Trump Judge's Role in Bribery Scandal Comes Back to Haunt Him
Should a sitting federal judge affiliated with Trump be impeached and removed for his role in allowing a corrupt Trump official to join the Administration? Those are some of the questions being asked today based on new reporting from MS-NOW that then senior DOJ Official Emil Bove (now Judge Bove) was handed an internal FBI and DOJ memo that disclosed that Border Czar Tom Homan was caught in a $50,000 bribe undercover sting operation, and then did nothing about it, allowing Trump to grant Homan security clearance. Michael Popok takes a hard look at Bove’s actions and what should happen next, as the Trump Administration embarks on yet another scandal cover up.

The Intersection with Michael Popok - 12/30/2025
The existence of a secret internal DOJ memo about Tom Homan being the target of a bribe sting operation surfaces. Old emails between the DOJ in DC and local prosecutors are revealed today, which suggest that the DOJ may have lied to a federal judge. The Trump Administration claimed that the Federal Reserve is BROKE, in order to avoid a federal judges injunction not to destroy a federal consumer protection bureau; Chief Judge Boesberg continues to doggedly pursue the lawless Trump Administration. And defense lawyers have figured out how to call out Trump’s use of his favorite judge, Aileen Cannon, to go after his political enemies: Write a letter to the chief judge and call out the corruption. Next, on the Intersection Podcast with Michael Popok.
