth Circuit's order. This stems from President Trump's March 14th Proclamation, which has been legally challenged on multiple fronts.Earlier this month, on May 5th, we saw movement in Pacito v. Trump, where a District Court ordered a compliance framework forcing the government to follow preliminary injunction orders related to refugees. This case directly challenges Trump's controversial suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, which has left thousands in limbo since his return to office.The legal calendar for Trump remains packed across multiple jurisdictions. His classified documents case continues to work through the appeals process after Judge Cannon granted his motion to dismiss the superseding indictment last July. The government promptly appealed to the 11th Circuit.Meanwhile, former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has taken his Georgia criminal case all the way to the Supreme Court, seeking to move it to federal court. In New York, Trump and his co-defendants are appealing Justice Engoron's decisions in the civil fraud case, with Attorney General Letitia James successfully consolidating these appeals.In Georgia, several defendants are appealing Judge McAfee's order regarding motions to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis, with oral arguments for all appellants scheduled to be heard together.Trump also continues his efforts to remove Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's state prosecution to federal court, despite previous rejections. His opening brief to the Second Circuit was due last October.What's particularly striking about these developments is how they've unfolded against the backdrop of Trump's second term. The Supreme Court's recent ruling signals their willingness to place at least temporary limits on executive authority, even with Trump back in the White House.As these cases continue to wind through the courts, they're testing the boundaries of presidential power and setting precedents that will shape our democracy for generations. The coming weeks promise more significant legal developments as the courts grapple with these complex constitutional questions.

I've been glued to my screens these past few days, just trying to keep up as Donald Trump's legal battles keep dominating the headlines. It's May 14, 2025, and there's been a flurry of activity in the courts that's impossible to ignore if you care about American politics or the justice system.Let's start with New York. On May 30, 2024, a Manhattan jury reached a historic decision, finding Donald Trump guilty of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records. The case, The People for the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump, stemmed from allegations that he tried to cover up hush money payments during the 2016 campaign. After a dramatic trial that started in April 2024, the verdict arrived with the nation watching. Then, on January 10, 2025, Judge Juan Merchan passed a sentence: an unconditional discharge for the former president. Trump avoided jail time in this criminal case, but the conviction itself was unprecedented—a former president with 34 felony convictions on his record.But that's just part of the story. Down in Florida, things unfolded differently. Back in June 2023, Trump and his aide Walt Nauta were indicted on charges including willfully retaining national defense information and obstruction of justice—essentially, the classified documents case. Judge Aileen Cannon shook up the legal world when, on July 15, 2024, she dismissed the federal indictment entirely, arguing that Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment wasn't lawful. The Justice Department tried to fight back, but by late November 2024, they had dismissed their own appeal, bringing that chapter to a surprising close.The courtrooms haven't emptied yet. Just yesterday, on May 13, 2025, another hearing unfolded: Selections, Inc. et al v. Donald J. Trump et al, in federal court. The public could tune in via teleconference, adding another layer of transparency—and spectacle—to Trump's ongoing legal saga.Meanwhile, Trump's legal team and prosecutors are locked in appeals and fresh challenges, from New York's civil fraud appeals against Attorney General Letitia James to attempts to shift criminal cases into federal court and more procedural wrangling that make headlines almost daily. These cases are complex, with overlapping timelines and shifting strategies, but one thing is clear: Donald Trump's unprecedented legal calendar continues to shape both the courtrooms and the political landscape as the country closely watches what comes next.

Good morning, I'm reporting live on the latest developments in the legal saga surrounding former President Donald Trump. It's Friday, May 9th, 2025, and the past few months have seen significant developments in Trump's various legal battles.Earlier this year, on January 10th, Justice Juan Merchan sentenced Donald Trump to unconditional discharge following his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in Manhattan. This marked the conclusion of the first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president, which had captivated the nation since it began on April 15th, 2024, resulting in the jury's guilty verdict last May.Meanwhile, in the classified documents case in Florida, a dramatic turn occurred when Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the federal indictment against Trump last July, ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed and funded. Though the Justice Department initially appealed to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, they ultimately dropped the appeal against Trump in late November 2024, followed by dismissing appeals against his co-defendants Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira in January of this year.The legal calendar continues to be packed with Trump-related proceedings. Mark Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff, has petitioned the Supreme Court following the 11th Circuit's dismissal of his attempt to move his Georgia criminal case to federal court.In the New York civil fraud case, Trump and his co-defendants have filed appeals against Justice Engoron's decisions from last year. Attorney General Letitia James successfully requested to consolidate these appeals, which are now proceeding with a single record and set of briefs.Just three months ago, in February, a new lawsuit emerged challenging the Trump administration's handling of the refugee processing system. The case, Pacito v. Trump, was filed on February 10th with plaintiffs seeking a preliminary injunction the following day.Trump is also making another attempt to remove Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's state prosecution to federal court. After his second notice of removal was rejected and Judge Hellerstein denied his request for leave, Trump appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.As these cases continue to unfold, the intersection of law and politics remains at the forefront of American discourse, with each development adding new chapters to this unprecedented legal saga surrounding the former president.

Good morning, viewers. I'm reporting live from Washington, D.C., where the legal landscape surrounding former President Donald Trump continues to evolve rapidly. Just yesterday, a significant development emerged when Eric Iverson, a U.S. citizen and prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, filed a complaint against President Trump and several cabinet members including Attorney General Pamela Bondi, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.The case, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on May 5th, appears to involve Iverson's work as lead prosecutor in cases against individuals accused of war crimes in the Darfur region of Sudan. This adds yet another layer to the complex web of legal challenges facing the Trump administration.Meanwhile, the classified documents case in Florida has taken a dramatic turn. Judge Cannon granted Trump's motion to dismiss the superseding indictment based on allegations regarding Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment. The government quickly filed an appeal to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, and a briefing schedule is now in place.In New York, defendants in the civil fraud case have appealed Justice Engoron's decisions from both September 2023 and February 2024. Attorney General Letitia James successfully requested the consolidation of these appeals, which will now proceed with a single record and set of briefs.Georgia's criminal case continues its complex journey through the courts. Former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has petitioned the Supreme Court following the 11th Circuit's dismissal of his attempt to move his state criminal case to federal court. Additionally, defendants are appealing Judge McAfee's order regarding motions to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis.In Manhattan, Trump is making another attempt to move District Attorney Alvin Bragg's state prosecution to federal court. After filing a second notice of removal that was rejected as deficient, Trump's request for leave was denied by Judge Hellerstein. He's now appealed to the Second Circuit, with his opening brief due October 14th.Just two days ago, on May 5th, the House floor proceedings reflected the contentious political climate surrounding these legal battles.Refugee rights organizations have also become entangled in the administration's legal issues. A court recently ordered the administration to process refugee cases, provide resettlement support, and fund organizations handling resettlement or face sanctions.As these legal proceedings continue to unfold across multiple jurisdictions, the impact on both the political landscape and policy implementation remains profound. We'll continue to bring you updates as this unprecedented situation develops.

These past few days, the legal saga swirling around Donald Trump has reached new heights, with courtroom dramas unfolding across the country and even reaching the steps of the Supreme Court. I've been following the action closely, and the sheer number of legal battles and their political implications are nothing short of astonishing.Let's start in Manhattan, New York, where things came to a head last year but still reverberate today. Back in March 2023, a grand jury indicted Donald Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records—an historic first for a former president. After a trial that gripped the nation, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty on all counts by the end of May 2024. In January 2025, Justice Juan Merchan sentenced him to an unconditional discharge; that means Trump was found guilty, but the court chose not to impose jail time, probation, or a fine. The verdict's impact, however, continues to play out in public perception and upcoming appeals.Meanwhile, in Florida, Trump faced a separate federal case involving classified documents. He was indicted for allegedly retaining national defense information, obstructing justice, and making false statements. The proceedings took a dramatic turn in July 2024, when Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the indictment, citing the alleged improper appointment and funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith. The Department of Justice tried to appeal but ultimately dismissed its appeal by the end of January 2025, putting this particular prosecution on hold—for now.Then there's the raft of appeals and procedural wrangling happening in other cases. Trump and his legal team are locked in battles over issues ranging from state-level charges in Georgia to the New York civil fraud case brought by Attorney General Letitia James. In New York, all the appeals related to that civil fraud suit have now been consolidated, streamlining what would otherwise be a tangled web of legal arguments into one massive showdown.At the same time, Trump hasn't shied away from the spotlight—he's petitioned courts to move more cases to federal jurisdiction, with mixed results, and just in the past few days, his legal team pushed the Supreme Court to rule on the reach of nationwide injunctions and administrative authority. Meanwhile, another scheduled hearing is looming on May 13, as the Court of International Trade prepares to take up arguments over Trump-era tariffs, a case with high stakes for both trade law and presidential power.The legal calendar for Donald Trump is relentless. Whether it's criminal or civil, state or federal, the courtroom battles show no sign of slowing. Each new filing, hearing, and decision keeps the nation—and the world—watching, as Trump's unprecedented legal journey continues to make headlines and history.

A good amount of institutions have capitulated and complied in recent months with many of the Trump administration's actions that far overstep executive authority. At the same time, we've seen a few places where there has been opposition and resistance to tactics employed by the Trump 2.0 regime. Some of the most pushback has come from democratically elected attorneys general. Our guest this week points out that Trump “can't override laws with sharpies” and that checks and balances still exist. Letitia James is the attorney general for the state of New York. She joins WITHpod to discuss why she says Trump is on a “revenge tour,” whether or not she feels the rule of law will prevail as we move forward from the first 100 days and more.And a BIG thank you to all of our WITHpod fans for voting for us to win a People's Voice Webby Award in the category of Best Interview or Talk Show.

From New York to South Carolina, a pattern emerges: political elites manipulating systems to protect allies and punish dissenters. In New York, Attorney General Letitia James faces allegations of mortgage fraud while prosecuting Trump for similar conduct—highlighting a two-tier justice system. Meanwhile, in South Carolina, Treasurer Curtis Loftis is under fire for an accounting error he didn't cause, targeted by liberal-leaning Republicans desperate to control the state's finances. Together, these stories expose deep-rooted corruption, weaponized politics, and the erosion of accountability in both state and national arenas.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is F**KED!

As a legal correspondent covering the Trump trials, I've had a whirlwind few days. On March 10th, I was in a packed New York courtroom as Judge Juan Merchan sentenced former President Donald Trump to unconditional discharge in the hush money case. The judge's decision came as a surprise to many, given the 34 felony counts Trump was convicted of last May.The very next day, I rushed to Washington D.C., where the Supreme Court was hearing arguments on Trump's claim of presidential immunity in the federal election interference case. The justices seemed skeptical of Trump's broad immunity claims, with even conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh pressing Trump's lawyers on the limits of their argument.Meanwhile, in Georgia, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was fighting to remain on the election interference case against Trump and others. Yesterday, Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Willis could stay on the case, but only if she removed the special prosecutor she had been romantically involved with. It was a mixed ruling that left both sides claiming partial victory.This morning, I'm back in New York, where Trump is appearing for a hearing in the civil fraud case brought by Attorney General Letitia James. The AG is seeking to enforce the $454 million judgment against Trump, arguing he hasn't posted sufficient bond to cover the amount while he appeals.As I sit in the courtroom, I can't help but marvel at the unprecedented nature of these proceedings. Never before has a former president faced such a barrage of legal challenges. Trump, for his part, continues to claim all the cases are politically motivated witch hunts.Outside, Trump supporters and protesters clash, their chants echoing through the streets. It's a stark reminder of how deeply polarizing these cases remain.With the clock ticking down to November's election, the outcomes of these trials could have profound implications for Trump's political future and American democracy itself. As a journalist, it's both exhilarating and sobering to be chronicling this extraordinary chapter in U.S. history.Tomorrow, I'll be flying to Florida for a hearing in the classified documents case. It's exhausting keeping up with all these trials, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. This is history in the making, and I have a front-row seat.

The NYPD and members of the City Council are sparring over a bill that would ban police from using a tracker to monitor gang members. Plus, city leaders demonstrate new technology that will help defend Manhattan's Two Bridges neighborhood against rising sea levels. Also, Attorney General Letitia James goes after e-cigarette companies for violating New York's ban on flavored vapes and contributing to a youth vaping “public health crisis.” And finally, a church volunteer oversees a food pantry that has become an important community resource.

1010 WINS Reporter Mary-Lyn Buckley has the story.

The discussion covered various topics, including a lawsuit filed by 19 states against Trump and Elon Musk for accessing Treasury Department records. The lawsuit, filed by Attorney General Letitia James, claims the policy violates the Administrative Procedure Act and the Take Care Clause. The court granted a temporary restraining order, barring access to sensitive information. The panel debated the constitutionality of the order and suggested filing ethics charges against the judge. Additionally, they discussed Trump's recent actions, such as ending the USAID program and offering asylum to persecuted South African farmers. The conversation also touched on the Super Bowl, with opinions on the game and halftime show.

As the world watches, the legal battles surrounding Donald Trump continue to unfold. In recent days, the former U.S. President has been at the center of several high-profile court trials.One of the most significant cases involves Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The Justice Department has been investigating whether Trump improperly removed and stored sensitive documents, including those related to national security. This case has been ongoing, with recent developments indicating that Trump's legal team is preparing for a potential indictment.Meanwhile, in New York, Trump is facing a civil fraud lawsuit filed by Attorney General Letitia James. The lawsuit accuses Trump and his company of inflating the value of his assets to secure better loan terms and lower taxes. This case has been making headlines, with Trump's lawyers arguing that the lawsuit is politically motivated.In another case, Trump is facing charges related to his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The House Select Committee has been investigating Trump's involvement in the events leading up to the riot, and recent testimony has implicated Trump in the planning and execution of the attack.Additionally, Trump is facing a defamation lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll, a writer who accused Trump of raping her in the 1990s. Trump has denied the allegations, but the case has been moving forward, with recent developments indicating that Trump may be required to testify under oath.As these cases continue to unfold, the world is watching with bated breath. The outcomes of these trials will have significant implications for Trump's future, both personally and politically. With each new development, the stakes grow higher, and the nation waits with anticipation to see how these cases will ultimately play out.In the midst of these legal battles, Trump remains defiant, maintaining his innocence and accusing his opponents of political persecution. However, the evidence presented in these cases paints a different picture, one of a former president who may have crossed legal boundaries in pursuit of power and personal gain.As the trials continue, one thing is clear: the fate of Donald Trump hangs in the balance, and the world is watching to see what the future holds for the former U.S. President.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- According to new data from The New York Times, if the 2024 polling projections miss like they did in the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump would likely beat Kamala Harris in Wisconsin, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona. 6:15pm- New Doubts About Trump's Fraud Verdict. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes: “The Democratic Party's lawfare strategy to defeat Donald Trump took another blow last week, not that it received much media attention. Three prosecutions have already hit snags, and now a New York appellate court has expressed considerable doubt about Attorney General Letitia James's $489 million fraud prosecution and verdict.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/new-doubts-about-trumps-fraud-verdict-ag-letitia-james-appellate-judges-3e0a999e?mod=opinion_lead_pos2 6:20pm- During HBO's Real Time, Bill Maher referred to the United Nations as a “joke” organization—though panelists Ian Bremmer and Yuval Noah Harari were quick to disagree with him. 6:40pm- Who does a better Donald Trump impersonation?

NCLA, with its founder Professor Philip Hamburger, has filed a crucial amicus curiae brief in the case of New York v. Donald Trump. They are challenging a New York law used by Attorney General Letitia James to prosecute Trump for alleged fraud. Unlike typical fraud cases, New York Executive Law § 63.12 allows for penalties simply for making incorrect business statements, without needing to prove intent or harm. NCLA argues that this law infringes on First Amendment rights and is urging the court to overturn it to safeguard free speech for everyone. In this episode, Mark, Vec, and Senior Litigation Counsel Greg Dolin discuss the case and its broader implications.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Day in Legal History: Medicare Bill SignedOn July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Medicare bill into law, marking a significant milestone in American healthcare. This landmark legislation, part of Johnson's Great Society programs, aimed to address the healthcare needs of the nation's elderly population. With the stroke of his pen, Johnson established Medicare, a federal program providing comprehensive health insurance to Americans aged 65 and older. The bill was signed at the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri, with former President Harry S. Truman by Johnson's side, recognizing Truman's early efforts to promote national health insurance.Medicare went into effect the following year, in 1966, offering hospital and medical insurance to millions of senior citizens. This historic act transformed the landscape of healthcare in the United States, ensuring that older Americans would no longer face financial ruin due to medical expenses. Medicare's introduction also set the stage for future expansions, including the addition of prescription drug coverage and the establishment of Medicare Advantage plans. Over the decades, Medicare has become a cornerstone of the U.S. healthcare system, providing vital health services to millions of Americans and significantly reducing poverty among the elderly. The signing of the Medicare bill remains a pivotal moment in the pursuit of healthcare equity in the United States.A federal appeals court overturned a $79 million attorneys' fee award in T-Mobile US Inc.'s $350 million settlement of a data breach lawsuit. The US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled that the lower court abused its discretion by approving an excessive fee award in a case that settled quickly and without extensive legal proceedings. The court reversed the fee award, reinstated the objection of class member Cassie Hampe, and remanded the case for further proceedings. The litigation stemmed from a 2021 data breach affecting 76.6 million people, with settlement approval sought in July 2022. Judge Brian C. Wimes initially approved the fee award in June 2023, dismissing objections from Hampe and Connie Pentz as abusive. However, the appeals court found no evidence of bad faith or extortion by Hampe and criticized the lower court for not adjusting the fee award based on the hours worked by class counsel. The court noted that class counsel's fee request amounted to an hourly rate of $7,000 to $9,500, deemed unreasonable. The case was sent back for further consideration, with the involvement of multiple law firms representing the parties.T-Mobile Deal's $79 Million Attorneys' Fee Award Gets OverturnedBig Law firms are reevaluating their strategies following a ruling in the Eastern District of Virginia that barred Vinson & Elkins from representing wood-pellet maker Enviva Inc. in its bankruptcy due to a conflict of interest with private equity firm Riverstone Investment Group LLC. This decision has raised concerns about potential conflicts when firms represent both private equity sponsors and their distressed portfolio companies in Chapter 11 proceedings. The ruling could force law firms to choose between lucrative private equity deals and bankruptcy cases, potentially reshaping their business models.The court rejected Vinson & Elkins' proposal to separate their work for Riverstone and Enviva, citing ethical concerns. This outcome could lead to more aggressive challenges by the US Trustee and might require law firms to adopt stricter conflict management practices. Although some view the decision as specific to the case's facts, it signals a need for firms to better navigate ethical responsibilities.The ruling has already influenced how law firms approach bankruptcy cases involving private equity-backed companies, with future decisions possibly reaching higher courts for further clarification. Despite this, experts like Nancy Rapoport and Bruce A. Markell believe that Big Law firms will adapt and continue to thrive by finding compliant ways to manage conflicts of interest.Big Law Confronts Tail Risk Threat to Private Equity BankruptcyA New York state judge has ruled against appointing an outside monitor for the National Rifle Association (NRA) but banned former CEO Wayne LaPierre from serving as an officer or director for ten years. The decision by Justice Joel Cohen of the Manhattan Supreme Court comes from a four-year-old civil case initiated by state Attorney General Letitia James. Although a mixed outcome, the ruling followed a trial stage where jurors found LaPierre and others guilty of financial mismanagement, including funding LaPierre's lavish lifestyle. LaPierre was ordered to repay $4.35 million to the NRA, and former finance chief Wilson Phillips was ordered to repay $2 million.James sued the NRA in August 2020, citing greed, poor oversight, and cronyism. Following the ruling, both parties were directed to negotiate governance changes that could reduce the NRA's board size and facilitate new board candidacies. Despite the lawsuit, the NRA has perceived the case as politically motivated. The NRA, founded in 1871, has seen its influence wane, including within the Republican Party, as its membership and revenue have declined. NRA President Bob Barr acknowledged the jury's findings and reiterated the organization's commitment to good governance. LaPierre, who resigned just before the trial's first stage, has not commented on the ruling.Judge won't require monitor for NRA, bans ex-chief LaPierre for 10 years | ReutersThe American Bar Association (ABA) has issued its first formal ethics opinion on the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) by lawyers, emphasizing the need for adherence to ethical obligations. The ABA's ethics and professional responsibility committee highlighted that lawyers must ensure competence, protect client confidentiality, communicate appropriately, and handle fees ethically when utilizing AI technology. While AI can enhance efficiency in legal tasks such as research, document drafting, and analysis, it also poses risks like producing inaccurate results. Lawyers are advised to prevent unintended disclosure of client information and consider informing clients about their use of AI tools. The ABA's opinion serves as guidance for interpreting model rules, although these are not binding. The opinion cautioned against relying on AI-generated outputs without verification, noting instances where lawyers have cited nonexistent cases or inaccurate analyses, leading to potential misrepresentations in court.Recent cases illustrate the consequences of unverified AI use, with a federal judge in Virginia considering sanctions for a filing that included fictitious cases and fabricated quotations. While some courts require lawyers to disclose their use of AI, others, like the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, have declined to adopt such rules.State bar associations have also been developing their own AI guidelines, recognizing the rapidly evolving nature of the technology. The ABA anticipates ongoing updates to their guidance to keep pace with developments in AI.Lawyers using AI must heed ethics rules, ABA says in first formal guidance | ReutersThe U.S. Senate is poised to pass significant online child safety reforms through two bills: the Children and Teens' Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA 2.0) and the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). These reforms aim to enhance protections for minors on social media platforms. COPPA 2.0 will prohibit targeted advertising to minors, restrict data collection without consent, and allow parents and children to delete their information from social media. KOSA will establish a "duty of care" for social media companies to design safer platforms for minors.Despite bipartisan support in the Senate, with an 86-1 procedural vote, the bills face uncertainty in the Republican-controlled House, currently on recess until September. While some social media executives support KOSA, others, including leaders from Meta and TikTok, have expressed concerns. Critics, including tech industry groups and the American Civil Liberties Union, argue that the bills could limit access to important content for minors.In response to these concerns, the bill's language was amended, reducing the enforcement role of state attorneys general. Supporters like Josh Golin of Fairplay for Kids argue that KOSA targets specific risks, such as promoting harmful content, without granting legal grounds for government censorship. The legislation's future now hinges on approval in the House of Representatives.US Senate set to pass major online child safety reforms | Reuters This is a public episode.

Vice President Kamala Harris begins vetting potential candidates to be her running mate as Donald Trump and other Republican lawmakers launch racist and sexist attacks against her. Plus, New York Attorney General Letitia James on her “singular focus” to get Harris into the White House.

So, here's the tea: Congress has passed a bill that essentially says, "Hey ByteDance, either sell TikTok or get ready for a nationwide ban." Why, you ask? Well, apparently, some folks in Washington are worried that the Chinese government might use TikTok to collect sensitive data on Americans or spread propaganda. I mean, sure, valid concerns, but have they seen the state of American social media lately? Now, ByteDance has a tough choice to make: sell their golden goose or risk losing access to the U.S. market entirely. But here's where it gets juicy - TikTok is planning to fight back in court, arguing that a forced sale could violate users' free speech rights. I can just imagine the legal battle now: "Your honor, how will Americans express themselves without the ability to lip-sync to 'Savage' while doing the Renegade dance?" Even if ByteDance decides to sell, finding a buyer won't be a cakewalk. We're talking about a price tag that could make Jeff Bezos's eyes water. Plus, any potential buyer would have to pass the government's sniff test. It's like trying to find a date on Tinder, but instead of swiping right, you've got to get Uncle Sam's approval. But wait, there's more! China might just swoop in and block the whole thing. They've already hinted that they're not too keen on the idea of selling TikTok. It's like watching a high-stakes game of chess, but instead of pawns and rooks, we've got algorithms and national security concerns. And let's not forget about the poor TikTok employees caught in the middle of this mess. They're scattered across the globe, using ByteDance software to communicate, and now they might have to learn how to use Slack or something. The horror! Meanwhile, over in the land of upstate New York, we've got a district attorney who apparently thinks traffic laws are just suggestions. Sandra Doorley was caught on bodycam footage calling a police officer "an a--hole" for having the audacity to pull her over for speeding. Classy move, Sandra. But here's where it gets even better: the Rochester City Council is now asking Attorney General Letitia James to investigate Doorley's behavior. They're questioning her fitness to serve as District Attorney, and honestly, I can't blame them. I mean, if you can't handle getting a speeding ticket without throwing a tantrum, how are you supposed to handle, you know, actual crime? The council members are arguing that public officials should be held to the highest standards of ethics and accountability and that Doorley's behavior undermines the credibility of the justice system. In other words, they're saying, "Hey Sandra, maybe don't be a jerk to the cops when you're supposed to be upholding the law." So, there you have it, folks. A tale of two stories - one involving billions of dollars, national security, and the fate of a beloved social media app, and the other involving a district attorney who apparently missed the memo on basic decency. It's like watching a soap opera, but instead of love triangles and evil twins, we've got geopolitical tensions and traffic violations.

Welcome home!  Hosts Andrew Gillum, Tiffany Cross, and Angela Rye kick off this week's episode with a look at Trump's many many many federal and state charges (88 to be exact). You might've heard that Trump got out of paying a whole bunch of money to New York state this week— nearly half a billion dollars— the penalty for committing fraud by over-valuing his properties. He will still have to pay a $175 million bond, and New York State's Attorney General Letitia James may seize his properties if he doesn't cough it up.  From New York, the hosts take us across the country to cover the Republican anti-DEI offensive. More than half of states have introduced bills to limit diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The hosts take a look at these bills and the arguments folks are making for and against them. Why do some Black folks side with Republicans on this issue? What does it mean to be “equitable” and “inclusive,” anyway?  Finally, it's time to talk about Haiti. The situation there continues to escalate; the UN says that gangs have taken control of most of the capital city, Port-Au-Prince. The situation is complex and impossible to understand without knowing some of Haiti's rich history of emancipation and struggle.  Finally, don't forget to check out the biopic about Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman to run for president, out now on Netflix. You'll hear about it in this week's call to action!  —--------- We want to hear from you!

On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Desperate and dangerous. Donald Trump is staring down a deadline to hand over a bond of more than $450 million in his New York civil fraud case, and it's not clear where he'll get the money. If he doesn't pay, Attorney General Letitia James could seize some of the former president's assets. Jonathan Capehart asks Former National Security Advisor and former U.N. advisor Susan Rice's to weigh in on the national security risk of Trump's legal debts, and whether he should get intelligence briefings after becoming the official GOP Presidential nominee, given his foreign entanglements and cozy relationships with dictators and autocrats.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.serioustrouble.showDonald Trump's criminal trial in Manhattan was slated to start next week, but it will be delayed due to the late production of a large volume of documents from the US Attorney's office. And Trump has said he can't find a bond for the New York Attorney General's civil judgment against him, so you can expect to see Attorney General Letitia James starting to collect on that judgment by other means quite soon. In Georgia, Judge Scott McAfee has decided not to disqualify Fani Willis or her office from the RICO prosecution of Trump and his associates. But McAfee's decision is otherwise scathing. Nathan Wade wins our Senate Twink Memorial Award for Belatedly Good Judgment for changing his mind about an interview on “Meet the Press." Good call, Nathan! In Florida, Judge Aileen Cannon has issued some more bizarre orders in the documents case. What she's doing is not exactly what you would do if you were trying to tank the case, but “incompetent” and “malevolent” are not mutually exclusive theories of what Judge Cannon is up to. And finally, we answer an excellent listener question sent in by Ben Dreyfuss about what lawyers in movies sometimes do when their clients to lie to them.Free subscribers get the conversations about New York and a bit of the goings on in Georgia.

On this Monday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, we definitely do not debrief the anti-Semitic and loony leftist display that was the 2024 Oscars award show last night, where there was virtually zero pro-Israel commentary throughout the course of the night.

We finally have a ruling in NY's corruption case against the NRA, which presents them with a significant opportunity. Also, we let AI write a summary of this podcast in the style of other podcasts, and it turned out super overblown and melodramatic. Here it is: "Discover the seismic impact of the New York Attorney General's case against the National Rifle Association, where the powerful winds of justice have swept through the corridors of the NRA, leaving an uncertain future for Wayne LaPierre and his associates. As the gavel comes down, join us for a compelling narrative that weaves through the financial consequences, the potential for a court-appointed overseer, and the political shockwaves reverberating across New York's landscape. We analyze the Attorney General Letitia James' steadfast pursuit, compare it to other high-profile New York cases like Donald Trump's, and consider what this means for the NRA's path forward in a post-LaPierre world. Then, we pivot to the crossroads where the NRA stands today, poised between revitalization and obsolescence. Our discussion takes a hard look at the challenges ahead, emphasizing the urgent need for the organization's leadership to enact decisive reforms and redefine their mission to captivate a new generation of gun enthusiasts. We critically evaluate the NRA's strategic positioning, suggesting a bold reversal: to become immovable in their core gun rights advocacy while evolving in their cultural and educational outreach to align with technological advancements and shifting societal interests. Tune in as we offer a blueprint for the NRA's survival, with insights on appealing to a broader audience and securing a place in the future of American gun culture."
