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.

United States (April 21) - Federal Civil Procedure; Issue(s): Whether a litigant who files a notice of appeal after the ordinary appeal period under 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a)-(b) expires must file a second, duplicative notice after the appeal period is reopened under subsection (c) of the statute and Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4.Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. Zuch (April 22) - Taxes; Issue(s): Whether a proceeding under 26 U.S.C. § 6330 for a pre-deprivation determination about a levy proposed by the Internal Revenue Service to collect unpaid taxes becomes moot when there is no longer a live dispute over the proposed levy that gave rise to the proceeding.Mahmoud v.

Osseo Area Schools, Independent School District No. 279 (April 28) - ADA; Issue(s): Whether the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Rehabilitation Act of 1973 require children with disabilities to satisfy a uniquely stringent “bad faith or gross misjudgment” standard when seeking relief for discrimination relating to their education.Martin v.

Drummond (April 30) Establishment Clause, Education Law, Federalism and Separation of Powers; Issue(s): (1) Whether the academic and pedagogical choices of a privately owned and run school constitute state action simply because it contracts with the state to offer a free educational option for interested students; and (2) whether a state violates the First Amendment's free exercise clause by excluding privately run religious schools from the state’s charter-school program solely because the schools are religious, or instead a state can justify such an exclusion by invoking anti-establishment interests that go further than the First Amendment's establishment clause requires.

“One of the big differences between Canada and the United States on climate policy spending broadly is that unlike the United States, Canada has a national carbon pricing system. So, we have a carbon pricing system that sets a national minimum standard…. Without strategy, coordination, investment, we will be putting ourselves at a painful disadvantage in terms of not just the energy transition, but just geopolitically.”  Claire Seaborn on Electric Ladies Podcast  An independent analysis found that the renewable energy strategies in New York state may help insulate New Yorkers from the impact of the tariff crisis with Canada by the Trump administration. It turns out there's a lot the U.S. can learn from Canada's energy policies.  To find out, listen to Claire Seaborn, who was Chief of Staff to Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources for several years until recently, helping to develop key climate and energy policies. In this exclusive interview on Electric Ladies Podcast with Joan Michelson, Claire offers valuable insights into how those policies were developed and their impact. You'll hear about: What exactly Canadian energy and climate policies are and how they are working. How Canada developed its carbon pricing policies and how difference provinces are implementing them. The critical role of minerals in the energy transition and climate solutions, and how to manage this complex geopolitical issue. Plus, insightful career advice. “For anyone, women especially who are interested in the energy and climate space, I would say that you shouldn't feel that you need to choose between the public sector, the private sector, and the nonprofit sector. I've been able to continue to build my expertise in the energy and climate space, but from multiple different perspectives. My advice would be to just not feel that you need to pick one of those lanes and, and to take the risk to bounce between those different segments of our economy.”  Claire Seaborn on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes piece on Canada Tariff Fears: Does NY's Clean Energy Push Offer Protection? and more of her articles here.
