Podcasts about The Trump Organization

June 14, 2026, 9 AM; Much of the hype and money that is surrounding the event has spurred controversy, with critics saying it reeks of corruption. President Trump and some of his allies could personally benefit from the fight. The Trump Organization has also promoted a line of "Freedom 250" themed silver and gold medallions, priced from $250 to $12K, tied to the event. The "No Kings" movement will hold a counter-event to protest Trump's policies and what organizers calling "strongman politics." Sen. Cory Booker (NJ-D) joins The Weekend to discuss the latest on the UFC Freedom 250 event, Men's Mental Health, the Iran conflict and the confirmation of Todd Blanche to as Attorney General.

Donald Trump Jr. und Eric Trump nutzen die zweite Amtszeit ihres Vaters für die eigene Bereicherung. Als Co-CEOs der Trump Organization verkaufen die Brüder weltweit den Zugang zum mächtigsten Mann der USA. Sie agieren dabei als Türöffner. Ausländische Regierungen und private Investoren, die auf politischen Einfluss oder lukrative Staatsaufträge hoffen, investieren massenhaft in die Projekte der Familie. Das milliardenschwere Business der Familie erstreckt sich mittlerweile weit über das Immobiliengeschäft hinaus. Mit eigens herausgegebenen Kryptowährungen generiert der Trump-Clan zusätzliche Einnahmen in dreistelliger Millionenhöhe.

Shownotes The nature of peace talks and conflict resolution has radically changed. Historically, most wars end with political settlements, usually the result of formal negotiations. The prototypical modern peace talks were hosted a major or mid-size power that wasn't a party to the conflict, negotiated by professional diplomats and technical experts, and implemented with some international oversight by the United Nations or a group of governments. Recent wars have departed from this script. Negotiations these days occur in all manner of venues. There are secret or semisecret talks by unofficial emissaries, sometimes known as “track two diplomacy.” There are official talks managed by tiny powers like Qatar and Oman, all the way to powerful but new players in the peacemaking space, like China. And official superpower diplomacy in the current era looks nothing like the old: today, the US president's personal lawyer and son in law, with no staff, try to negotiate peace agreements and simultaneously private deals for the Trump Organization. Michael Wahid Hanna has followed many of the peace talks, successful and failed, of recent decades. On this episode of Order from Ashes, he takes stock of how the peace negotiations have changed, and whether we should downgrade our expectations for what diplomacy can  Participants Michael Wahid Hanna is US program director at International Crisis Group. Thanassis Cambanis is director of Century International.  Date: Thursday, June 4, 2026 Episode: Order from Ashes 115

The past few days in Donald Trump's court battles have felt less like a series of hearings and more like a rolling stress test on the American legal system, and you can feel it in every courtroom doorway he walks through. In New York, the criminal hush money case that once sounded almost technical has turned into a running clash over what accountability looks like for a former president. NBC News and CNN have reported on how Trump's lawyers are pressing hard on appeal issues and potential challenges to any sentence, arguing that prosecutors stretched state law by tying business record falsification to federal election crimes. At the same time, New York court reporters describe a judiciary trying to show that the rules of evidence, contempt warnings, and jury instructions apply even when the defendant is Donald J. Trump. You hear it when judges remind the parties that public statements outside the courthouse can still threaten the integrity of the trial inside. Shift to the federal election interference case in Washington, and the word that hangs over everything is immunity. According to reporting from the New York Times and the Washington Post, Trump's team has been leaning hard on the argument that actions he took while president, including pressuring officials about the 2020 election, should be shielded from criminal liability. Special Counsel Jack Smith's prosecutors have pushed back, pointing to Supreme Court precedent that no person, not even a president, is above the law. Legal analysts at outlets like Justia and Oyez note that recent Supreme Court arguments in presidential power cases are being watched as a proxy battle over how far that immunity can stretch. Then there is Georgia, where the Fulton County election case has been mired in fights over District Attorney Fani Willis and allegations of conflicts of interest. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the last several days have been dominated less by jury selection and more by hearings on whether Willis can stay on the case, and whether the racketeering charges against Trump and his allies are being wielded too broadly. It is a reminder that the Trump trials are not just about one man, but about the prosecutors, judges, and local jurors pulled into a national storm. Meanwhile, civil cases continue to ripple in the background. News outlets like Reuters and the Associated Press have described how New York's civil fraud judgment, with its massive financial penalties and monitoring of the Trump Organization, is now intersecting with the criminal cases. Every appeal deadline, every bond posting, becomes another data point in whether a former president can run for office while under extraordinary legal constraint. Across all of this, commentators on Court TV and major networks keep returning to the same point: these cases are testing the seams between politics and law. Jurors are told to decide only on evidence and statutes, while knowing the entire world is watching. Judges are forced to balance free speech rights against the risk of intimidating witnesses and poisoning a jury pool. And listeners are left tracking multiple dockets at once, watching the same name appear in New York, Washington, Georgia, and beyond. As these past days have shown, none of these trials moves in isolation. A ruling on presidential immunity in one courtroom reshapes strategy in another. A contempt warning in New York echoes into how Trump speaks on the courthouse steps in Washington or Atlanta. The story is no longer just about verdicts, but about whether the system can hold together when the defendant is a former and possibly future president.

Uważamy te prawdy za oczywiste: że wszyscy ludzie zostali stworzeni równymi, że ich Stwórca przyznał im pewne niezbywalne prawa, a wśród nich są prawo do życia, wolności i dążenia do szczęścia. Tak głosi Deklaracja Niepodległości Ameryki. I właśnie prezydent Trump jako głowa państwa dąży do szczęścia. Daje przykład swoim rodakom. Oto, w wyniku ugody na mocy której Trump zrezygnował z pozwu przeciw amerykańskiemu Urzędowi Podatkowemu na 10 miliardów dolarów, za ujawnienie danych z jego zeznań podatkowych w ostatnich latach poprzedniej kadencji, rząd USA, na którego czele stoi Trump, wydał dokument, zgodnie z którym "na zawsze wykluczone i zakazane" jest prowadzenie audytów zeznań podatkowych Donalda Trumpa, jego synów Donalda Juniora i Erica, a także holdingu Trump Organization, a także ściganie ich za ewentualne nieprawidłowości w rozliczeniach z fiskusem. Pewnie po tym Trump zebrał rodzinę i powiedział jak Marian Opania do Janusza Gajosa w Piłkarskim pokerze: to my teraz możemy wszystko! To jest rodzina na swoim!

Mea Culpa welcomes Tristan Snell. The former New York Assistant Attorney General famously lead the civil prosecution in the Trump University case for the state of New York against the Trump Organization. The 2013 case found the Trump Org guilty; forcing them to pay out $25 million in restitution. Snell spent years scaling the walls of the Trump Organization, largely creating the playbook for defeating Donald Trump in court. Ultimately, he said, it's about the receipts, not the witnesses. To beat Trump you need indisputable proof, a smoking gun and that only comes from having the documents to prove it. Snell is the founder of Main Street Law and appears as a commentator on CNN, and serves as a contributing writer for the Washington Post. His work as a lawyer and founder has been featured in a wide array of media outlets, from the New Yorker to the Atlantic to Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. He joins me today on Mea Culpa as the nation goes on indictment watch for the Mango Mussolini. Snell believes that the government has the goods this time and Trump may actually go to prison. Listen in.

Tom and Drew break down a stacked news day starting with the Trump DOJ signing off on a $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization" settlement that wraps up Trump's pending lawsuits and grants tax-investigation immunity to him, Donald Jr., Eric, and the Trump Organization for any returns filed before the investigation date. Tom unpacks why this functions as a soft self-pardon, why the slush fund framing is structurally dangerous regardless of the merits, and why presidents need to operate knowing every move will be scrutinized after they leave office. From there, the guys get into Trump claiming he paused a bombing campaign against Iran an hour before it was set to launch at the request of GCC nations, US bond yields hitting their highest level since 2007, and the AIPAC-funded primary takedown of Thomas Massie in Kentucky — the one Congressman wearing a pin tracking the national debt, now removed by lobby money in the most naked display of money-in-politics this cycle. Tom delivers an extended argument on the overproduction of elites — why too many people are being pushed into white-collar tracks the economy can't reward, how this fuels the resentment cycle driving political instability, and why historical empires (including pre-Revolution France) collapsed under the same dynamic. He walks through the Niall Ferguson book on the Rothschilds as a case study for understanding the meta-rules of how the world actually works, and pushes back hard against the Jeff Bezos pitch to exempt lower earners from federal taxes — arguing that everyone paying in is the only mechanism that keeps the government accountable. Plus: Mark Zuckerberg's leaked audio explaining why Meta is recording employee computer use to train AI amid the layoffs, why Tom is heading to Piers Morgan to debate AI displacement, how Kobe Bryant's pivot from basketball to filmmaking models the right mindset for navigating technological disruption, Ashley St. Clair's claim that Elon had access to 2024 election data, and Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson saying she "felt seen" being called a communist by Trump. This one is dense. Tom is in deep-dive mode the whole episode, particularly on the central banking and inflation theft mechanics that he argues are the real engine behind almost every political fight currently dominating the news cycle.

May 19, 2026Department of Justice announces $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund," Administration continues to blame others for actions that they themselves are doing, The fund is not part of a legal settlement of Trump's case against the IRS, which Trump has withdrawn, But Trump has reached an agreement with the DOJ, giving him full control of the fund, Trump loyalists are looking to compensate participants in the January 6 insurrection, The agreement was then amended to add a blanket promise to stop all IRS audits of Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization, Described as a "pardon on steroids,” it appears intended to stop the government from convicting Trump of tax evasion, Meanwhile, Trump held a press conference to talk about the White House ballroom.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

This Day in Legal History: Homestead ActOn May 20, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act into law, creating one of the most consequential land distribution systems in American history. The statute allowed eligible settlers to claim 160 acres of federal land, so long as they lived on it, improved it, and cultivated it for a required period of time. At a basic level, the law treated land ownership as something that could be earned through residence and labor rather than purchased outright. That idea made the act especially powerful for many farmers, immigrants, formerly enslaved people, and poor white settlers who otherwise had limited access to property. But the promise of “free land” was never as simple as it sounded.Much of the land made available under the Homestead Act had already been occupied, used, or governed by Native nations, and federal land policy often operated alongside removal, broken treaties, and military force. The act therefore expanded private property rights for some while deepening dispossession for others. It also reflected the federal government's growing role in shaping settlement, agriculture, and economic development across the West. By requiring claimants to improve and farm the land, Congress used property law to encourage a particular vision of citizenship: independent, landowning, agricultural, and tied to national expansion. Over time, the law transferred vast amounts of public land into private hands. By the 1930s, roughly 270 million acres had been distributed under the Homestead Act, about 10% of the land area of the United States. Its legal legacy can be seen in debates over public lands, Indigenous sovereignty, property ownership, and the federal government's power to define who gets access to opportunity.Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told senators that a nearly $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” tied to President Trump's IRS settlement is “not a slush fund,” but there are several reasons to treat that assurance cautiously. The DOJ says Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization will accept only a formal apology and no direct damages, while the fund will be available to other people who claim they were victims of government “weaponization” or “lawfare.” The problem is that DOJ has not clearly defined who qualifies, what proof is required, or what would disqualify someone from receiving money. When Sen. Chris Van Hollen asked whether people who assaulted police officers on January 6 could apply, Blanche did not rule it out and instead said anyone could apply if they believed they were a victim. Blanche also said he would not personally write the eligibility rules, though senators noted he will appoint most of the commissioners who will oversee the fund. DOJ's public announcement says the fund was created as part of Trump's settlement with the IRS after Trump agreed to drop his lawsuit over the leak of his tax documents.The comparison to the Obama-era Keepseagle settlement is shaky. Keepseagle involved a discrimination case brought by Native American farmers and was approved by a federal judge, while this fund appears to be created through a settlement involving the sitting president and the IRS, without the same kind of judicial approval described here. Democrats also objected that Obama was not personally a plaintiff in Keepseagle, while Trump is directly connected to this settlement. The most legally significant part may be the addendum saying the IRS is permanently barred from examining certain Trump-related tax matters, including returns filed before the settlement's effective date. That makes the deal look larger than a privacy settlement over leaked tax documents, because it may also limit future tax enforcement. Even Senate Majority Leader John Thune said there are “a lot of questions” the administration will have to answer, which is a notable sign that concern is not limited to Democrats.$1.8B IRS Deal Fund ‘Not Slush Fund,' Blanche Tells Senators - Law360Workers at another Wells Fargo branch have moved to drop their union, showing that a once-fast-moving labor campaign inside the bank has lost momentum. The Communication Workers of America gave up representing nine employees at a Wilmington, Delaware, branch after one worker sought a vote to decertify the union. That branch had voted unanimously to unionize in early 2024 and was part of a broader organizing push that brought hundreds of Wells Fargo workers at 28 locations into the union. The campaign was notable because union representation is extremely rare in U.S. banking, where less than 1% of workers are unionized. Organizers had focused on complaints about understaffing, flat wages, sales pressure, and the lingering effects of Wells Fargo's fake-accounts scandal.The recent Delaware development is the fifth Wells Fargo branch where workers have ousted the union, with other decertifications in Florida, New Jersey, and North Carolina, and another petition pending in Wyoming. Wells Fargo said it supports employees' right to choose whether they want union representation. The anti-union National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, which has helped workers challenge union representation, framed the decertifications as evidence that employees are rejecting CWA involvement. The CWA, for its part, has blamed Wells Fargo for slowing contract talks and has accused the bank of retaliating against union supporters and cutting benefits at unionized branches. Wells Fargo denies wrongdoing and says delays are tied partly to the difficulty of negotiating some of the first union contracts in retail banking. The broader context is also unfavorable for unions, with fewer union elections held in 2025 than in 2024 and labor advocates arguing that changes at the National Labor Relations Board under President Trump have made organizing harder.Wells Fargo workers nix another union as tide turns in novel labor campaign | ReutersAnthropic is challenging the Defense Department's decision to label it a supply chain risk and bar it from government contracting, arguing that the move was an extreme response to a contract dispute over how its Claude AI models could be used. The dispute began during negotiations over the department's GenAI.mil platform, where the government wanted contract terms allowing all lawful uses of Claude, while Anthropic sought exceptions for mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons systems. Anthropic argued that the department's main theory was wrong because once Claude was deployed on the department's classified network, it would be air-gapped and Anthropic could not secretly interfere with it during a military operation. The company also said the government had less drastic options, such as declining to buy future Claude models, instead of using a blacklisting authority that had apparently never been used this way before. One D.C. Circuit judge seemed strongly skeptical of the government's action, calling the supply-chain-risk designation a major overreach. Other judges were less certain, asking whether the opaque and unpredictable nature of AI models could justify the government's concern that hidden limits might affect military uses.The government argued that Anthropic's own proposed red lines created a real operational risk, especially if the company expected officials to seek real-time exceptions during military activity. But the judges also pressed the government on why it needed such broad freedom to use AI, including for fully autonomous weapons, given known concerns about AI reliability. They also questioned why the department went straight to a supply-chain-risk designation instead of simply ending or narrowing the relationship. Anthropic said the government skipped required procedural steps, including a joint recommendation and a 30-day response period, before issuing the designation. The government claimed it had to act quickly because Claude was already being used on several Defense Department platforms. Anthropic countered that this urgency argument was weakened by the department's decision to phase out Claude over six months rather than immediately remove it.Anthropic Says Defense Dept. Smeared It Over AI Red Lines - Law360A Massachusetts judge refused to let Morgan & Morgan lawyer T. Michael Morgan appear in civil litigation against Harvard Medical School over the theft and sale of body parts from donated cadavers. The judge said Morgan's earlier sanction in a Wyoming case, where court filings included fake AI-generated case citations, showed a failure to meet basic ethical duties. Morgan had disclosed the prior sanction when asking to appear as an out-of-state lawyer in the Harvard case, but the judge said he did not explain enough about how he had changed his practices to prevent the same problem from happening again. The judge also criticized Morgan for procedural problems with the Massachusetts application, including not having local counsel submit it and paying the wrong fee.Morgan & Morgan said Morgan had accepted responsibility for the earlier mistake and that the firm had added safeguards around AI use. The underlying Harvard litigation involves families who say Harvard mishandled donated bodies after its former morgue manager, Cedric Lodge, stole and sold body parts; Harvard has condemned Lodge's actions but denies civil liability. Lodge was sentenced to eight years in prison in December. The ruling adds to a growing line of cases where lawyers have been sanctioned or warned for relying on AI tools without verifying the accuracy of legal citations.Lawyer barred from Harvard morgue scandal case over fake AI citations | Reuters This is a public episode.

Mea Culpa welcomes back Tristan Snell. The former New York Assistant Attorney General famously lead the civil prosecution in the Trump University case for the state of New York against the Trump Organization. The 2013 case found the Trump Org guilty; forcing them to pay out $25 million in restitution. Snell spent years scaling the walls of the Trump Organization, largely creating the playbook for defeating Donald Trump in court. Ultimately, he said, it's about the receipts, not the witnesses. To beat Trump you need indisputable proof, a smoking gun and that only comes from having the documents to prove it.” Nowadays, Snell is the founder of Main Street Law and appears as a commentator on CNN. He also serves as a contributing writer for the Washington Post, the New Yorker, the Atlantic, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. To name a few. Tristan joins Michael today in discussing Biden's potential run, women's rights, and if the Stormy Daniels case will ultimately be the case that takes Trump down. 

I never thought I'd be glued to the Supreme Court docket like this, but here we are on a crisp April morning in 2026, and Steve Bannon's legal saga just took a wild turn. Picture this: Stephen K. Bannon, the fiery former strategist to President Donald Trump, convicted back in 2022 for contempt of Congress after defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot. He served four months in federal prison, but now, SCOTUSblog reports that the Supreme Court, in its Monday order list, has sent his case back to the lower court. The Department of Justice has already filed a motion to dismiss the indictment entirely. It's a massive win for Bannon, clearing the path for his conviction to vanish just as Trump gears up for another White House run. Listeners, this feels like poetic justice in the endless Trump orbit legal battles—Bannon's loyalty to Trump never wavered, and now the courts might let him walk free.But hold on, because the Trump world's legal ripples don't stop there. Just days ago, on April 7, the justices also added a new case to their 2026-27 docket challenging veterans' benefit laws, though it's not directly tied to Trump. Still, the court's moves echo broader fights over executive power that Trump champions. Fast forward to this week, and Attorney General Pam Bondi—Trump's pick, confirmed earlier this year—has been flexing muscle through the Department of Justice's AI Litigation Task Force. Established back on January 9, 2026, this squad is primed to sue states over AI laws, arguing they burden interstate commerce or clash with federal rules. Baker Botts' AI Legal Watch notes it's all part of a White House push from March 20, including a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence that urges Congress to protect voices and likenesses from AI deepfakes—think Trump's image cloned without permission—while carving out spots for satire and news.Trump's influence seeps into procurement too. The General Services Administration dropped its "Basic Safeguarding of Artificial Intelligence Systems" clause on March 6, forcing companies to ditch their own AI terms for government deals, claiming ownership of custom tech, and sticking to American-made systems. It's a Trump-era clampdown on Big Tech, overriding commercial safety nets. Meanwhile, in a nod to hiring fairness that could hit Trump's business empire, Judge Rita Lin in the Northern District of California greenlit core age-discrimination claims in Mobley v. Workday on March 6. The ruling says the Age Discrimination in Employment Act covers job seekers, not just employees—huge for AI bias suits that might one day scrutinize Trump Organization practices.These threads weave a tapestry of Trump-shaped legal shifts: from Bannon's potential exoneration to AI battles shielding his brand. As federal preemption looms over state regs like New York's LLC Transparency Act, enforced since January 1, it's clear 2026 is reshaping the game.Thanks for tuning in, listeners.

Analiza biznesowego i finansowego imperium Donalda Trumpa oraz sposoby, w jakie on i jego najbliższa rodzina czerpią wymierne korzyści materialne z prezydentury. Eksperci omawiają działalność Trump Organization, inwestycje Jareda Kushnera na Bliskim Wschodzie oraz zwrot polityka w stronę rynku kryptowalut. Dyskusja podkreśla, że Trump wprowadził do polityki zagranicznej agresywne zasady biznesowe, co podważa międzynarodowe zaufanie do USA i zmienia system demokratyczny w stronę oligarchii. Rozmówcy zauważają również brak odpowiednich przepisów w Stanach Zjednoczonych, które skutecznie zapobiegałyby takim konfliktom interesów. Analiza obejmuje także wpływ tych działań na nastroje społeczne oraz postępującą polaryzację i radykalizację amerykańskiego elektoratu przed nadchodzącymi wyborami. Kiedy wszystko wokół się rozpada i układa na nowo, trzeba siąść i na serio pogadać. O co w tym wszystkim chodzi?

Depuis son retour au pouvoir, Donald Trump n'a eu de cesse d'utiliser la fonction présidentielle pour favoriser ses intérêts privés. Un phénomène abondamment documenté qui ne s'est pas arrêté avec le conflit au Moyen-Orient. En janvier 2026, le New York Times estimait que la fortune des Trump avait augmenté de 1,4 milliard de dollars en un an. Le président états-unien est un habitué du mélange des genres, n'hésitant pas à profiter de ses voyages présidentiels pour faire la promotion des projets immobiliers portant son nom. Officiellement dirigée par ses enfants, la Trump Organization est florissante : hôtel de luxe à Oman, complexes de golf en Arabie saoudite ou au Vietnam. Les gouvernements étrangers soucieux de s'attirer les bonnes grâces de la première puissance mondiale s'empressent d'accélérer les procédures. Le Vietnam a ainsi choisi d'ignorer ses propres règles pour autoriser l'implantation d'un terrain de golf sur le site d'un ancien cimetière en banlieue d'Hanoi. Un mois plus tard, l'administration Trump acceptait de baisser les tarifs douaniers imposés au Vietnam. Donald Trump a aussi multiplié les attaques en justice à l'encontre de grands groupes, notamment dans le domaine des médias. La plupart des entreprises ciblées ont préféré un règlement à l'amiable et verser plusieurs millions d'euros d'amendes au président états-unien que d'aller jusqu'à un procès, même quand leurs avocats leur prédisaient une victoire facile. Enfin, le clan Trump a su profiter comme personne de l'engouement pour les cryptomonnaies. Juste avant d'entrer en fonction, il a créé sa propre cryptomonnaie, offrant aux plus gros acheteurs un dîner privé et donc un accès à l'homme qui dirige la première puissance mondiale. Ses deux fils Eric et Donald Jr ont créé une société spécialisée dans les cryptomonnaies qui, d'après Reuters, leur a rapporté plus de 800 millions de dollars rien que dans les six premiers mois de 2025. À lire aussiComment Donald Trump a gagné un milliard de dollars grâce aux cryptomonnaies? Un pic de transactions suspectes juste avant une prise de parole de Donald Trump Un phénomène que la guerre au Proche-Orient n'a pas interrompu, bien au contraire. Alors que le monde est suspendu à la moindre déclaration de Donald Trump, plusieurs articles de presse s'interrogent sur des délits d'initiés d'un nouveau genre. Le 23 mars, par exemple, Donald Trump publie un message sur son réseau Truth Social dans lequel il explique renoncer temporairement à frapper les infrastructures énergétiques iraniennes comme il menaçait de le faire sous 24 heures. À l'ouverture des marchés, quelques minutes plus tard, le cours du pétrole chute fortement. Or quelques minutes seulement avant le message du président américain, les spécialistes ont observé un pic dans les transactions pariant justement sur une baisse du pétrole. Les traders ont eu du nez : en quelques minutes ce jour-là, ils se sont enrichis de plusieurs centaines de millions de dollars. Et ce n'est pas un cas isolé, la presse américaine en a repéré plusieurs autres ces dernières semaines au point de s'interroger : et si ces traders étaient informés à l'avance par des membres de l'administration ? Des soupçons renforcés par la multiplication d'opérations suspectes, en cryptomonnaies, faites sur des plateformes de pari en ligne et qui ont permis aux bénéficiaires d'engranger plusieurs dizaines de millions de dollars en pariant sur les actions de la Maison Blanche, comme l'enlèvement de Nicolas Maduro. À lire aussiVenezuela: à Caracas, la sidération après l'opération américaine et l'enlèvement de Nicolas Maduro Les investissements fructueux des fils Trump dans des start-up de défense Des soupçons qui touchent jusqu'au ministre de la Défense, Pete Hegseth. Le Pentagone a été obligé de démentir des informations publiées par le Financial Times l'accusant d'avoir cherché à acheter pour plusieurs millions de dollars d'actions de sociétés du secteur de la défense, quelques jours seulement avant les débuts de l'opération israélo-américaine contre Téhéran. Les investissements des fils du président états-unien, eux, sont indéniables. Eric et Donald Trump Jr. ont acheté pour plusieurs centaines de milliers de dollars d'actions dans des sociétés de drones, l'aîné siège même au conseil d'administration de l'une d'entre elles. Or les cours de ces entreprises ont explosé après la signature de plusieurs contrats avec le Pentagone. Enfin, difficile sur ce sujet de ne pas évoquer le cas de Jared Kushner. Le gendre de Donald Trump a beau n'occuper aucune fonction officielle au sein de l'administration, il se retrouve malgré tout à être l'un des deux négociateurs en chef du président américain, avec Steve Witkoff, l'émissaire de la Maison Blanche. Les deux hommes étaient engagés dans des négociations avec le régime iranien à Genève quelques jours seulement avant les premières frappes israélo-américaines. Mais Jared Kushner ne se contente pas de jouer les diplomates officieux, il est aussi un homme d'affaires, à la tête d'un fonds d'investissement qui a bénéficié de 2 milliards de dollars du fonds souverain saoudien ainsi que d'investissements du Qatar et des Émirats arabes unis. Le gendre du président états-unien incarne mieux que quiconque la confusion désormais établie entre l'intérêt général des États-Unis, celui d'États étrangers et les intérêts privés du clan Trump.

I never thought I'd be glued to my screen watching court battles unfold like a high-stakes thriller, but here we are in late March 2026, and Donald Trump's legal saga is heating up again. Just this week, on Monday, prosecutors from Special Counsel Jack Smith's team fired back hard against Trump's lawyers in the federal election subversion case stemming from the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Trump's attorney John Lauro had pitched an April 2026 trial date, claiming the 11.6 million pages of discovery documents were like stacking paper eight Washington Monuments high—imagine that, a towering mess of evidence they'd need years to sift through. But Molly Gaston, on Smith's team, called that nonsense in her reply brief, pointing out that about 65% of those docs were duplicates or already public, like stuff from the National Archives or Trump's own Truth Social posts and campaign rants. She noted three million pages even came from Trump's own associates, and the team front-loaded the key evidence right after Judge Tanya Chutkan's protective order back in August. ABC News reports this pushback underscores how Trump's camp is dragging feet to delay past elections, while Smith wants it fast—maybe even before the next presidential primaries kick off.Over in Florida, the classified documents case at Mar-a-Lago hasn't budged much lately, but Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, had set a May 2024 trial that got pushed around amid appeals. It's still simmering, with Trump accused of mishandling top-secret files after leaving the White House. Then there's Georgia, where Fulton County DA Fani Willis charged Trump with 41 counts of election interference, roping in big names like Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and David Shafer. Her push for a March 2024 start fizzled with delays, and appeals are flying—Trump's even trying to boot Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's hush money case to federal court for the second time, per Just Security's master calendar.Up in New York, the Stormy Daniels falsified records trial under Bragg was eyed for March 25, 2024, but it's tangled in motions. Don't forget the civil sides: New York AG Letitia James' $250 million fraud suit against the Trump Organization kicked off in October 2023, and E. Jean Carroll's defamation cases keep Trump in the hot seat over her 1990s assault claims. As of yesterday, March 26, the U.S. House Floor Proceedings streamed live, buzzing with political fallout—no direct Trump trial mentions, but you know it's rippling through Congress amid a DHS shutdown drama where President Trump vowed an emergency order to pay TSA agents, per KTLA's coverage with analyst Jessica Levinson.These overlapping calendars—federal probes, state indictments, civil suits—have Trump's team juggling depositions, like the one with Peter Strzok and Lisa Page back in 2023 that still echoes. Judge Chutkan's warned Lauro: keep posting inflammatory Truth Social jabs at Smith or her, and trial speeds up. Prosecutors say delaying to 2026 robs the public of a speedy trial. It's a legal marathon turning into a sprint, with Trump framing it all as election interference.Thanks for tuning in, listeners—come back next week for more.

David Waldman wishes us all all of the happy things today. Let's hope that the next Persian year turns out better. What do you bet that it isn't? Chuck Norris is dead. Tough news for Pete Hegseth, who will retire his "Chuck Norris"-labeled bottle of hand lotion today. Donald K. Trump denies that he's sending troops to Iran. Trump is sending troops to Iran. What Bibi wants, Bibi gets. The Kushner Iran war already costs more than Halliburton Iraq opening, but Donald hopes to make that up in ticket sales. At 96, civil rights leader Dolores Huerta divulged that Cesar Chavez raped her. Democrats self-flagellate. Republicans flagellate. In a Transylvanian twist, the Trump Organization is eyeing property in Romania. This includes Trump's signature luxury apartments built over a dump. A Trump tower is already on the drawing board. Kristi Noem gave $140 million to the guy who bankrupted his previous airline. Really though, the goal was never to "not" bankrupt future projects, it was to sugar up her Travel Blanky, Corey Lewandowski. Trump continues to shrink in all ways imaginable, hitting Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi with Pearl Harbor jokes. James Comey picked up another subpoena to wallpaper his bathroom. Jeanine Zero Pirro wants her Jerome Powell subpoenas unblocked so that she can keep her losing streak without any asterisks.  My neck of the woods has had 40-degree temperature swings, tornadoes, meteors and bigfeet infestations lately, and now this guy.

Hawk breaks down the overnight U.S. and Israeli joint military strikes on Iran, launched without Congressional approval while Trump was at Mar-a-Lago. The attack hit five or six locations across Iran, including the capital, with reports that a missile struck a girls' elementary school, killing 53 children between the ages of 7 and 12. Trump sent real estate developers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to negotiate with Iran before the strikes, a move Hawk puts in sharp context given Kushner's reported interest in Gaza beachfront development. Iran retaliated against U.S. military bases in Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE. The stated justifications for the Iran war shift depending on the day. Trump had previously claimed Iran's nuclear program was already eliminated. Now it's the reason for bombing. Regime change through air power alone has never succeeded historically, and with Iran's population of 92 million, the prospect of prolonged occupation and a refugee crisis of potentially 10 million people is very real. Financial ties between Trump, his family, and Gulf monarchies like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar raise serious questions about whose interests this war actually serves. Jared Kushner's financial backers and Trump Organization investments in the region are all part of that picture. Even inside MAGA, the backlash was immediate. Marjorie Taylor Greene called the administration "sick liars." Conservative commentators declared it the end of MAGA. Trump supporters who were promised America First and no forever wars are now watching another Middle East war unfold with no defined objective, no exit strategy, and no honest accounting of the cost.

In this week's episode, Elliot Berman and John Byrne cover a wide-ranging set of developments reshaping the global AML landscape. They open by marking the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine before diving into new regulatory, enforcement, and geopolitical stories affecting financial crime professionals. John highlights the Federal Reserve's request for comment on removing “reputation risk” from bank supervision and discusses ongoing litigation involving JPMorgan and the Trump Organization. The conversation then turns international: OCCRP's newly announced Anti-Corruption Hero Awards, revelations of European-made parts ending up in Russian military drones, and the European Center for Not-for-Profit Law's work on financial access for human rights defenders. Elliot and John also examine Australia's transition to a new AML/CFT regime and Canada's new financial intelligence initiative focused on extortion. Additional topics include the Treasury Inspector General's audit of FinCEN, IRS-CI's latest BSA data usage report, and U.S. cases involving cyber intrusions and tax fraud.

It's Tuesday, February 24th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Early Rain Covenant Church Hit Again China Aid reports of more communist persecution of the Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu, China.   Pastor Wang Yi is entering his seventh year in prison -- of a nine-year sentence.   But now, elder Li Yingqiang and his wife have been arrested for their commitment to Christ. His wife was released on bail, and encouraged friends on social media that “God's arrangements are always good.” Multiple churches in North America, and an organization in Australia, have designated the ninth of each month as a “Day of Fasting and Prayer for the Persecuted Church in China.”  Mexican National Guardsmen killed the most wanted cartel leader in the country Mexico is in turmoil this week, after Mexican National Guardsmen killed the most wanted cartel leader in the country, Nemesio Cervantes, a criminal known as “El Mencho.” So far, 34 drug cartel members are dead. Sadly, another 25 federal troops were killed in the ongoing conflict. European immigration numbers down Immigration numbers have dropped sharply in Europe. Britain records only 200,000 immigrants in 2025, down from 900,000 in 2023.  Eurostat's Migration and Asylum report indicates a 13% drop in asylum applicants to European Union countries in 2024. That's the first drop since 2020.  And October 2025 numbers indicate a 28% drop compared with October 2024. European Parliament refused to affirm only women can get pregnant The Parliament of the European Union voted 340-141 to artificially redefine the definition of what a woman is. The Parliament also refused to affirm the biological fact “that only women can become pregnant.” German Parliament member Tomasz Froelich blasted the new guidance. He said, “This isn't about courtesy or pronouns. It's about law, language, and the destruction of biological clarity in public policy.” The new law opens the continent up to “the full recognition of trans women as women,” directly opposing God's created gender roles. In Matthew 19:4, Jesus asked, “Have you not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female?” Reform UK lacked traction; Will Restore Britain thrive? As The Worldview reported on February 19th, Britain has a new populist political party called the Restore Britain party. The previous nationalist party, Reform UK, gained 14% of the vote in the 2024 election, but only holds eight seats which is a little over 1% of the seats in parliament. Back in 2002, the UK populist parties had only 2% of the national vote. More debt and more inflation for the U.S. In President Donald Trump's first year in office in his second term, the US Debt to Gross Domestic Product ratio spiked to 122%. That's the highest since Joe Biden's first year in office during the COVID spend-a-thon.   Today's U.S. federal debt stands at $38.7 trillion — exactly double what it was 10 years ago during the first Trump term, and quadruple the size of the debt 18 years ago during the 2008 recession.   Also in economic news, despite all the political noise and hand waving coming out of Washington, inflation is up in the U.S. The core Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation index is up to 3% — back up to where it was two years ago.   The GDP inflator reached 3.7%, the worst it's been in three years. And yet, the average 30-year mortgage rate has dropped to 6%, That's the lowest it's been in two and a half years. Deuteronomy 15:6 ties in here. It says, “For the LORD your God will bless you just as He promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.” Kansas legislature overturns veto on transgender Law KANSAS LEADER: “The motion prevails and the bill passes.” (Gavel comes down) And with that announcement, the Kansas Legislature, dominated by Republicans, voted to overturn Democratic Governor Laura Kelly's veto on a bill that banned men, including men pretending to be women, from entering women's spaces. The Kansas House voted 87-37 and the Kansas Senate voted 31-9 to overturn the veto.  Republican Kansas State Senator Virgil Peck, Jr. spoke from the Senate floor. PECK: “I'm amazed that we're not hearing from more of those who are, if you will, feminists standing up for young ladies.” The bill allows for criminal charges to be brought against biological men who intrude on women's bathrooms and locker rooms, and holds to the birth gender or biological definition of male and female. 118,000 applications submitted for tax-funded school vouchers Texas parents have submitted 118,000 applications since Texas Freedom Education Accounts opened up on February 4th. The Houston public school district is looking at closing down 12 of its schools for the next school year, reports The Chronicle. The Texas Homeschool Coalition estimates there are 500,000 homeschooled students in the state. Add to that 422,000 children enrolled in Texas charter schools, and another 279,000 children enrolled in Texas private schools. That adds up to 1,200,000 Texas students not attending public school, representing 21% of school-aged children in Texas. Study reveals cancer linked to COVID-19 shot A new scientific study has linked the rise in certain types of cancer to the mRNA COVID-19 shots.  The study, published by Oncotarget, marks the spike in cancers, including highly aggressive cancers, in correspondence with certain lipid nanoparticles that were in the COVID vaccines.  The study evidenced that the modRNA in the COVID shot, along with the lipid nanoparticles, could “affect various tissues and organs, including the bone marrow and other blood-forming organs.”  The study also found a link between rising mortalities worldwide and the rollout of the COVID shot. In one Italian province, for example, “vaccination was associated with a 23% increased risk of cancer hospitalization after receiving one or more doses.”  U.S. Men's Hockey team wins gold in overtime And finally … (Audio of Olympic theme song) Norway has captured the highest number of gold medals in the 2026 Winter Olympics this year — taking home 18 medals (so far).

Extra print stories Elderly farmer refuses to sell farm to data company 86-year-old farmer Mervin Raudabaugh refused to sell his Pennsylvania farm to data company developers, even though his farm was valued at over $15 million. Raudabaugh has lived in Silver Springs Township in Cumberland County and been a farmer for more than 60 years. He exclaimed, “I was not interested in destroying my farms. That was the bottom line. It really wasn't so much the economic end of it. I just didn't want to see these two farms destroyed.”  Raudabaugh instead sold his property for a much lower price to the Silver Springs Township's Land Preservation Program, which protects farmland, woodland, and wetlands. He explained, “I love this land. It's been my life. And I realized… if it wasn't built on or dug up, another set of families could live here—and that's what I wanted to do. And I got it done.” Micah 4:4 promises, “But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.” 10 major British cities have Muslim mayors 46 million Muslims now live in Europe, as migrants from third world countries continue overwhelming the European system.  Muslims are taking over political offices in European nations, including in the United Kingdom, where 10 major cities now have Muslim mayors. The massive influx in illegal immigration to Europe, while condemned and hated by its people, is being celebrated by its leaders. Newsmax reports, “They've chosen to stand with radical Muslims over their own people. It's because of all of these reasons these countries are falling apart and failing as the attack on Western civilization continues.” Muslim infiltration has also reached the United States, evidenced by Muslim influence in states like Texas and Minnesota. Chase Bank admits to debanking Trump JPMorgan Bank has admitted to freezing President Donald Trump's bank account following the January 6, 2021 protests. Trump had sued the bank for $5 billion in damages. The admission came after JPMorgan initially dodged the question of whether it debanked the President, and is yet another confirmation that conservatives were in fact targeted and persecuted under the Biden administration.  CNBC reported, “This is not the first lawsuit Trump has filed against a big bank, alleging that he was debanked. The Trump Organization sued credit card giant Capital One in March 2025 for similar reasons and allegations.” However, some have pointed out that the Trump administration is working towards digital currencies, which run a large risk of being controlled.

On today's episode of The Necessary Conversation, we unpack one of the most explosive news cycles yet—newly released Epstein materials that repeatedly reference Donald Trump, journalists being arrested while covering protests, the FBI seizing 2020 election ballots, and Trump suing the United States government for billions of dollars. And Bob shows off his new MAGA cowboy hat given to him by Hasan Piker.This episode gets heavy, fast.

Larry Kudlow and his guests analyze the controversial debanking of the Trump Organization by JP Morgan, characterizing it as a politically motivated action disguised as regulatory compliance. The discussion transitions into a broader strategic look at the upcoming midterm elections, highlighting Elon Musk's data-driven influence and his ability to mobilize low-propensity voters for the Republican party. The participants critique recent polling as inaccurate and debate the merits of a proposed GOP midterm convention designed to showcase policy successes and counter Democratic narratives on affordability Learn more about your ad choices.

This Day in Legal History: League of Nations MeetsOn January 23, 1920, the League of Nations held its first official meeting, marking a major experiment in international law and collective governance. The League was created in the aftermath of World War I as part of the Treaty of Versailles. Its core mission was to prevent future wars through diplomacy, arbitration, and collective security. For the first time, nations committed themselves to resolving disputes through legal mechanisms rather than unilateral force. The League also helped develop early norms of international accountability and treaty enforcement. It established permanent institutions to oversee mandates, labor standards, and minority protections. Although the United States never joined, the League influenced how international law was discussed and practiced. Its failures, particularly its inability to prevent aggression in the 1930s, exposed the limits of voluntary compliance without enforcement power. Those weaknesses became lessons for later international institutions. Many of the League's structures and legal concepts were later incorporated into the United Nations. The League's first meeting thus represents a foundational moment in the modern law of international cooperation.U.S. President Donald Trump filed a $5 billion lawsuit in Florida state court against JPMorgan Chase and its CEO Jamie Dimon, alleging that the bank improperly closed his accounts for political reasons. Trump claims JPMorgan violated its own internal policies by singling him out as part of a broader political agenda. The bank denied the allegations, stating it does not close accounts based on political or religious views and that the lawsuit lacks merit. Trump also accused Dimon of orchestrating a “blacklist” intended to discourage other financial institutions from doing business with him, his family, and the Trump Organization. He said the account closures caused reputational harm and forced him to seek alternative banking relationships. JPMorgan countered that account closures are sometimes required to manage legal or regulatory risk. The lawsuit comes amid broader political scrutiny of banks over alleged “debanking” practices. Conservative critics have accused lenders of restricting services to certain individuals and industries. A recent report from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency found that major banks limited services to some industries between 2020 and 2023, though it did not identify specific wrongdoing. Regulators have since moved away from using vague “reputational risk” standards in bank supervision.Trump sues JPMorgan, CEO Jamie Dimon for $5 billion over alleged debanking | ReutersFormer U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith told the House Judiciary Committee that Donald Trump willfully violated the law in his efforts to remain in power after losing the 2020 presidential election. Smith testified that Trump was not seeking truthful information about election fraud claims but instead was searching for ways to block certification of the results. The hearing marked Smith's first extensive public testimony about the two criminal cases he brought against Trump, both of which were dropped after Trump won reelection in 2024. Republicans on the committee accused Smith of political bias and argued his investigation improperly targeted Trump and his allies. They focused on Smith's use of subpoenas for phone records of Republican lawmakers, portraying the actions as overreach. Smith defended those measures as necessary to investigate potential obstruction of justice. He said Republican witnesses who contradicted Trump's fraud claims would have been central to the election interference case. Trump responded by renewing calls for Smith to be prosecuted and accusing him of harming innocent people. Democrats on the panel defended Smith as a career prosecutor guided by evidence rather than politics.Former US prosecutor Smith says Trump ‘willfully broke' laws in bid to keep power | ReutersA federal judge expressed skepticism about whether the Trump administration has the legal authority to build a $400 million ballroom at the White House without congressional approval. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon questioned the administration's justification for demolishing the historic East Wing and replacing it with a large new structure. The lawsuit was brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which argues the project violates federal laws governing construction on parkland in Washington, D.C. The group contends that Congress must expressly authorize such construction and that required environmental reviews were bypassed or improperly handled. Judge Leon sharply rejected comparisons between the ballroom and past minor renovations, signaling concern about the scale of the project. He is considering whether to issue a preliminary injunction that would halt construction while the case proceeds. The administration maintains the ballroom is necessary for state functions and part of a long tradition of presidential renovations. Government lawyers also argue that stopping construction now would serve no public benefit, especially since above-ground work is months away. Leon said he expects to rule on the injunction request in the coming weeks.White House faces skeptical judge in lawsuit over Trump ballroom | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Édouard Lalo.This week's closing theme features music by Lalo, a composer who spent much of his career just outside the spotlight of 19th-century French music. Born in 1823, Lalo came to composition relatively late and struggled for recognition in a musical world dominated by opera and established conservatory figures. He is best remembered today for works that combine classical structure with vivid color and rhythmic vitality. The Concerto in F Major, Op. 20 reflects those strengths, balancing elegance with expressive intensity. The opening Andante – Allegro begins with a reflective, almost searching character before unfolding into a more energetic and assertive main section. Lalo uses the solo instrument to sing rather than dominate, emphasizing lyrical phrasing over virtuosic display. The movement's shifting moods showcase his gift for contrast and dramatic pacing. There is a clear sense of forward motion, but never at the expense of clarity. Lalo's orchestration remains transparent, allowing themes to breathe and develop naturally. The music feels poised between Romantic warmth and classical restraint. As a closing theme, it offers both momentum and reflection. It is a reminder of Lalo's understated influence and the enduring appeal of his finely crafted musical voice.Without further ado, Édouard Lalo's Concerto in F Major, Op. 20, the opening Andante, enjoy!

It's 1,099 days until the legally defined end of the 47th presidency, but we have serious doubts until the execution of a legal midterm election. Greenland remains Danish, despite Trump's threats to invade. It seems there might be a slight conflict of interest in the administration.

A bombshell new report claims that Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida sent women to Jeffrey Epstein's home for years, allegedly to give him massages. The women that were sent to Epstein's home warned others about his dangerous behavior, so if this story is accurate, that means there's little to no chance that Mar-a-Lago didn't know exactly what was going on. This week, Donald Trump vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have created a pipeline to deliver clean drinking water to more than 50,000 Colorado residents. This didn't sit well with longtime Trump ally Lauren Boebert - a representative from Colorado - and she tore into the President, accusing him of vetoing the pipeline out of anger over her insistence on releasing the Epstein Files. There are a couple other reasons this likely happened, but Boebert's vote on the files certainly played a role. During a segment on Newsmax this week, Kari Lake demanded that the Department of Justice go after Donald Trump's political enemies - as if they haven't been trying, and failing, at doing that for the past year. Lake went totally off the rails in the segment, reminding everyone that she might be the most mentally unstable member of the Trump administration, even though she remains one of the most irrelevant members of the administration. MAGA fanatics who forked out $500 for a tacky "Trump Phone" nearly a year ago are going to have to wait even longer for their garbage to arrive, as the Trump Organization announced that the phones were being delayed AGAIN. This isn't the first time that the company has failed to deliver at their promised deadline, as they have pushed back the release multiple times in just the last few months. There's a chance the phones never arrive at all, and MAGA will just have to come to terms with the fact that they keep falling for such obvious swindles.Republican lawmakers know that 2026 is probably going to be a very bad year for them, and they have just one request of Donald Trump: Don't make it worse! Unfortunately, Trump isn't capable of doing that, and Republicans in Congress have now lost faith with Trump because they view him as far too "out of touch." It isn't just that he can't or won't work on economic issues, it is that he won't stop the stupid vanity projects that are angering the public while going out on tour and bragging about how great he is.The Democratic Party ended 2025 with another massive victory in an area of the country that they typically can't win in. This particular win happened in an election in Iowa, where Democrat Renee Hardman pulled off a stunning victory to prevent Republicans in the state from having a supermajority in the Senate. This is more proof that the Trump Effect is real, and voters are turning against Trump and the Republican Party in ways we couldn't have expected a year ago.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (11/19/2025): 3:05pm- The Epstein Transparency Act: On Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly in favor of a bill that directs the Justice Department to release all the files in its possession related to its investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The final vote was 427 to 1—with only Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) in opposition. In a post to social media, Higgins explained his decision—citing concern that the bill does not do enough to protect the identities of victims and witnesses. Later in the day, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer requested that the Senate pass the bill with unanimous consent—no Senator objected and the bill will now head to President Donald Trump's desk to be signed. 3:15pm- After passing the Epstein Transparency Act, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson expressed frustration with the Senate's decision to bypass the amendment process. But, as Rich notes, why didn't Republicans amend the bill before passing it and sending it to the Senate? Speaker Johnson, like Higgins, is concerned that the bill doesn't do enough to protect the identities of victims, witnesses, and those not guilty of any crimes. 3:20pm- On Wednesday, the House of Representatives held a vote to censure Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-USVI) for a text exchange she had with Epstein during a House Oversight Committee hearing. During the exchange, Epstein coached Plaskett on how to question Trump Organization officials. 3:30pm- Kennedy—Fox News Host & Author—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her MTV days, BBQ/smoking tips, and why commies are ruining everything!

(Not to be confused for “what's on the cut sheet?”) A group of doctors sang songs about climate change and danced awkwardly at COP30. The clip is somehow even worse than you're imagining. 5:05pm- After passing the Epstein Transparency Act, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson expressed frustration with the Senate's decision to bypass the amendment process. But, as Rich notes, why didn't Republicans amend the bill before passing it and sending it to the Senate? Speaker Johnson, like Higgins, is concerned that the bill doesn't do enough to protect the identities of victims, witnesses, and those not guilty of any crimes. 5:30pm- Gerlad Posner—Award-Winning Investigative Journalist & Author of the book “Secrets of the Kingdom: The Inside Story of the Secret Saudi-U.S. Connection”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss President Donald Trump's meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the Oval Office.

The Book and Its Premise (Order Eric's new Book HERE!) Under Siege is presented as Eric Trump’s account of what is “the greatest governmental corruption this nation has ever seen.” Trump and is family were victims of political persecution, media bias, and systemic weaponization of institutions. Claims of Government “Weaponization” Eric Trump accuses the DOJ, FBI, and state-level prosecutors (Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith, etc.) of targeting his family for political reasons. He recounts the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago as an overreach and describes it as “staged” and politically motivated. Mentions being “the most subpoenaed man in history,” claiming to have received over 100 subpoenas. Debanking and Corporate Retaliation Eric Trump says that hundreds of bank accounts belonging to Trump businesses and affiliates were closed due to political pressure. Specific banks named: Capital One, JP Morgan, Bank of America, First Republic. He frames this as an example of private-sector “weaponization” against conservatives. Financial and Legal Struggles The family spent around $400 million defending themselves from investigations and lawsuits. Describes how banks, courts, and insurance companies were allegedly pressured to avoid doing business with the Trump Organization. Personal Reflections and Family Dynamics Speaks warmly of his father as a calm, strong leader under pressure and a strict but loving parent.

The criminal indictment of the Trump Organization puts Donald Trump squarely in the crosshairs of legal jeopardy. But a wounded Trump is still a dangerous Trump; creating a new urgency to jumpstart his political life and remain viable as a candidate. He won't run because he's afraid to lose. But as long as his MAGA base thinks he'll run, the more money he can raise. In addition, he can claim that the DA is only coming after him as a political vendetta. But to remain viable, Trump must appeal to an extremist base that is more prone to conspiracy thinking, violence, racism and hatred. All of this was on display last weekend at his first public rally and will only intensify as his legal troubles mount.

The criminal indictment of the Trump Organization puts Donald Trump squarely in the crosshairs of legal jeopardy.

The Manhattan DA's case against the Trump Organization and Donald Trump has put intense pressure on the former President as he finds himself increasingly cornered. The prospect of an indictment has forced him back out on the campaign trail as he seeks to shield himself from prosecution by spinning the case as yet another political witch hunt. At the same time, the GOP must reckon with the fact that for good or ill, Trump is still the center of the Republican universe and thus they need to change the narrative. In the past several months, the right has engaged in a propaganda war to white wash the history of the Trump presidency and what happened on January 6th. The result has been a steady drip of stunning and shameless lies. Finally, political strategist and Democratic stalwart Joe Trippi joins Mea Culpa to discuss the fall out caused by the GOP's authoritarian crusade.    To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy ...

This week, Scott sat down with Senior Editors Kate Klonick and Eric Columbus to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including: “An Un-Airing of Grievances.” Since the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, some supporters of his—including several figures within the Trump administration—have actively sought to have individuals who have said critical or purportedly insensitive things about Kirk removed from their jobs or otherwise punished. This arguably came to a head after Jimmy Kimmel Live! was pulled from the air following statements by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggesting networks might face additional regulatory scrutiny for not addressing alleged misinformation about Kirk's killer he purportedly put forward. And while Kimmel is now back on the air, several major local affiliates are refusing to air his show. How do these efforts comport with the First Amendment? And what do they mean for freedom of speech regardless?“You Can't Spell Appeasement Without App.” After months of negotiations—during which it has held off on enforcing a statutorily mandated ban—the Trump administration has announced that it has reached a deal with China regarding the disposition of the social media platform TikTok and its operation in the United States. But the public details of the deal have been few and far between, and much more remains to be worked out. How close to a deal are the parties in actuality? And does it address the national security concerns motivating Congress's ban in the first place?“Playing with White House Money.” The Trump administration has been rocked by two major corruption-related stories in the past week. First, the Justice Department is reported to have closed an investigation into White House immigration czar Tom Homan, who reportedly accepted $50,000 from undercover FBI agents prior to joining the administration on the understanding that he would help the donors gain access to the incoming Trump administration. And second, new details suggest that the recent deal to permit chip sales to the UAE were tied up in a variety of major cryptocurrency deals that enriched both the Trump Organization and others in the Trump administration—only the latest in a long history of suspect cryptocurrency transactions by Trump-related businesses. How big a problem are these transactions? And what do they tell us about the state of corruption on the second Trump administration?In object lessons, Eric marked the Jewish New Year with a novel recommendation: “To Rise Again at a Decent Hour,” by Joshua Ferris, a midlife-crisis tale woven through Judaism, baseball, and dentistry—two subjects close to his heart, and one that isn't. Scott, meanwhile, is back on the D.C. concert circuit and wants you to join him at Union Stage on October 14 to see Katie Pruitt, whose rock-infused Americana sound he thinks deserves a bigger audience. Kate rounded things out with a little blue hippo—specifically the souvenir version of the famous Egyptian figurine better known as “William,” a reminder of a past mother-daughter trip to Paris that involved butchering French while scouring the Louvre.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.
