On a Special All Anchors Edition of the Legal AF Podcast, Ben Meiselas, Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo debate: (1) what happens next on appeal and future oversight, now that a NY Court has Banned Trump from the finance markets, lending, and operating his businesses, and hit him with a more than $500 million dollar judgment; (2) whether Trump will be CONVICTED of NY felonies by May in the Stormy Daniels hush money coverup case and the impact of that trial on the DC Election interference trial setting; (3) the likelihood that the Supreme Court will take up the Trump “ absolute immunity” case on appeal and stay the DC Election Interference trial or let it proceed in June or July; (4) what happens next with Fulton County DA Fani Willis, and will the state court judge remove her from the Trump Georgia Election Interference case and dismiss the Trump indictment, and so much more at the intersection of law, politics and justice.DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS!Fast Growing Trees: Head to https://www.fast-growing-trees.com/collections/sale?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=legalaf right now to get 15% off your entire order!
