Podcast appearances and mentions of Jack Smith

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.

This Day in Legal History: People v. Ruggles and the Transposition of a “Common Law Crime”On June 11, 1811, the New York Supreme Court of Judicature decided People v. Ruggles, a seminal case in early American constitutional law and one of the rare recorded convictions for blasphemy in U.S. history. John Ruggles was convicted for publicly declaring in a tavern that “Jesus Christ was a b*****d and his mother must be a w***e,” and was sentenced to three months in jail and fined $500. What made the decision historically significant was Chancellor James Kent's justification: he upheld the conviction by transposing the English common law crime of blasphemy into American jurisprudence, despite the existence of a state constitutional provision protecting religious freedom.Kent argued that the free exercise clause of the New York Constitution—similar to the First Amendment—guaranteed religious tolerance but did not protect speech deemed immoral or dangerous to public order. He defined blasphemy as “maliciously reviling God, or religion,” and asserted that Americans, like the English, required religion-based moral discipline to maintain social cohesion. Crucially, Kent held that blasphemy applied only to Christianity, stating that “we are a Christian people,” and that moral and legal norms in the U.S. were “ingrafted upon Christianity.”This decision represented a foundational moment in American law by carrying forward a religiously grounded common law principle into a supposedly secular, constitutional framework. Kent cited Sunday observance laws and other religious references in law as evidence that Christianity remained embedded in the legal culture. He acknowledged tolerance for other religions but did not extend legal protection to speech critical of Christianity.The decision aligned with Justice Joseph Story's later view that Christianity underpinned American common law, but stood in contrast to the secularist interpretation advanced by figures like Thomas Jefferson. Though Kent's reasoning carried weight in his era, it would eventually lose ground. In Burstyn v. Wilson (1952), the U.S. Supreme Court effectively invalidated blasphemy laws, ruling that speech critical of religion was protected under the First Amendment.A federal appeals court has ruled that President Trump's sweeping tariffs may remain in effect while legal challenges to their legality proceed. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. paused a lower-court decision that found Trump exceeded his authority by invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs. The court called the matter one of “exceptional importance” and took the rare step of assigning it to the full 11-judge panel, with oral arguments scheduled for July 31.The tariffs in question include broad duties on imports from most U.S. trading partners—nicknamed “Liberation Day” tariffs—as well as separate levies targeting Canada, China, and Mexico. Trump has claimed that the tariffs are justified under IEEPA due to threats like fentanyl trafficking and the ongoing trade deficit. Critics argue these are not legitimate emergencies under the law and that only Congress has the constitutional power to impose tariffs.The original ruling striking down the tariffs came from the U.S. Court of International Trade on May 28, in lawsuits brought by five small businesses and twelve states led by Oregon. That court found Trump's use of IEEPA overreached presidential authority and misapplied a law designed for national emergencies. While disappointed by the stay, the plaintiffs emphasized that no court has yet upheld Trump's broad claims under IEEPA.Trump tariffs may remain in effect while appeals proceed, US appeals court rules | ReutersThe U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) recently dismissed two more employees who were involved in investigations concerning President Trump, bringing the total number of terminations related to those probes to 17 since Trump's return to power in January. One of the fired individuals had served as a lawyer on Special Counsel Jack Smith's team and previously prosecuted defendants involved in the January 6 Capitol attack. The other was a support staff member also tied to Smith's team. Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly ordered the dismissals. Although both had been reassigned to other DOJ divisions prior to their termination, their past involvement with the Trump investigations was cited as the likely reason for their firing.Earlier, on January 27, 14 attorneys were dismissed at once due to their work on Trump-related cases. In April, a longtime public affairs official who had represented Smith's team was also let go. The DOJ has not officially commented on the recent terminations. Trump has persistently claimed that the Justice Department unfairly targeted him for political reasons, though Smith's team consistently rejected that narrative in court. These firings raise new concerns about political influence over the DOJ's personnel decisions.US Justice Department fires two tied to Trump probes, people familiar say | ReutersA group of Tesla owners in France has filed a lawsuit against the automaker, claiming that CEO Elon Musk's public behavior and political alignments have caused them reputational harm. Represented by law firm GKA, about ten leaseholders are asking the Paris Commercial Court to cancel their vehicle contracts and recover legal costs. They argue that Tesla cars, once seen as eco-friendly innovations, are now perceived as far-right symbols due to Musk's vocal support for Donald Trump and Germany's far-right AfD party.The plaintiffs allege that Musk's political affiliations and controversial gestures—such as one during Trump's inauguration that was likened online to a Nazi salute because it was absolutely a Nazi salute—have made Tesla ownership socially and professionally damaging. The group also cites Musk's involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a Trump-backed initiative to reduce public spending, as further evidence of his deep political entanglements. Public backlash against Musk has included protests and vandalism at Tesla showrooms across Europe and the U.S.This lawsuit comes amid declining Tesla sales in Europe, where customers are increasingly turning to competitively priced Chinese EVs. GKA emphasized that its clients purchased Tesla vehicles for their environmental and technological appeal, not as political statements. Tesla has not yet responded to the lawsuit. Musk recently acknowledged regretting some of his remarks on X, the platform he owns, after a public dispute with Trump.Some French Tesla drivers file lawsuit over harm allegedly caused by Musk's behaviour | Reuters This is a public episode.

It's June 9th, 2025, and the past few days in Donald Trump's legal world have been nothing short of a whirlwind. Wherever you look, Trump's name dominates the courtroom headlines—legal drama never seems far from the former president.Just last week, Trump's ongoing legal saga was marked by a remarkable sequence: four separate court losses reported within just hours of one another. These setbacks added to an already heavy legal calendar, where the courts from New York to Florida continue to shape not only his post-presidency legacy but also the political landscape as the 2024 election aftermath lingers.In New York, Donald Trump was sentenced on January 10, 2025, in a case that has drawn relentless national attention. The outcome—an unconditional discharge—meant he avoided jail time, but the courtroom battles were anything but over. Trump's lawyers quickly moved to appeal both the final decision and earlier summary judgments, ensuring the legal fights would continue. Letitia James, the New York Attorney General, successfully requested consolidation of these appeals, accelerating the appellate process through a single record and set of briefs.Meanwhile, in Florida, the classified documents case made headlines again. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, on July 15, 2024, had granted Trump's motion to dismiss the indictment based on questions around Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment and funding. The government's legal team counterpunched, filing an appeal with the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The back-and-forth over classified documents—an issue that has haunted Trump since leaving office—remains unresolved, the case's fate depending on appellate rulings that could take months.Elsewhere, in Georgia, the legal chess match continued as Mark Meadows, Trump's former Chief of Staff, petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court after an unsuccessful attempt to move his own criminal case out of state court. Trump and his co-defendants are also appealing various procedural rulings by Georgia Judge Scott McAfee, with oral arguments grouped together for efficiency—a testament to the tangled nature of the sprawling Fulton County election interference case.In the Manhattan hush money prosecution, Trump sought once more to move District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case to federal court, but Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied his request, and the higher courts rejected subsequent appeals.One legal defeat might be news for any former president. For Donald Trump, four setbacks in a single day were just the latest chapter. The trials grind on, with lawyers on all sides burning the midnight oil, and the nation tuned in to every new development as the 2024 election's legal echoes ripple through 2025.

Good morning, America. The legal saga surrounding Donald Trump continues to unfold with significant developments in recent days. Today is June 6th, 2025, and the Trump administration has once again turned to the Supreme Court, this time seeking large-scale reductions in the federal workforce. This move, made just three days ago, marks another chapter in Trump's contentious relationship with government institutions.The Trump administration's legal battles have been numerous and complex. Looking back at the timeline, Trump's New York criminal case reached a conclusion earlier this year. After being found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records by a Manhattan jury on May 30th, 2024, Trump received his sentence on January 10th, 2025, when Justice Merchan handed down an unconditional discharge.In the classified documents case in Florida, we saw a dramatic turn last summer when Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the federal indictment against Trump on July 15th, 2024. Her ruling stated that Special Counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed and funded. The Justice Department initially appealed this decision to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals but ultimately dismissed the appeal against Trump on November 29th, 2024. By January 29th of this year, the Justice Department had also dismissed appeals against Trump's co-defendants, Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira.The legal calendar for Trump has been packed with other significant events as well. Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has petitioned the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari following the 11th Circuit's decision to dismiss his attempt to move his Georgia criminal case to federal court.In the New York civil fraud case, Trump and other defendants have filed appeals against Justice Engoron's September 2023 summary judgment and February 2024 final decision. The Appellate Division has granted New York Attorney General Letitia James's request to consolidate these appeals.Meanwhile, defendants are appealing Judge McAfee's order regarding motions to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis in Georgia. Although each appellant has an individual case number, all oral arguments will be heard together.Trump has also made another attempt to remove Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's state prosecution to federal court. After his second notice of removal was rejected as deficient and Judge Hellerstein denied his request for leave, Trump appealed to the Second Circuit.As the legal battles continue to unfold, the Trump administration's recent move to seek workforce reductions through the Supreme Court signals that the intersection of law and politics remains as active as ever in the Trump era.

Just a few days ago, the latest chapter in Donald Trump's legal odyssey unfolded—one that's been captivating the nation. On May 30, 2024, in a packed New York City courtroom, a Manhattan jury delivered a historic verdict: former President Trump was found guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. This was the culmination of the People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump, a case that began with accusations that Trump had manipulated financial documents to conceal information during the 2016 campaign. The trial, presided over by Justice Juan Merchan, started back on April 15, 2024, and the verdict marked the first time a former U.S. president was convicted of felony crimes after leaving office.The world watched as Justice Merchan handed down his sentence on January 10, 2025. Trump received an unconditional discharge, meaning he won't serve jail time but the felony convictions remain on his record. This outcome reverberated far beyond the courtroom, fueling debate across political, legal, and public spheres.But New York is only one front in Trump's legal battles. Down in Florida, another high-profile prosecution took center stage. On June 8, 2023, Trump, along with aides Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, was indicted in the Southern District of Florida, accused of retaining classified national defense information, obstructing justice, and making false statements. By July 15, 2024, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dropped the federal indictment, arguing that Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment was flawed. The government swiftly appealed, but by November 29, 2024, the Justice Department dismissed its case against Trump, and by January 29, 2025, cases against his aides were dropped too.Trump's legal calendar is dense with ongoing appeals and litigation. In New York, Trump's legal team filed appeals against both Justice Engoron's earlier summary judgment and the final February 2024 decision in his civil fraud case. The Appellate Division, First Department, has consolidated these appeals, and the parties are in the thick of written arguments. Back in Georgia, legal wrangling continues in the sprawling case against Trump and allies over alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election, with appeals regarding District Attorney Fani Willis's role all being heard together and oral arguments scheduled.Amid this legal storm, Donald Trump remains a dominant figure in American politics and headlines. Each courtroom drama brings new twists, sparking fierce reactions from supporters, critics, and legal experts alike. With appeals grinding forward and new legal challenges constantly surfacing, the courtroom battles involving the former president show no sign of slowing as the country follows every development.

Elon's last day as a special government employee was on Friday, he and President Trump held and epic press conference in the Oval Office. Meanwhile in California, Cory Booker was giving his Democratic constituents the fellow Nazi salute. There is no getting around it, Spartacus, the record holder for the longest speech on the Senate floor is a Nazi. Secretary of Treasury, Scott Bessent was back on Face The Nation to humiliate Margaret Brennan on the economy and tariffs, once again. Today, my guest is Christina Bobb, she was the attorney for President Trump present at Mar-a-Lago the day the FBI decided to raid. After months of President Trump and his team cooperating with Biden's DOJ and government officials, the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago on August 8, 2022. In this exclusive interview, Christina gives us details about the experience. The FBI actually prevented Christina from observing what they were doing and tried to incriminate her personally when it came to the documents in question. Jack Smith and his outrageous lawfare was an extreme abuse of government power. Christina advocates for the current Trump administration to shut down government weaponization as next time these people come into power, there is no telling what they will do.

Good morning, viewers. The legal battles surrounding Donald Trump continue to evolve as we head into June 2025. Today marks one year and three days since a Manhattan jury delivered a historic verdict that made Trump the first U.S. president or former president to be convicted of a felony.On May 30, 2024, Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records as part of an alleged scheme to influence the 2016 election through hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Despite the conviction, Trump received no prison time, fines, or probation when New York Judge Juan Merchan sentenced him to an unconditional discharge this past January, stating it was the "only lawful sentence" to avoid "encroaching upon the highest office in the land."The fight isn't over, though. In just nine days, on June 11, a federal appeals court in Manhattan will hear oral arguments in Trump's renewed effort to move his criminal case from state to federal court. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg opposes this motion, arguing that cases can't be relocated to federal court after conviction. Trump's legal team maintains that this "unprecedented criminal prosecution" of a former and current president belongs in federal jurisdiction.Meanwhile, Trump's legal victory in Florida remains intact. Last July, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the federal indictment against Trump related to classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago, ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed and funded. While Smith initially appealed the decision to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, the Justice Department ultimately dismissed the appeal against Trump in late November 2024, and later dropped appeals against his co-defendants Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira in January 2025.In more recent developments, President Trump's tariff policies faced significant setbacks last week. On May 31, two separate federal court orders were issued within 24 hours that could substantially undermine his trade agenda.As Trump navigates these ongoing legal challenges, the intersection of his presidency and his legal troubles continues to create unprecedented constitutional questions. The upcoming June 11 hearing may provide clarity on whether state courts can maintain jurisdiction over a sitting president's criminal conviction, or if federal courts should assume control.For now, Trump remains in office while continuing to contest the legal framework surrounding his New York conviction, creating a remarkable chapter in American legal and political history that continues to unfold before our eyes.

It's been a whirlwind in the courts these past few days, and Donald Trump's legal saga remains at the center of national headlines. Just three days ago, on May 30, 2024, in Manhattan, a historic verdict shook the political landscape—Trump was found guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The charges stemmed from allegations that he orchestrated the falsification to conceal damaging information during his 2016 presidential campaign. The trial, officially titled “The People for the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump,” kicked off April 15, 2024, and with unprecedented media attention, jurors quickly became household names and Judge Juan Merchan's courtroom a focal point for heated debate.After weeks of testimony, cross-examination, and high legal drama, the jury delivered a resounding verdict: guilty on every count. Then, on January 10, 2025, Judge Merchan issued the sentence. While many speculated about possible prison time or hefty penalties, the sentence was an unconditional discharge—meaning Trump avoided incarceration or probation, but carries 34 felony convictions on his record. The country watched as Trump exited the courthouse, defiant as ever, vowing to appeal and framing the result as politically motivated, only further energizing his base.Meanwhile, down in Florida, another major courtroom battle unfolded. Special Counsel Jack Smith led the prosecution against Trump in the Southern District of Florida. This time, charges focused on Trump's handling of classified documents after leaving office. The indictment was sweeping: 32 counts for willfully retaining national defense information, alongside counts of obstruction of justice, making false statements, and interfering with a federal investigation. Trump wasn't alone—his longtime aide Waltine Nauta and Mar-a-Lago's property manager Carlos De Oliveira were also named as defendants.But on July 15, 2024, Judge Aileen Cannon ignited controversy of her own by dismissing the federal indictment, ruling that Jack Smith's appointment and funding as special counsel were improper. The Justice Department did appeal, but by November 29, 2024, it dropped its appeal against Trump, and two months later, on January 29, 2025, dropped it against his co-defendants as well.Through all of this, the courtroom has become a political stage, with Trump's legal battles fueling his continued national prominence. Jury verdicts, sentencing hearings, and surprise judicial rulings have turned legal language into front-page news and daily conversation across America. These past few days have only reinforced that in Donald Trump's world, the courtroom is as much a battleground as any campaign trail.

Alright, here we are—almost the end of May, and the legal rollercoaster around Donald Trump is still bucking and racing. Just a few days ago, on May 22, the Supreme Court made a dramatic move. In Trump v. Wilcox, the justices granted an emergency stay, allowing Trump—for now—to remove heads of federal agencies at will, no cause needed[3][1]. That decision threw the administration's power plays into high relief, especially for anyone watching how Trump handles bureaucratic pushback. Justice Kagan issued a note on the case, underscoring the split among the justices about the scope of presidential authority.But while that was unfolding in Washington, the broader litigation landscape around Trump was already buzzing. Over the past several days, courts across the country have been juggling cases that put Trump and his policies—current and past—under scrutiny. Take, for instance, the coalition of states like California and New York, which just sued the Trump administration over frozen transportation funds[2]. That case, filed on May 13, is only one thread in a tapestry of lawsuits tracking everything from environmental regulations to immigration policies.Meanwhile, in Florida, the saga of the classified documents case continues to twist. Last year, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed part of the indictment, but the government appealed, putting Jack Smith's special counsel appointment back in the spotlight[4]. The Eleventh Circuit is now set to hear arguments, and the legal teams are deep in briefs. That's just one of many appeals—Trump's legal calendar is crammed. Mark Meadows, his former Chief of Staff, is still seeking a Supreme Court review after failing to move his Georgia case to federal court[4]. Down in New York, Trump is appealing Justice Arthur Engoron's civil fraud judgments, while his allies fight to disqualify Fulton County DA Fani Willis.Not to be overshadowed, the refugees and advocates in Pacito v. Trump are still pushing for the government to implement a court-ordered framework for resuming refugee admissions—something the Trump administration had suspended. On May 5, the district court doubled down, ordering prompt compliance with its preliminary injunction[5]. That clock is ticking, too.So, as of this very moment, May 28, 2025, Donald Trump is everywhere in the legal system—from the Supreme Court's emergency docket to district courts and circuit appeals. Each case, each ruling, each appeal is another snapshot of a former president still shaping the law and being shaped by it, as courts across the country wrestle with questions about power, policy, and the rule of law. It's fast-moving, high-stakes, and far from over.

Good morning, I'm reporting live on the recent legal developments involving former President Donald Trump. The past few days have seen significant movement in several high-profile cases.Just three days ago, on May 22, the Supreme Court issued a ruling in the case of Trump v. Wilcox, with Justice Kagan delivering the opinion. This case represents one of many ongoing legal battles the Trump administration is currently facing.That same day, two transgender service members filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging President Trump's ban on transgender individuals serving in the U.S. military. This case, identified as 1:25-cv-01918, adds to the growing list of litigation against the administration.Last week, on May 16, the Supreme Court delivered a per curiam opinion in the case between AARP and President Trump. The Court vacated the judgment of the Fifth Circuit and remanded the case back for further consideration. At issue was President Trump's March 14 Proclamation under the Alien Enemies Act, with the Court enjoining the government from removing named plaintiffs or putative class members under this act pending further court orders.The Supreme Court also recently ruled on Trump's authority to remove agency heads without cause. This decision, while temporary, represents a significant expansion of presidential power over the federal bureaucracy.These recent court battles come after a long string of legal challenges that began years ago. Trump has faced numerous criminal and civil cases, including the classified documents case in Florida where Judge Cannon granted Trump's motion to dismiss the superseding indictment in July 2024, challenging Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment.The New York civil fraud case also saw defendants, including Trump, filing appeals against Justice Engoron's earlier decisions. In Georgia, Trump's former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows petitioned the Supreme Court following the 11th Circuit's decision regarding his attempt to move his state criminal case to federal court.The Manhattan District Attorney's case against Trump has also seen continued legal maneuvering, with Trump attempting to remove the case to federal court in August 2024, though his filing was initially rejected as deficient.As Trump continues his presidency in 2025, these legal challenges represent a consistent theme of his time in office - a presidency defined not just by policy decisions but by unprecedented legal battles that continue to test the boundaries of executive power and the American judicial system.The coming days and weeks will likely bring further developments in these cases as the courts continue to grapple with complex constitutional questions surrounding presidential authority and accountability.

Today is May 16, 2025, and I've been closely tracking the flurry of courtroom drama surrounding Donald Trump. It's felt like headlines haven't had a break—just keeping up with the sheer amount of legal action attached to Trump's name is dizzying.One of the most heated developments happened in Florida, where Judge Aileen Cannon granted Trump's motion to dismiss the superseding indictment in the classified documents case. The government, not backing down, filed its notice of appeal to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals almost instantly. The briefing schedule is now underway, and the legal fight over whether Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment and funding were lawful is far from settled. The stakes here are significant, given how central these classified documents are to the larger question of presidential privilege and accountability.Meanwhile, in New York, Trump's legal team is navigating a different path. They've appealed both Justice Arthur Engoron's summary judgment from September 2023 and his final decision from February 2024 in the civil fraud case. New York Attorney General Letitia James moved to consolidate the appeals. Now, the Appellate Division, First Department, has ordered that all arguments will proceed together. The appeals center on whether Trump and his companies fraudulently inflated property values and other assets—an issue that has both civil and political consequences hanging in the balance.Georgia is another hot spot, especially with Mark Meadows petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court. He wants to move his state-level criminal case to federal court after the Eleventh Circuit denied his bid. Though this move didn't directly involve Trump, it's part of the wider universe of prosecutions linked to efforts to overturn the 2020 election.And back in Manhattan, Trump has once again attempted to lift his criminal prosecution by District Attorney Alvin Bragg into the federal courts. His latest filing for removal was rejected for being untimely, a setback he tried to counter by seeking Judge Alvin Hellerstein's permission—denied yet again. Now, Trump's team is appealing to the Second Circuit, with briefs due later this year.If all that weren't enough, just yesterday at the Supreme Court, the justices heard oral arguments in Trump v. CASA Inc. The dispute centers on birthright citizenship and the reach of executive power, stemming from an executive order Trump issued on his inauguration day this year. Multiple district courts have already blocked the order, and the Supreme Court will now weigh in, with implications for citizenship itself and, likely, for the 2024 campaign narrative.In every jurisdiction, from Florida to New York, Georgia to the highest court in the land, Donald Trump faces a legal calendar as relentless and high-stakes as any in American history. Each court date, each appeal, every ruling shapes not only Trump's personal future but America's ongoing clash over law, power, and politics.

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 to you live on May 12, 2025, with the latest updates on the various legal proceedings involving former President Donald Trump.The past week has brought significant developments in Trump's legal landscape. Just three days ago, on May 9th, Trump unveiled his first round of judicial nominees for his second term. These selections have already sparked intense debate across political circles, with critics expressing serious concerns about the qualifications and ideological positions of nominees like Whitney Hermandorfer.Looking back at Trump's recent legal battles, perhaps the most notable was his New York criminal case. On January 10th of this year, Justice Juan Merchan delivered the sentencing for Trump following his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The Manhattan jury had found Trump guilty of all charges on May 30th, 2024, in a trial that captivated the nation for weeks. Despite the felony convictions, Justice Merchan ultimately sentenced Trump to an unconditional discharge, meaning no jail time or probation was imposed.The classified documents case in Florida took a dramatic turn last year when Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the entire federal indictment against Trump on July 15th, 2024. Her ruling stated that Special Counsel Jack Smith had been improperly appointed and funded. Though Smith initially appealed to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, the Justice Department ultimately dismissed the appeal against Trump on November 29th, 2024, effectively ending that prosecution. The appeals against Trump's co-defendants, Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, were similarly dismissed in late January of this year.Trump's legal calendar has been extraordinarily complex, with multiple cases proceeding simultaneously across different jurisdictions. Court records show a flurry of legal filings throughout late 2024, with numerous decisions, orders, and letters filed in the New York case alone between November and January.As Trump now shifts focus to his judicial appointments, the legal battles that dominated headlines throughout 2023 and 2024 appear to be largely resolved. The outcomes of these cases have undoubtedly shaped the political landscape as Trump begins his second term.This is just the latest chapter in what has been an unprecedented period in American legal and political history. I'll continue to bring you updates as new developments emerge in this extraordinary saga.

Good morning, America. I'm standing here today, May 11th, 2025, reflecting on what has been an unprecedented legal journey for former President Donald Trump. Just four months into 2025, and the aftermath of numerous court battles continues to shape our political landscape.Back in January, we witnessed the conclusion of the Manhattan criminal case where Trump faced charges of falsifying business records. On January 10th, Justice Merchan delivered his sentence - an unconditional discharge - following the Manhattan jury's verdict from May 30th last year that found Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts. This marked the first time in American history that a former president was convicted of felony crimes.Meanwhile, the classified documents case in Florida took a dramatic turn. Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the entire indictment against Trump last July, ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed and funded. The Justice Department initially appealed to the 11th Circuit but ultimately dropped their 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 for Trump has been relentless. Just yesterday, news broke that the Supreme Court is preparing to review what critics have described as a "power grab" by the President. The justices will be examining the constitutional limits of presidential authority in a case that could have far-reaching implications.Trump's legal team has been working overtime, filing appeals in multiple jurisdictions. In the New York civil fraud case, Trump and his co-defendants have appealed both Justice Engoron's September 2023 summary judgment and his February 2024 final decision. The Appellate Division consolidated these appeals at the request of New York Attorney General Letitia James.In Georgia, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has taken his case all the way to the Supreme Court, seeking to move his state criminal case to federal court after the 11th Circuit dismissed his previous attempt.Trump himself has made another attempt to remove Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's state prosecution to federal court, though his filing was rejected as deficient and his request for leave was denied by Judge Hellerstein. His appeal to the Second Circuit is still pending.As we move deeper into 2025, these legal battles continue to unfold against the backdrop of Trump's controversial judicial appointments, which many legal experts have characterized as transformative for the federal judiciary. The intersection of legal proceedings and politics remains a defining feature of our current moment in American history.

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.

Good morning everyone, it's May 2nd, 2025, and the legal saga surrounding former President Donald Trump continues to unfold at a dizzying pace.In just eleven days, we'll see a major collision of two significant elements in Trump's legal battles. The Court of International Trade is scheduled to hear oral arguments on May 13th in one of the growing number of lawsuits challenging Trump's sweeping tariff policies. These cases make compelling legal arguments that the tariffs lack proper authorization under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, which Trump has been using as justification.The Liberty Justice Center has filed a motion for a nationwide injunction to halt these tariffs, representing V.O.S. Selections and four other small businesses who claim the tariffs threaten their very existence.But here's where it gets interesting – just two days after that, on May 15th, the Supreme Court will consider whether to limit judges' authority to issue such nationwide injunctions. The Court will hear arguments about the Trump administration's appeal to overturn injunctions blocking Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship.Looking at recent developments, we've seen significant movement in several other Trump cases. On January 10th of this year, Justice Merchan sentenced Trump to unconditional discharge following his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in Manhattan.In the classified documents case, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the federal indictment against Trump last July, ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed and funded. Smith appealed to the 11th Circuit, but the Justice Department dropped the appeal against Trump in November and against his co-defendants in January.Just last month, on April 7th, the Supreme Court issued a per curiam decision in Trump v. J.G.G., a case involving the detention and removal of Venezuelan nationals believed to be members of Tren de Aragua.And yesterday, May 1st, we saw a Texas federal court rule against the Trump administration on the Alien Enemies Act in the case of JAV v. Trump, brought by the ACLU of Texas.The legal calendar remains packed with various appeals. Mark Meadows has petitioned the Supreme Court following the 11th Circuit's dismissal of his attempt to move his Georgia criminal case to federal court. Meanwhile, defendants in the New York civil fraud case have filed appeals against Justice Engoron's decisions, and several defendants are appealing Judge McAfee's order regarding their motions to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis.As these cases continue to wind through the courts, the implications for both Trump personally and broader executive power in America remain profound and far-reaching.

The past several days have been a whirlwind in the ongoing legal saga surrounding Donald Trump. Most notably, all eyes have been on the aftermath of his conviction in New York. Last year, on May 30, 2024, a Manhattan jury found former President Trump guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, charges tied to hush money payments that shook the political world. Fast forward to this January, Judge Juan Merchan sentenced Trump, but in a move that left both critics and supporters buzzing, the sentence was “unconditional discharge.” That means Trump faces no jail time or probation, but the record of conviction stands, marking a historic moment as the first time a former U.S. president was convicted of a felony.Meanwhile, Trump's legal battles in Florida took an unexpected turn. Last summer, in the Southern District of Florida, Trump, along with his aide Waltine Nauta and Mar-a-Lago employee Carlos De Oliveira, faced a blockbuster federal indictment. They were charged with willfully retaining national defense information, obstruction of justice, interfering with a federal investigation, and making false statements—charges stemming from classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago. The nation waited for a high-stakes courtroom showdown, but on July 15, 2024, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case. Her ruling focused not on Trump's conduct, but rather on the appointment and funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith, deeming them improper. The Justice Department quickly appealed, but by late November, they dropped the appeal against Trump. On January 29, 2025, the remaining appeals against Nauta and De Oliveira were also dismissed. The sudden end to this federal case stunned legal observers and injected even more uncertainty into an already chaotic legal landscape.Elsewhere, Trump continues to face civil litigation and ongoing scrutiny over his executive actions, particularly regarding immigration and funding for so-called “sanctuary cities.” San Francisco and other municipalities have lawsuits pending that challenge his administration's orders to withhold federal funds from sanctuary jurisdictions, citing constitutional violations.As of today, with the criminal cases in New York now concluded and the Florida charges dismissed, Donald Trump's legal fate remains a fiercely debated topic. This past week crystallized two things: Trump's unique place in American legal history, and the volatile, unpredictable nature of his court battles. From the hushed halls of Manhattan criminal court to the federal courthouse in Florida, each trial has not only tested the boundaries of law and precedent but has kept the nation riveted at every turn.

Chief Judge Boesberg is not only strongly considering appointing a “private attorney” like Jack Smith to prosecute the Trump Administration's “willful” criminal contempt of court, but is now considering whether to retain jurisdiction over the case to make sure the undocumented are given the due process “notice” our Constitution demands, as Trump files an appeal of the court's contempt finding.

The last several days in Donald Trump's courtroom saga have been nothing short of remarkable. Just last year, after a landmark trial in New York, Trump became the first former president to be found guilty on criminal charges. The Manhattan jury convicted him on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records—charges stemming from the so-called “hush money” case, allegations that Trump covered up payments meant to influence the 2016 election. In a surprise decision, Judge Juan Merchan sentenced Trump on January 10, 2025, to an unconditional discharge, meaning Trump avoided jail time and probation. This outcome left supporters relieved but critics calling for more accountability, and, unsurprisingly, Trump used the moment to rally his political base, declaring vindication while vowing to continue his agenda.Meanwhile, in the federal courts, the legal tides shifted dramatically following Trump's return to the White House. The two high-profile federal criminal cases—one in Florida regarding classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, and another in Washington D.C. related to accusations of obstruction and conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election—were both dismissed soon after his inauguration. In Florida, Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment was improper, dismissing the indictment. The Justice Department eventually dropped its appeal, effectively ending prosecution in both the classified documents and obstruction matters. In D.C., Judge Tanya Chutkan granted a government motion to dismiss, closing the chapter on one of the most watched legal battles tied to January 6th.However, the courtrooms have not emptied. In the past month, drama erupted over President Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act. The administration deported over 100 Venezuelan nationals, alleged gang members, to El Salvador, even as federal Judge James Boasberg ordered those planes turned back to the United States. Plaintiffs' lawyers argued Trump's team violated the judge's order, and Judge Boasberg himself accused the administration of “bad faith” for rushing removals before the courts could weigh in. Although the Supreme Court later allowed further deportations, citing jurisdictional issues, the episode inflamed debate about executive power and the rule of law.In parallel, President Trump has issued a flurry of executive orders, including directives to repeal regulations inconsistent with recent Supreme Court decisions, further polarizing the broader national conversation. Across the country, every courtroom appearance, filing, and headline ensures that the legal fights surrounding Donald Trump remain central to American life, driving both the news cycle and the ongoing political divide.

It has been a whirlwind few days following the legal twists and turns surrounding former President Donald Trump. Despite his re-election in 2024, a string of legal battles from his pre-presidential period continues to unfold, captivating the nation. The New York case, the first of these, has its roots in charges dating back to March 2023. Trump was indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records, and by May 2024, a Manhattan jury found him guilty on all charges. However, in a surprising turn of events this January, Justice Juan Merchan sentenced him to "unconditional discharge," essentially sparing him prison time but leaving the conviction intact. Critics argue this leniency undercuts accountability, while supporters claim it reflects judicial fairness.Turning south, the Southern District of Florida case centered on classified documents Trump allegedly mishandled after leaving office. Initially charged with 32 counts of willfully retaining national defense information and several counts of obstruction and false statements, the case took a dramatic turn last summer. Judge Aileen Cannon, citing issues with the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith, dismissed the indictment. Although the Justice Department appealed, it eventually withdrew its challenge last fall, effectively dropping the case. This decision remains controversial, with pundits debating whether judicial missteps or political strategies were at play.In Washington, D.C., Trump's legal challenges included accusations of obstructing the certification of the 2020 election results. However, the Supreme Court intervened, sending the case back to the lower courts. By December 2024, the government moved to dismiss the charges, leading Trump's allies to claim vindication, while critics lamented what they see as yet another missed opportunity for justice.Meanwhile, in Fulton County, Georgia, Trump was charged alongside 18 others for attempting to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results. This case, still active, is one to watch. Prosecutors in Georgia are determined to hold Trump accountable, but his legal team has mounted aggressive defenses.Beyond these cases, Trump's recent executive actions as president have sparked fresh legal disputes. His controversial initiatives, such as requiring undocumented immigrants to register or face penalties, and a directive bypassing the traditional public comment process to repeal regulations deemed unlawful, have been challenged in court. Advocacy groups argue these measures violate due process and constitutional principles, while Trump's administration claims they are necessary for national security and efficient governance.These trials and executive decisions are reshaping Trump's legacy, intertwining legal drama with political action. As the courts grapple with these cases, the nation waits, watching history unfold in real-time.

We open with a Friday favorite and that's Tara Bull's Top 10 News stories the Legacy/mainstream media likely didn't cover for you this week. We then dive into an interesting few stories that seems to indicate several investigations are underway. DNI Tulsi Gabbard mentioned evidence of voting machine hacks and manipulation. John Solomon discusses more evidence that the Biden White House coordinated their lawfare attacks on Trump with Jack Smith. In Senate testimony, there is work underway to see if the intelligence community and/or law enforcement were behind the violence of January 6. And, Trump signed an order stripping Chris Krebs of his clearance while an investigation is taking place regarding his involvement in the 2020 election integrity work he did. Peter Navarro is curious why the Legacy/mainstream media cannot find anything good to say about the Trump tariff strategy? Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) had to admit that the strategy worked better than he could have imagined. On the flipside, elitists on the Left wonder if the upending of the world economy is worth it just to create some HVAC jobs. The Space Force base commander in Greenland, Colonel Susan Meyers has been relieved of command for flagrant insubordination. We are learning the Biden regime buried information that dozens of U.S. military personnel contracted COVID-19 while on an exercise in Wuhan in late 2019, BEFORE the virus supposedly was even released. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) says food and homes cost so much because Trump is deporting all of the migrants who do those jobs. The Left really wants to keep the slave labor class intact, don't they? Finally, Gen Z'ers discover it is cheaper to brew their own coffee at home and Donald Trump wants Congress to keep the clocks where they are. Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) has a bill to do just that.

House Oversight drops bombshell news that it has whistleblower proof that Biden's White House directly assisted Jack Smith's J6 probe into Trump that led to his "election interference" indictment.... and secretly obtained Trump's cell phone. The Supreme Court gives Trump another win and DOGE uncovers billions of dollars (and Medicaid assistance) going to millions of illegals who, yes, have voted in our elections.

The courtroom drama surrounding Donald Trump has remained at the forefront of public attention in recent days, offering a riveting glimpse into the legal crossroads of politics. As of today, April 7, 2025, the former president is enmeshed in various high-profile legal battles that range from past allegations to ongoing executive actions.Let's start with New York, where Trump's conviction for falsifying business records concluded earlier this year with a sentencing of unconditional discharge. It was a moment of legal history as a former president was held accountable on 34 felony charges tied to altering financial documents in an effort to obscure hush money payments. The battle began back in 2023 and reached a dramatic climax last May when a Manhattan jury delivered its verdict. Though the sentencing was lenient, the conviction itself is a landmark.Meanwhile, in Florida, the prosecution's case against Trump for mishandling classified national defense documents faced a stunning reversal. Originally, Trump was accused of willfully retaining sensitive materials and obstructing justice. However, in July 2024, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed federal charges, citing improper actions by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Although the Department of Justice fought to reinstate the case, federal appeals ultimately sided with the defense by year's end, effectively closing this chapter.Washington, D.C., adds another layer of complexity. Trump was indicted for his alleged role in obstructing the certification of the 2020 election results, marking one of the most politically charged cases against him. Though the trial date initially set for March 2024 was delayed amid debates over presidential immunity, the prosecution ultimately dropped the charges last December, a quiet conclusion to what many expected to be a sensational case.In Fulton County, Georgia, Trump faces yet another legal storm. Here, he and several co-defendants were charged with conspiracy related to efforts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results. While much of the legal wrangling remains preliminary, this case could resurface with significant consequences as the calendar advances.Beyond the courtroom, Trump's presidency continues to spark legal challenges related to his controversial policies. Specifically, his executive orders targeting sanctuary cities and his expansion of migrant deportations have ignited fierce litigation nationwide.

Is Europe really the “stalwart” of democracy? While the radical Left in America failed to imprison President Donald Trump, their Europeans counterparts are having a successful time prosecuting their political enemies, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “Europe is copying the lawfare of the United States. Remember that Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, Jack Smith, and E. Jean Carroll, in civil and criminal suits, for four years tried to destroy Donald Trump. And they had over $400 million in fines that were leveled at one point. And there were 91 felony indictments… “Ms. Le Pen, the head of the most conservative party in France, who has got enormous momentum. Enormous momentum, because, of the violence of radical Islamic groups, inside France. The open borders, the dissatisfaction with the blank check, given Ukraine, etc., I could go on and on… “[The high court] said that she had expropriate funds, campaign funds. In other words, that she was blending—does this sounds familiar—blending her own campaign with funds allotted from the European Union, for other purposes. In other words, there was a difference—a distinction without a difference. “In other words, they only applied this law to her because they were terrified she was going to win, in the next presidential election.” Watch the full epsiode now!

What is actually in these orders, and how bad is it that one of leading litigation firms in the country gave in to Trump's demands without  a fight? And what will it mean for the already-overloaded immigration court system when they start going after immigration lawyers as they have also promised? Former NYC Biglaw associate (and current NYC public defender) Liz Skeen joins to help us to understand this uniquely un-American moment in American legal history.

In this week's Main Justice episode, hosts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord explore a disturbing pattern of the Trump administration's attack on lawyers and what it means for the rule of law, as firings and demotions continue to reverberate around the federal government. They examine the firing of the three top nonpartisan military JAG lawyers without cause— and why Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth referred to these officers as ‘roadblocks'. They look at Trump's decision to revoke security clearances from a law firm with ties to former Special Counsel Jack Smith. And they update a few cases on their radar, to include the firing of Hampton Dellinger as well as the latest in the case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. And before closing, Andrew and Mary zoom out to look at how the Trump administration is redefining the US's role in world, after voting against a UN resolution that condemned Russian aggression in Ukraine, ignoring violations of international law.Further reading: Here is the latest statement from the ABA that Andrew spoke about: The ABA rejects efforts to undermine the courts and the legal profession.And soonest, we'll add a link here to the letter Andrew and Mary talked about in this episode: A Statement of Conscience and Principle By Those Who Have Served as Assistant United States Attorneys For the District of Columbia Over the Past Fifty Years.Want to listen to this show without ads?

Shotgun and Jack break down all the action, looking at the Trojans' outstanding Cadens starting pitching duo of Caden Hunter and Caden Aoki as well as discussing the success of the bottom of the lineup. USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz then joins the show to talk about the Trojans getting off to a much better start to the 2025 season at 9-2 so far than last year when they were 4-12 through the first four weeks. He discusses what a win over Vanderbiilt means and why he didn't try to check his team showing emotion after the victory over the Commodores. Stankiewicz also provides an injury update on sophomore outfielder Kevin Takeuchi and breaks down how the coaching staff decided to put Ethan Hedges on the mound as a two-way player this season. After talking with Stankiewicz, Shotgun and Jack preview a big week of action as the Trojans have a midweek matchup with No. 16 UC Santa Barbara before opening Big Ten play against a top 10 Oregon team.

Elon Musk, Dan Scavino, and other figures close to President Trump appear to be seriously pushing to dismantle the IRS. With the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) now influencing the agency, layoffs have already begun, sparking widespread discontent. Momentum is building for a major overhaul, with proposals for a flat tax and tariffs—potentially dubbed 'The ERS'—emerging as replacements for the current tax system. Next, Peter Bernegger joins the show to expose senators caught 'smurfing' and provide an update on Tina Peters. But the surprises don't stop there: Pam Bondi's push for another red flag law raises questions about her motives, Trump scores a decisive victory over Jack Smith, and rumors swirl that the FBI may be targeting James Comey. Tune in for all this and more on today's unfiltered episode of Untamed!  

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down a second strong week to open up the 2025 USC baseball season with the Trojans picking up four wins and improving to 7-1 overall, finding ways to win close games against Big West foes UC Irvine and Cal State Fullerton, dominating Cal State Bakersfield and splitting a pair of hard-fought games on the road at Rice. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action, comparing the Trojans' strong start to the opening of the 2024 season when USC couldn't seem to get over the hump in close games early in the season. They discuss the standouts of the 4-1 week, including relievers Grant Govel and Garren Rizzo, who each had impressive scoreless outings. Fourth-year junior shortstop Bryce Martin-Grudzielanek then joins the show to talk about his hot start to the season as he's hitting .323 with seven RBIs and knocked his first homer on Tuesday. BMG talks about being able to get out on the new Dedeaux Field for the first time Wednesday and discusses the differences from last season when he dealt with a wrist injury ("it sucked") to this season's fast start for the Trojans through two weeks. He also discusses why he decided to come back to USC after being drafted in the 20th round last year and what it took to get his mother, a former UCLA softball player, to finally put on some cardinal-and-gold attire. After talking with Martin-Grudzielanek, Shotgun and Jack preview an upcoming 10-day stretch that could define the season for the Trojans as they take on Connecticut, No. 14 Vanderbilt and UCLA this weekend and a midweek matchup with No. 20 UC Santa Barbara before opening Big Ten play against No. 11 Oregon next weekend.

Trump's time in the oval office has been nothing short of impressive. But it's time to take more sweeping measures that he can't execute alone.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, if you want to learn about birthright citizenship, the wrong place to go is the Sunday shows. Listen to this show if you want to understand the 14th Amendment, its history, what it was based on, and the people who were involved. Margaret Brennan is on Face The Nation to advance her leftwing ideology. She claims a Reagan Judge in Seattle shot down the Trump executive order on birthright citizenship. That Judge was appointed by Reagan as part of a compromise. He's a liberal activist and a Biden sycophant – not a Reaganite. Also, Acting Attorney General James McHenry has fired the prosecutors who worked for special counsel Jack Smith. This is a good first step, but only a first step. Smith must be held legally and ethically responsible for what he did to our country. Later, today is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. So many millions lost their lives as they were horribly and systematically murdered. It's being reported that 8 of the remaining 26 hostages being held by Hamas are dead. The left will blame Benjamin Netanyahu for the dead hostages because he wouldn't give into Hamas' demands. Sick.  Afterward, Republican RINOs in the Florida legislature, led by the hapless House speaker, watered down Governor Ron DeSantis's immigration enforcement bill intended to support President Trump's deportation policy. DeSantis calls in and explains that this watered-down bill should be called the swamp act – it doesn't help Trump at all. The DeSantis immigration deportation reform agenda needs to be pushed and passed.  Finally, President Trump should get the cabinet he wants. If this is the team he wants, he should get it after his enormous victory. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Attorney General Merrick Garland has just released special counsel Jack Smith's report on his investigation into January 6 and Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election. What did we learn? And why was it released now? Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss in an excerpt from the CAFE Insider podcast.  In the full episode, Preet and Joyce further discuss the report, including Smith's notable cover letter, the evidence Smith outlines in the case against Trump, and Trump's reaction to the report. They also break down Trump's sentencing in Manhattan for his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records. Did Trump receive a fair sentence? And why did the Supreme Court permit the judge to proceed with sentencing despite Trump's request for delay? CAFE Insiders click HERE to listen to the full analysis.
