Trump’s CRUSHING LOSSES in Court KEEP PILING UP
Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo, joined by special guest anchor Dina Doll, are back for the midweek edition of the top-rated Legal AF podcast. On tap? 1. Trump is squirming to desperately avoid his criminal sentencing in New York, including getting the federal trial and appellate courts involved, and asking the state court judge for another stay. But will any of it work? 2. An overview of this week’s big conference with Judge Chutkan to get the new Trump criminal indictment (#5) back on track, as Trump —likely worried about the upcoming debate with VP Harris, takes the cowards way out and “waives” his appearance at the mandatory arraignment; (3) the Biden Harris Administration continues its fight at the Supreme Court to restore women to first class status in this country; and (4) so much more at the intersection of law and politics.Join the Legal AF Patreon: https://Patreon.com/LegalAFThanks to our sponsors: Moink: Sign up at https://MoinkBox.com/LEGALAF right now and listeners of this show get FREE hot rolls in your first box.MD Hearing: To get our $297 when you buy a PAIR offer, including a free charger, head to https://ShopMDHearing.com and use code LEGALAF.Miracle Made: Upgrade your sleep with Miracle Made!
