Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to explain the allegations that Trump abused a minor revealed in the latest release from the Epstein files and investigate whether the statute of limitations applies. Then, the #Sisters look at the legality of the Iran war by diving into how it began, the ability of Congress to limit Trump’s war powers, and the treatment of casualties by the administration. They also discuss state challenges to the administration's attempt to continue levying tariffs under Section 122 of the Trade Act after the SCOTUS struck them down due to the legal interpretation of the International Economic Powers Act.
