Trump Gets UTTERLY DEVASTATED in ALL Cases
Trial attorneys Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok are back with a new episode of the weekend edition of the LegalAF podcast. On this end of 2023 episode, they debate/discuss: the upcoming E Jean Carroll PUNITIVE damages case against Trump that starts this week, with the Judge taking steps to protect the anonymous jury from Trump sowing chaos at the trial; the closing arguments in the NY Civil Fraud case against Trump, with Trump violating all rules and jumping up to attack the judge and attorney general again; the DC Court of Appeals grilling Trump’s lawyer and turning his arguments to ashes over whether Trump has immunity from any criminal prosecution; and whether Judge Cannon is about to dismiss the Mar a Lago indictment; and so much more from the intersection of law, politics and justice.DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS!Miracle Made: Upgrade your sleep with Miracle Made!

Trump LOSES BIG in Appeals Court, MASSIVE JUDGEMENT Against him LOOMS
Trump likes to lose more than once in front of the same appellate court. This time Trump has lost again in his efforts to stop next week’s E Jean Carroll defamation and punitive damage case against him, with the Second Circuit rejecting his request 13-0 to have the full court reconsider whether he has immunity from civil suit or not. Michael Popok explains why Trump is unlikely to appeal this to the Supreme Court and even if he did, why Justice Sotomayor the Justice in charge of NY federal matters is unlikely to grant an emergency appeal.Thanks to our sponsor HumanN!
