Judge Busts Trump Prosecutor Hiding Evidence in Comey Case
In breaking news, Senior Federal Judge Currie caught that Trump’s DOJ and Lindsey Halligan are trying to hide the grand jury transcripts and documents from her as she considers whether to disqualify Lindsey Halligan as the US Attorney and dismiss the indictments against Former FBI Director James Comey and NY AG Tish James. Michael Popok explains how bad trying to “spoon feed” and hide documents from a Federal Judge really is, as the AG Pam Bondi files “backdated” documents to try to save Halligan from dismissal.

Judge Cannon gets Smacked Down by Her Boss for Trump Cover-Up
The podcast dives into the escalating legal drama surrounding Special Counsel Jack Smith's unreleased Volume 2 report on Trump's activities. The 11th Circuit Court has given Judge Cannon a 60-day deadline to decide on its public release. Key issues include the role of Kash Patel and the contrasting openness of Volume 1. Public interest groups are pushing for access, arguing that transparency is crucial for government accountability. The implications of these legal maneuvers could shape public understanding of the ongoing Trump investigations.

Trump Handed Massive Defeat by Federal Court for Invasion Plan
In breaking news, a Trump-appointed Federal Judge issued a late Sunday night emergency Preliminary Injunction continuing to block Trump’s attempts to violate State Sovereignty and federalize and deploy state militia/national guard on the streets of Portland. Michael Popok explains that the Judge will be entering the final Permanent Injunction against The Trump Administration by Friday, but because Trump refused to give her the time to issue her final order, she was forced to enter an emergency preliminary injunction. Popok also explains how this case and its legal arguments may impact the United States Supreme Court's ultimate decision on whether Trump can send federalized troops into Blue States and Cities because he says so.

Trump Skewered by Judges before SNAP Deadline
Two judges have intervened to ensure $6 billion in SNAP funding reaches 40 million Americans at risk of losing food assistance. One judge took a cautious approach, requiring a plan from the agency, while the other issued a direct order for immediate payments. The contrasting legal strategies, both aimed at the same goal, highlight the ongoing political and humanitarian stakes involved. With many affected individuals being Trump voters, the situation underscores the broader implications of these rulings and calls for quick congressional action.

Trump Hit with Rude Awakening as Market Sends Him Brutal Message
Trump’s efforts to use the Shutdown to put a blindfold around the Fed to deny it key economic data so it would fly blind during today’s Interest Rate setting meeting, backfired, as the Fed Chair said that when in a “fog” you “slow down” indicating that Trump screwed up his efforts to get a second rate cut next month by keeping the Government shut down. Michael Popok puts on his Wall Street goggles to take a look at today’s Federal Open Markets Committee Meeting results and what it says about Trump’s failed economy and the suffering of Americans.

Trump Trapped as Judge Orders All Grand Jury Docs be Turned Over
In breaking news, a South Carolina Federal Judge who will decide whether Trump’s novice prosecutor Lindsey Halligan will keep her judge, has issued a devastating order against Halligan, calling her “the indictment signer” only and refusing to use her US Attorney title, and ordering that “all documents relating” to her “participation in the grand jury” be turned over to the Judge. Michael Popok explains why this is so damning as the Judge considers whether to bounce Halligan AND whether she will throw out the Former FBI Director James Comey and NY AG Tish James Indictment along with it.

Trump Sent Dire Warning by SCOTUS Ahead of Troops Ruling
Michael Popok explains why a 1 paragraph order in the last few hours from the Supreme Court may spell disaster for Trump’s plan to continue to attack Blue States and Blue Cities with federalized National Guard. That one question could signal that there is at least 1 MAGA Supreme Court justice who may be willing to rein in Trump and his abuse of the National Guard.

Legal AF Full Episode - 10/29/2025
Twenty-nine appeals judges have overturned a pro-Trump ruling on the use of the National Guard in Oregon, setting the stage for a new trial against the Trump administration. Meanwhile, the Seventh Circuit issued a head-scratching decision undermining a federal judge’s attempt to rein in out-of-control federal leaders, and the Supreme Court dropped a bizarre late-afternoon ruling. Elsewhere, a federal judge came down hard on Trump’s novice prosecutor Lindsey Halligan, and Trump’s appeal of his criminal conviction already looks exhausted before oral arguments even begin. Legal AF is back with Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo to break it all down.
