On Thursday, a New York appeals court threw out a $527 million penalty against President Donald Trump resulting from a 2024 civil fraud judgment. The five-justice panel unanimously agreed to dismiss the fine but disagreed on other points, ultimately deciding to leave the other penalties against Trump in place — including barring Trump from serving in top roles at any New York company for three years, extending a similar ban to his sons (Eric and Donald Jr.) for two years, and installing an independent monitor for the Trump Organization.Tangle LIVE tickets are available!We're excited to announce that our third installment of Tangle Live will be held on October 24, 2025, at the Irvine Barclay Theatre in Irvine, California.

It's been a dramatic and unprecedented week in American legal and political history, as former President Donald Trump once again dominates headlines with a whirlwind of court activity from coast to coast. The biggest shock came just days ago from New York's appellate court. After months of intense proceedings, this court tossed out the staggering $454 million civil fraud judgment that had loomed over Trump, his family, and his key business associates. Only a year ago, Judge Arthur Engoron had found that the Trump Organization engaged in repeated business fraud—everything from wildly inflating the square footage of Trump's Manhattan penthouse, to overvaluing Mar-a-Lago by listing it as a private family home instead of a social club. In scathing language, Engoron accused Trump and his team of showing “a complete lack of contrition and remorse,” insisting that the evidence of asset inflation by Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump “leap off the page and shock the conscience.” Trump, for his part, railed against what he called a politically motivated attack, declaring himself “an innocent man” during a fiery closing statement last year and insisting that New York Attorney General Letitia James was motivated by political ambition.But this week, that enormous financial threat disappeared in a legal instant, as the appeals court found critical fault with the earlier decision and threw it out. Trump quickly celebrated the turnabout, telling supporters and reporters, “They stole $550 million from me with a fake case—and it was overturned. They said this was a fake case.” Yet, the court left in place some restrictions on Trump's business leadership, reminding everyone that the legal saga isn't truly over.The twists don't end in New York. On the federal front, the story of Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election continues to evolve. The criminal case, once overseen by Special Counsel Jack Smith, had charged Trump with conspiracy to overturn his defeat and for actions leading up to the January 6th Capitol riots. The case set a historical precedent: never before had a former president faced criminal indictment for acts committed in office. Battles over legal immunity wound up before the U.S. Supreme Court, which in July 2024 ruled that former presidents do enjoy “some immunity” for official acts. In a practical sense, this suggested that prosecuting a president—current or former—would always be a labyrinthine challenge.Then, as 2024 drew to a close and Trump secured re-election, Jack Smith dropped the prosecution, citing presidential immunity for a sitting president. Smith's final report left no doubt, though—the evidence, he argued, would have warranted conviction if the case could proceed. Meanwhile, in the Georgia election interference case, the prosecution found itself mired in controversy when Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was disqualified due to personal entanglements, while Trump continues to face counts that legal observers admit may languish unresolved during his new term.Out west, a quieter but significant university lawsuit against Trump presses on, with hearings and deadlines marking the calendar, but these cases remain largely on the periphery compared to the headline-grabbing criminal and civil actions swirling around Donald Trump.I want to thank you all for tuning in—this has been a whirlwind of courtrooms, controversy, and history in the making.

A New York appeals court tosses the half-billion-dollar civil fraud judgment against Donald Trump and the Trump Organization, a crushing defeat for Attorney General Letitia James. President Trump thanks police, federal agents, and the National Guard at a dinner in Washington, while left-wing journalists are caught spinning a story on a DC arrest that turns out to be very different from their framing. Two Loudoun County high school boys suspended for questioning why a female student was in their locker room spark state and federal investigations into the district's gender identity policies.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- Last year, New York Judge Arthur F. Engoron found that Donald Trump inflated the value of assets controlled by the Trump Organization in past financial statements. With no jury, Judge Engoron unilaterally chose to fine Trump $500 million and barred him from conducting business in New York for three years. Notably, in 2018, while campaigning to become New York Attorney General, Letitia James vowed to “sue” Trump and routinely spoke of how she would like to see him imprisoned—providing evidence to the defense's legal argument that this civil suit is entirely political. Trump's legal team appealed the decision—and now, a New York Appeals Court has thrown out the half-billion-dollar judgement. In his opinion, Justice Peter Moulton wrote: “While harm certainly occurred, it was not the cataclysmic harm that can justify a nearly half billion-dollar award to the State.” 3:30pm- Jack Ciattarelli—Republican candidate for Governor of New Jersey and a former New Jersey State Representative—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his tireless efforts to defeat Democrat Mikie Sherrill in November's election. Ciattarelli reacts to a new Eagleton Center for Public Interest/ Rutgers University poll which shows he trails Sherrill by 9-points (their poll last month had Ciattarelli down 20-points). He notes that the poll undercounted male voters and Republicans—which means this race is a coin toss. Plus, energy prices in NJ are skyrocketing and Sherrill's policies are the reason why. 3:50pm- Matt is nearly “concussed” by a falling studio microphone. Rich expresses very little interest in Matt's wellbeing—and is more concerned with the fact that he used the term “concussed.”

In April of 2018, Giorgi Rtskhiladze answered the door of his Connecticut home to find two FBI agents bearing a subpoena waiting for him. Their questions: What was his interaction with Donald Trump, the Trump family, and the Trump Organization? What did he know about Michael Cohen's business dealings? Why was he the person who Cohen had a text conversation with about the possibility of damaging tapes of Donald Trump from Russia? Though he and his family were stunned that the agents came to their home at night, instead of asking him to come in for an interview, news broke - and Giorgi found himself in the middle of a media maelstrom, as well as in the midst of one of the most salacious pieces of evidence which in part triggered the Mueller investigation. This is Giorgi's story of growing up in Soviet Georgia, emigrating to the US, and his dealings with Donald Trump. All of this culminating in his disillusion with the Justice Department, special counsel Mueller, Adam Schiff, and the American media after his subpoena - and the journey through the criminal justice system that ensued.https://amzn.to/46y9UlzBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

The past few days in the world of Donald Trump's court battles have been nothing short of electrifying, with headline-grabbing moments and precedent-setting judicial rulings dominating the national conversation. Let's dive straight into the latest developments—no time to waste, because what's happened in the courts is directly shaping the political landscape as we head deeper into 2025.Last week, the Supreme Court closed its 2023-24 term with a bombshell ruling that gave Donald Trump, the former—and now current—President, a sweeping legal victory. In a deeply consequential decision, the justices held that former presidents have at least presumptive immunity for their official acts. This decision didn't just help Trump in his ongoing legal fights; it arguably paved the way for his dramatic return to the presidency in January 2025. Legal experts and commentators have pointed out that the court's conservative majority delivered a string of wins for Trump and his administration, tilting the legal battlefield in his favor for the foreseeable future, especially as his administration frequently turns to the Supreme Court with emergency requests—and often walks away victorious, reinforcing the administration's power and agenda.But that wasn't the end. On the very last day before summer recess, the Supreme Court handed down another powerful decision benefitting Trump's administration, ruling that federal district judges do not have the authority to issue nationwide injunctions blocking laws or policies. This decision has massive implications for how challenges to presidential actions unfold, further shifting the balance of power toward the White House.Meanwhile, down in Florida, Trump's classified documents case saw its own dramatic twist. Back in July of last year, Judge Aileen Cannon granted Trump's motion to dismiss the superseding indictment; the government appealed, and legal briefs have been flying between the parties ever since. Appeals and procedural battles are ongoing in a web of cases, from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's state prosecution to the high-profile New York civil fraud case, where New York Attorney General Letitia James and her team are consolidating multiple appeals in their fight against the Trump Organization.In the midst of these appeals, the legal maneuvering is relentless: Trump's legal team continues to seek every possible avenue to move cases to federal court or appeal adverse rulings. Judges like Justice Juan Merchan in New York are under constant pressure, issuing rulings on motions for recusal, immunity, and discovery sanctions, while also managing a flurry of filings and court appearances related to Trump's criminal and civil cases.All of this courtroom drama isn't happening in a vacuum—it's reverberating through the halls of power. Journalists and legal scholars are watching closely, not just for the results themselves but for what they mean for the limits of presidential power. With more cases likely to make their way up to the Supreme Court in the months ahead, each ruling is setting new precedent and fueling fierce debate about law, politics, and the presidency itself.Thanks for tuning in to this week's breakdown of Donald Trump's court trials. Check back next week for more updates as this historic legal battle continues to unfold.

Let me take you right to the heart of what's been shaking up the courts and the headlines—the ongoing saga of Donald Trump's legal battles just days before the end of June 2025. Only a year and a half after Donald Trump was convicted by a New York State jury on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in order to hide a payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, the former president's legal team is still fighting tooth and nail to overturn that conviction. You might remember—Trump's sentencing came just ten days before his second presidential inauguration. The judge, addressing the unprecedented nature of the situation, issued an unconditional discharge. What that meant: Trump avoided any prison time or fines, but the conviction would stay with him. At his sentencing, Trump appeared via video, declaring he was treated, in his words, “very, very unfairly,” and vowing to appeal.Fast forward to just this month. Trump's lawyers found themselves back in a federal appeals court in Manhattan, arguing that not just Trump but any current or former federal official should be able to move state criminal prosecutions to federal court under an old law—one that legal experts say is rarely used and not likely to win the day. At stake, beyond Trump's own fate, is the question of how much leeway federal officers might have to shield themselves from state prosecution. The appeal is before a three-judge panel—two judges appointed by Barack Obama, one by Joe Biden—so politics, as always, looms large in the background, though the law is front and center.While that hush money conviction appeal is a major focus, it's just one item on Trump's packed legal calendar. His team has also filed a notice of appeal with New York's mid-level appeals court, but those proceedings haven't begun. In addition, the lingering aftershocks of his classified documents case in Florida continue, as does litigation from the sprawling civil fraud case in New York involving the Trump Organization and its financial practices. And even in Georgia, issues over state versus federal jurisdiction have made their way up to the Supreme Court.All this is happening while Trump, despite all legal headwinds, remains a dominant presence on the political landscape. His legal strategy appears to be one of exhausting every avenue of appeal, filing motion after motion—sometimes with little chance of ultimate success, but each move buys time and keeps his case in the public eye.To sum it up: as we close out June 2025, Donald Trump's courtroom drama is far from over, with appeals in motion and an ever-shifting legal landscape. Thanks for tuning in—make sure to check back next week for more on this unfolding legal and political saga!

Today's Headlines: President Trump briefly attended the G7, signed a tariff deal with the UK, defended Putin, skipped key meetings, and refused to back a joint Israel-Iran de-escalation statement before leaving early, citing Middle East tensions. Meanwhile, global exporters are increasingly rejecting U.S. dollars in favor of other currencies, signaling growing concern over the dollar's stability.

This Day in Legal History: Trump Guilty on All CountsOn this day in legal history, May 30, 2024, President Donald J. Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts in a criminal trial related to a hush money scheme during the 2016 presidential campaign. The case centered on falsified business records used to conceal payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, intended to silence her allegations of an affair in the run-up to the election. The charges—each tied to entries in the Trump Organization's internal ledger—were elevated to felonies on the basis that they were committed in furtherance of another crime, namely influencing the outcome of a federal election.The trial, held in New York State Supreme Court, marked an unprecedented legal moment in U.S. history: a former president, and presumptive candidate in the upcoming election, being found guilty of criminal conduct. Prosecutors argued that Trump orchestrated the payments to suppress damaging information and maintain his electoral chances, while his defense claimed the case was politically motivated and the records reflected routine legal expenses.The conviction did not bar Trump from running for office again, but it did raise serious constitutional, electoral, and logistical questions about the rule of law and the separation of powers. The verdict was reached by a jury of 12 New Yorkers after weeks of testimony from former aides, prosecutors, and key witnesses like Michael Cohen, Trump's onetime fixer.Trump's sentencing was scheduled for a future date, and appeals were expected. Reactions across the political spectrum were predictably polarized, with critics calling it accountability at last, while supporters denounced the trial as a miscarriage of justice. Legal scholars noted the symbolic weight of the decision in reaffirming that no one—including a former president—is above the law.The U.S. Department of Justice and several states are wrapping up a major antitrust case against Google, with closing arguments scheduled for Friday. At issue is whether Google must sell its Chrome browser and stop default search engine deals with companies like Apple and wireless carriers, which the DOJ says stifles competition. These proposals follow a prior court finding that Google unlawfully monopolized online search and advertising markets.Judge Amit Mehta, who is presiding over the case, expects to issue a ruling by August. The DOJ is also pushing for Google to share its search data, which could benefit AI companies. OpenAI has expressed interest in purchasing Chrome if a divestiture occurs and noted that access to Google's search data would improve its AI responses.Google argues that the DOJ's proposed remedies overreach and would unfairly advantage competitors. The company has already taken some steps, such as loosening default search engine deals with phone manufacturers like Samsung. However, the government wants a full ban on payments that secure Google's search dominance on devices.Google and DOJ to make final push in US search antitrust case | ReutersA federal appeals court has temporarily reinstated President Trump's wide-ranging tariffs after a lower trade court ruled they exceeded presidential authority. The stay, issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, allows the tariffs—targeting imports from most trading partners and specifically Canada, Mexico, and China—to remain in effect while the appeals process unfolds. The plaintiffs and the government must submit legal arguments by early June.The U.S. Court of International Trade previously found that Trump misused the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which is designed for national emergencies, not trade disputes. The panel emphasized that Congress, not the president, holds constitutional power to impose tariffs. Trump and his administration remain defiant, vowing to pursue alternative legal pathways if needed. Trump criticized the ruling publicly, warning it would weaken presidential power and harm national interests.Financial markets responded cautiously, factoring in the likelihood of a drawn-out legal process. Some companies, like small businesses represented by the Liberty Justice Center, argue the tariffs threaten their survival due to disrupted supply chains. Broader economic impacts include $34 billion in losses and stalled negotiations with key partners. Notably, separate national security-based tariffs on steel, aluminum, and cars remain unaffected.Trump's tariffs to remain in effect after appeals court grants stay | ReutersTrump's latest tax-and-spending bill, dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," includes a provision that could significantly limit federal courts' power to enforce contempt orders against the government. The measure, buried in the 1,100-page bill, would block courts from enforcing contempt if plaintiffs did not post a monetary bond when seeking an injunction—a practice rarely required in lawsuits against the government.The provision applies retroactively and would affect both lower courts and the Supreme Court. Critics say it could effectively prevent courts from holding government officials accountable for ignoring judicial orders, as most past injunctions didn't involve posted bonds. While the administration says the measure is aimed at deterring frivolous lawsuits, legal experts warn it undermines judicial authority and incentivizes noncompliance.This change comes after a Trump administration memo encouraged agencies to request bonds in litigation. Judges have previously flagged possible defiance of court orders by administration officials but have stopped short of issuing contempt rulings. In one recent case over tariffs, a judge set a bond at just $100, overruling a higher request by the government.The House narrowly passed the bill without any Democratic support. It now moves to the Senate, where some Republicans have expressed intentions to amend it. A group of House Democrats has already called for the contempt provision to be removed, arguing it would render courts ineffective in enforcing lawful orders.Trump's sweeping tax-cut bill includes provision to weaken court powers | ReutersThe U.S. Justice Department has asked a judge to dismiss the criminal fraud charge against Boeing tied to two deadly 737 MAX crashes that killed 346 people, following a new agreement with the company. Under the deal, Boeing avoids a felony conviction but will pay an additional $444.5 million into a victims' compensation fund and a $243.6 million fine, bringing the total to $1.1 billion. The sum includes investments in safety, compliance, and quality enhancements.This resolution has drawn strong criticism from families of crash victims and some lawmakers, who argue that Boeing should face trial. While most families have settled civil lawsuits and received billions in compensation, several legal representatives are planning to challenge the agreement. The Justice Department defended the deal, stating it ensures accountability and public benefit while avoiding a potentially uncertain trial outcome.As part of the agreement, Boeing's board must meet with victims' families, and the company will hire a compliance consultant instead of facing court-appointed oversight. The deal halts a planned June 23 trial over Boeing's alleged deception of U.S. regulators regarding a key flight control system implicated in the crashes.US asks judge to dismiss Boeing 737 MAX criminal fraud case | ReutersThis week's closing theme brings us to one of the towering figures of Classical music: Joseph Haydn. Born in 1732 and known as the “Father of the Symphony” and “Father of the String Quartet,” Haydn's influence shaped the musical landscape of his time and set the foundation for generations of composers to come, including his younger contemporaries Mozart and Beethoven. Though widely celebrated for his symphonic and chamber works, Haydn also made remarkable contributions to keyboard music—works that showcase both his wit and structural innovation.Our selection is the first movement, Vivace, from his Keyboard Concerto in D major, Hob. XVIII:11, arguably his most famous and frequently performed keyboard concerto. Composed in the mid-1770s, the piece bursts with energy and clarity, reflecting Haydn's mature style. The Vivace movement is bright, spirited, and rhythmically engaging, with a dialogue between soloist and orchestra that feels playful yet assured.What makes this concerto particularly special is its balance of accessibility and sophistication. The melodies are immediately appealing, but the musical craftsmanship runs deep—complex harmonic turns, sparkling ornamentation, and a joyful momentum that never wanes. In the Classical tradition, this was written for the harpsichord or fortepiano, but it's often performed on modern piano today, bringing a different resonance and brilliance to the sound.As we close the week, Haydn's Vivace offers a fitting send-off: lively, inventive, and rooted in a composer who, even two centuries later, continues to surprise and delight.Without further ado, Joseph Haydn's Vivace – Keyboard Concerto in D Major.

In Chapter 16 of The Book of Trump, Ghost welcomes engineer Brad Zerbo for a deep-dive into one of Donald Trump's most iconic creations: Trump Tower. What begins as a breakdown of Manhattan's architectural evolution turns into a full-on love letter to craftsmanship, strategic development, and the business mind behind the Trump Organization. From the stepped glass design of Trump Tower on 5th Ave to Trump City's sweeping Riverside South transformation, Brad shares firsthand experience building Trump projects and navigating New York's brutal construction world, where, he says, Trump was legendary for always paying on time. The duo also explores Parisian architecture, BOMA square footage battles, Gothic influences, tax abatements, and the philosophical shift from craftsmanship to soulless glass boxes. Then, they pivot to the future: Trump's bold expansion into the Middle East with new towers underway in Dubai and Jeddah. With floor plans priced from $1.1M and expected delivery in 2031, the Trump brand is positioning itself as a cornerstone in the coming global realignment. A rich blend of construction nerdery, historical context, and geopolitical vision, this episode builds far more than just towers.

On the eve of his second inauguration, Donald Trump did something no U.S. president had ever done: He launched a meme coin. The cryptocurrency — whose value hinges more on hype than utility — surged to an all-time high of $75.35 a token. The next day, First Lady Melania Trump dropped her own meme coin, debuting at about $13 a share. Both coins have since tumbled, but on Wednesday Trump's token briefly bumped up again to $15.47 before dipping. The latest surge came after the coin's official website announced that 220 top meme coin holders will be invited to a gala dinner with the president in May — black tie optional. These tokens, that are not tied to any real world assets, have proven lucrative for Trump and his family. Last month, the Financial Times estimated Trump made upwards of $350 million from the project. While small traders have lost big, the Trump Organization and its affiliates — controlling 80 percent of the token supply — have made hundreds of millions in just trading fees.Trump, once a crypto skeptic, is now the industry's most powerful advocate.“ He went to a big bitcoin conference in Nashville last July. That's where he declared he would make the U.S. the crypto capital of the planet,” says Intercept reporter Matt Sledge. “And the crypto industry started showering money on him. They saw somebody who would be friendly to their industry.”This week on The Intercept Briefing, Sledge, who covers crypto's political reach, discusses how investing in the president has paid off for the industry and for the Trump family.“So far in Trump's presidency, things have gone great for the crypto industry. Even as the rest of the economy is on pretty perilous footing, a bunch of crypto companies have seen the SEC and other regulatory agencies drop investigations or lawsuits. Trump has created a 'bitcoin reserve,' and in general, regulators and Congress are behaving much more friendly toward the industry.”For more on how Trump is reshaping the crypto landscape and what it means for the rest of us, listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

Harvard, the nation's oldest university, is not waiting around to see if Trump made another “ooops” and mistake in threatening to cut off another billion dollars in research grants, and has had enough, filing a new lawsuit today, and hiring 2 attorneys to stop the assault on academic freedom: Bill Burck who is currently the Trump Organization's chief ethics counsel, who brought in Robert Hur of all things, who Trump appointed as a US Attorney and who was Biden's Special Counsel about his handling of documents. Michael Popok explains why Harvard had no choice but to file, and what message they are sending to the Harvard Law Graduates on the US Supreme Court, including Chief Justice Roberts, in hiring Robert Hur.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University terrorist sympathizer, was detained by federal immigration officials. However, an Obama-appointed judge stepped in to rescue this non-student, green-card-holding activist, who supports overseas terrorist organizations and shouldn't even be on Columbia's campus—or in the U.S.—given his actions and affiliations. Khalil leads Columbia United Apartheid Divest (CUAD), a radical group that backs terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah. The Associated Press is attempting to portray him as a victim, but he's far from it. Has he ever spoken out against the slaughter of minorities in Syria? Later, why is the U.S. dealing with Qatar? It's about time the media asked: Who does Qatar influence? Who's receiving their money? Qatar is the enemy and it's at the center of a massive scandal in which it has bought off media, politicians, think tanks, law firms, lobbyists and businessmen. It all must be exposed. Additionally, Eric Trump joins the program to discuss his lawsuit against Capital One for cutting ties with the Trump Organization in 2021. He argues the decision was solely based on the Trump name and pledges to hold the bank accountable. Also, a study reveals Medicaid made $1.1 trillion in improper payments over the past decade. Democrats aim for one-party rule and may shut down the government as a tactical move to win a larger political war. Rather than protecting citizens, they seek to exploit people and their jobs. Finally, It's unsurprising that Mark believes the U.S. shouldn't negotiate with terrorists, as they follow no rules and don't wage war like a traditional army. Negotiating with terrorists for hostages is a mistake, as it encourages them to take more captives in the future. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
