Summary

Attorney Leonard Goodman returns to the show to talk about the government’s case against his clients in the Uhuru Movement. These left-wing activists have been tied up in court, fighting ridiculous charges that allege they were working for the Russians when they spoke out against the war in Ukraine shortly after it broke out. The trial wrapped up recently. Goodman updates Scott on the results and the likely next steps in this important legal battle for free speech.
