Smoking Gun Surfaces Blowing Up Trump’s Plan Against Fed
Newly discovered bank and tax documents show that Trump and one of his inner circle Bill Pulte have been lying to a federal court that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud by falsely claiming that she told her lender that 2 homes of hers were both “primary residences” in order to gain an economic and tax advantage. As Michael Popok reports based on Reuters expose, turns out that Cook told her lender in writing that her Atlanta property was a “vacation” or “second home” and she never declared the property as her “primary” for property tax purposes. On the other hand, Pulte’s own parents committed tax fraud that has been investigated by Michigan state officials.

Trump and DOJ Blindsided as Epstein Emails Leak
Buried in the newly disclosed leaked Jeffrey Epstein emails is the proof in a never disclosed email that Trump is lying about why he “fired” Epstein as his best friend, and it has nothing to do with Trump believing Epstein was a “creep” or a child sex predator, it was just a falling out about a $41 million dollar real estate deal in Palm Beach. Michael Popok uses his Florida lawyer and West Palm Beach connections to tie it all together on his latest hot take.

Trump Blindsided as Cities Unleash Unexpected Pushback
As Trump masses his Federal shock forces to invade and occupy major Democratic Sanctuary cities and states this week, City and State leaders like Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker are leading the anti-Trump Administration resistance, in the streets and in courts. Michael Popok examines the new lawsuit the DOJ has filed against Boston and its Mayor to force it to destroy its Sanctuary City laws to not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, and the likely dismissal of the suit as a violation of States Rights and the 10th Amendment to the Constitution.

Legal AF Full Episode - 9/10/2025
The Supreme Court’s destruction of our civil liberties under the 4th Amendment only took 1 paragraph. 2 federal courts today stop Trump’s hostile take over of the Federal Reserve and the Library of Congress. The Supreme Court throws a 95 year precedent out long the morning trash and it only took 1 paragraph (sensing a theme here?). Former FBI Agents file a new lawsuit to get their jobs back. Trump’s “forgery” birthday card to Jeffrey Epstein defense falls apart. All on the top rated Legal AF podcast with Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo.

Trump Loses Big in Fed Court as Fed Stunt Blows Up in His Faceik
In breaking news, DC Federal Judge Jia Cobb has blocked Trump’s efforts to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, finding that her Due Process Rights have been violated and that Trump has no good “for cause” reason to fire her since any allegations about her personal mortgages all occurred before she was confirmed to the post, and “for cause” reasons to fire can only involve her conduct doing her “statutory duties” while “in office.” Michael Popok explains what this late night decision means for the September 16 Fed Reserve Interest Rate meeting, and what will likely happen next in the appellate courts, including a possible stay.

Trump Loses Top Staff as Everyone Suddenly Quits on Him
Hundreds of thousands of Americans, from infants to seniors, will die directly because of Trump’s depraved public health policies and the destruction of our vaccine and immunization programs. Michael Popok reports on 2 top scientists resigning at the National Institute of Health, joining 4 other top scientists at the Center for Disease Control, and leaving behind a devastating whistleblower complaint accusing the Trump Administration and RFK Jr. of covering up children's flu deaths this year, and VP Vance’s participation in the scandal.
