The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/31/2023): 3:05pm- On Thursday evening, news broke that former President Donald Trump would be indicted for his role in allegedly providing hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016. Corinne Ramey and Joe Palazzolo of The Wall Street Journal write: “The substance of the charges aren't public for now and are expected to remain sealed until Mr. Trump makes an initial appearance in court, likely on Tuesday afternoon. He is first expected to report to the district attorney's office, where he will be arrested, fingerprinted and photographed.” According to claims made by Trump's attorney, the former president will not accept any plea deal. You can read their full report here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-lawyer-hits-airwaves-to-attack-new-york-indictment-9fb00702?mod=hp_lead_pos1 3:15pm- On Thursday night, in response to news of former President Donald Trump's indictment, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tweeted: “The Grand Jury has acted upon the facts and the law. No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence. Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect the system, which grants him that right.” In response to Pelosi's preposterous claims of a “trial to prove innocence”, Twitter quickly fact checked the statement, citing Cornell Law School: “Ms. Pelosi mistakenly says that Trump can prove his innocence at trial. Law in the US assumes the innocence of a defendant and the prosecution must prove guilt for a conviction.” 3:25pm Attorney Kate Shaw—Law Professor at Yeshica University & an expert on Constitutional Law—appeared on ABC News and seemingly questioned whether Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has jurisdiction to indict Donald Trump. Two-minutes into the interview, host George Stephanopoulos seemingly cut her off and immediately moved on from what she said. 3:40pm- While appearing on ABC News, Donald Trump's Attorney Joe Tacopina condemned the Manhattan District Attorney's office for bringing politically driven charges against the former president. Tacopina claimed the indictment is based upon “rumors and leaks.” 3:50pm- In his latest editorial for National Review, former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Andrew C. McCarthy writes: “Alvin Bragg, the elected progressive Democrat who ran for Manhattan district attorney as the candidate most likely to wield his power against Donald Trump, crossed the Rubicon on Thursday… If reports are to be believed, it is not merely an unworthy exercise of prosecutorial discretion. It is one that will threaten the legitimacy of the justice system—on the public acceptance of which the rule of law hinges.” You can read McCarthy's full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/03/bragg-crosses-the-rubicon-indicting-trump-on-stormy-daniels-nonsense/ 4:05pm- Zack Smith—Legal fellow and manager of the Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy Program in Heritage's Meese Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a New York grand jury deciding to charge former President Donald Trump for his alleged involvement in hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election cycle. Smith contends Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office has several major hurdles he'll have to clear in order to prove guilt including the character flaws of his star witness, Michael Cohen, who is a disbarred attorney that has pled guilty to lying before Congress. 4:15pm- While appearing on CNN, New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman claimed that indictment and arrest scare Donald Trump. 4:25pm- How much time has network television dedicated towards Biden family corruption allegations? Not much. Including zero coverage from ABC, CBS, and NBC…shocking! While speaking with Fox News' Jimmy Failla, Congressman James Comer (R-KY) revealed that preliminary House investigations into the Biden family suggest that there are between five and seven Bidens who have received money from China. 4:30pm- Who Won Social Media? Rich gives it to himself for making fun of Nancy Pelosi. Is he allowed to do that? 4:35pm- While speaking with members of the press during her visit to Zambia, Vice President Kamala Harris declined to comment on the indictment of former President Donald Trump. Is Zambia a Texas border town, by chance? 4:45pm- Todd Shepherd—Chief Investigative Reporter at Broad + Liberty—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest report, “Sen. Casey Tight-Lipped Over Potential Stock Sale Reporting Violation.” You can read the full article here: https://broadandliberty.com/2023/03/29/sen-casey-tight-lipped-over-potential-stock-sale-reporting-violation/ 5:05pm- The Drive at 5: According to reports, former Donald Trump's arraignment will take place at 2:15pm on Tuesday in New York. 5:10pm- According to a report from Adam Klasfeld of Law & Crime, right-wing Twitter troll Douglas Mackey has been convicted of interfering in the 2016 presidential election for his role in creating “deceptive” texts and memes. Isn't this type of speech parody and, subsequently, protected under the 1st Amendment? 5:20pm- Chris Pratt hilariously mocked Instagram users who claimed they were offended by his recurring “snack of the day” social media posts. 5:40pm- According to a report from The New York Post, CBS News executives have barred reporters from using the word “transgender” while covering the actions of the Nashville, Tennessee shooter—a biological woman who identified as male. Meanwhile, ABC and NBC news ignored rioters—advocating on behalf of gun control legislation—who forced their way into Tennessee's state capitol in Nashville on Thursday. 5:45pm- Speaking from the Senate floor, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) argued for a ban of the social media application TikTok—citing its parent company's, ByteDance, close connections to the Chinese government. In a compelling rebuttal, Sen. Rand Paul argued that a ban would violate the 1st Amendment and that by censoring content the U.S. government would, ironically, adopt the policies of the Chinese Communist Party. 5:55pm- While visiting Rolling Fork, Mississippi on Friday, President Joe Biden vowed that “the town of Rolling Stone will be back” following a destructive tornado. 6:05pm- Jimmy Failla—stand-up comedian & Fox News Radio host—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the craziness that is sure to occur during Trump's arraignment in New York on Tuesday, the complexities of being an obese protestor, and the irony of porn star Stormy Daniels making money from WEARING clothes! You can hear The Best of Jimmy Failla every Saturday on 1210 WPHT. 6:25pm- Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has been released from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after receiving weeks of treatment for severe depression.

The shocking, definitive account of the lawyers and media tycoons who enabled the rise of Donald Trump, featuring new revelations from a Pulitzer Prize-winning Wall Street Journal teamWith his blunt-force fame and the myths he's propagated about himself, Donald Trump has always moved in a world of gossip barons, crooked lawyers, and porn stars. But when he became the Republican nominee for the presidency in 2016, all of these characters crawled out from the underbelly of Trump's stardom and stumbled onto the global stage with him.In The Fixers, Joe Palazzolo and Michael Rothfeld have produced a deeply reported and exquisitely drawn portrait of that world, full of secret phone calls, hidden texts, and desperate deals, unearthing the practice of “catch and kill” by which Trump surrogates paid hush money to cover up his affairs, and detailing Trump's historic relationship with his fixers—from his early, influential relationship with Roy Cohn to his reliance on Michael Cohen, National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani. It traces the arc of their interactions from the 1970s through the 2016 campaign and beyond. It is a distinctly American saga that navigates the worlds of reality TV, cash-for-trash tabloids, single-shingle law shops, celebrity bashes, high-end real estate, pornography, and politics. The characters and settings of this book are part of a vulgar circus that crisscrosses the country, from New York to L.A. to D.C.

What role do ethics violations play in the degradation of our democracy? The Trump administration left behind a legacy of profound corruption, egregious conflicts of interest, and outrageous self-dealing. The Wall Street Journal has reported on over 130 judges who have violated conflicts of interest laws.

This week on EJBTalks Stuart Shapiro talks to two amazing Bloustein alums, Leah Apgar and Joe Palazzolo, who work at New Jersey Community Capital (NJCC), a community development financial institution. Leah and Joe share the history and typical work of the organization, which was established in 1987 as an affordable housing lender and has grown into a financing institution involved in all types of community development and commercial lending projects. They talk about how the pandemic and economic shutdown required their institution to pivot its work to assist suffering small businesses. They began considering all small businesses and nonprofits in the state as underserved and started the Garden State Relief Fund (GSRF) as a remedy. They conclude with a discussion about where NJCCs work goes from here, and how the GSRF will remain in place to adapt to assist NJ small businesses as the economy continues to recover. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ejbtalks/message

Law360's Pro Say - News & Analysis on Law and the Legal Industry
News of hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal rocked the White House and eventually led to the downfall of President Donald Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen. We are joined this week by the Wall Street Journal’s Joe Palazzolo, who broke that story and has co-authored a new book that dives deep into the world of Trump’s “fixers.” Also this week: Martin Shkreli finally gets his day in court...again, and K&L Gates is hit with a discrimination lawsuit for firing an employee with ADHD.
On today's Bulwark Podcast, Joe Palazzolo and Michael Rothfeld join host Charlie Sykes to discuss their new book: The Fixers: The Bottom-Feeders, Crooked Lawyers, Gossipmongers, and Porn Stars Who Created the 45th President (https://www.amazon.com/Fixers-Bottom-Feeders-Crooked-Gossipmongers-President/dp/0593132394). Special Guests: Joe Palazzolo and Michael Rothfeld.
The shocking, definitive account of the lawyers and media tycoons who enabled the rise of Donald Trump, featuring new revelations from a Pulitzer Prize-winning Wall Street Journal team With his blunt-force fame and the myths he's propagated about himself, Donald Trump has always moved in a world of gossip barons, crooked lawyers, and porn stars. But when he became the Republican nominee for the presidency in 2016, all of these characters crawled out from the underbelly of Trump's stardom and stumbled onto the global stage with him. In The Fixers, Joe Palazzolo and Michael Rothfeld have produced a deeply reported and exquisitely drawn portrait of that world, full of secret phone calls, hidden texts, and desperate deals, unearthing the practice of “catch and kill” by which Trump surrogates paid hush money to cover up his affairs, and detailing Trump's historic relationship with his fixers—from his early, influential relationship with Roy Cohn to his reliance on Michael Cohen, National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani. It traces the arc of their interactions from the 1970s through the 2016 campaign and beyond. It is a distinctly American saga that navigates the worlds of reality TV, cash-for-trash tabloids, single-shingle law shops, celebrity bashes, high-end real estate, pornography, and politics. The characters and settings of this book are part of a vulgar circus that crisscrosses the country, from New York to L.A. to D.C. Terrifying, darkly comic, and compulsively readable, The Fixers is an epic political adventure in which greed, corruption, lust, and ambition collide, and that leads, ultimately, to the White House. Advance praise for The Fixers “Of the dozens of books chronicling Donald Trump's presidency, The Fixers is destined to sit atop the pile. It has everything you look for in a political page-turner: Colorful characters, intrigue, sex, corruption and—unlike much of the Trump canon—meticulous, factual reporting by two ace reporters. What a read!”—John Carreyrou, New York Times bestselling author of Bad Blood

Starting in 2016, a team from the Wall Street Journal, lead by reporters Michael Rothfeld and Joe Palazzolo, uncovered evidence that Donald Trump personally orchestrated a criminal scheme to suppress damaging sexual allegations, despite denials by the president. The coverage sparked a federal criminal investigation into campaign-finance abuses that will soon land the president’s longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen, in prison. In this episode of the Shorenstein Center podcast, Heidi Legg talks to Michael Rothfeld and Joe Palazzolo about how the found the story, the lengths they went to uncover evidence, and the expected and unexpected outcomes of their ongoing reporting. This episode is part of the Shorenstein Center's special series of interviews with the finalists for the 2019 Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Journalism. The Goldsmith Prize winner will be announced at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government on March 12, 2019. Music provided by ExtremeMusic.com

The American Bar Association has recently tipped its hand, showing how very partisan it has become. Joe Palazzolo, writing at the Wall Street Journal, reports that “tensions between Senate Republicans and the bar association, the largest organization of lawyers in the nation, have escalated in recent weeks after the ABA pronounced a Nebraska lawyer unfit to serve on the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.” Why? Because of his, “‘deeply-held social agenda.'' The nominee, Mr. Steven Grasz, said that a member of the ABA evaluation committee who interviewed him repeatedly referred to Republicans and conservatives as “you guys” or “you people” and also asked for Mr. Grasz's personal views on abortion, the death penalty and adoption by same-sex couples. Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska got it exactly right when he said, “We should completely dispel with the fiction that the American Bar Association is a fair and impartial arbiter of facts.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Why have prison populations exploded? Yeah, we bet you have an opinion on this. But we’ve got someone on the show with the math: Fordham law prof and empiricist extraordinaire John Pfaff. Everything you think you know about our staggering levels of imprisonment are probably wrong. Also, we offer to set up the Supreme Court audio live stream. Also we report on one listener’s Oral Argument power rankings. This show’s links: John Pfaff’s faculty profile and writing Blakely v. Washington and United States v. Booker United States v.
