Summary

Karen Friedman Agnifilo and guest host Lisa Graves host the top-ranked law and politics podcast Legal AF and break down this week’s most explosive legal and political developments at the intersection of law and democracy. From the Supreme Court’s approval of California’s congressional maps, to the high-profile Hellerstein hearing on the attempted transfer of Trump’s Manhattan criminal case, KFA and Lisa explain how these decisions will shape the balance of power in Congress and the rule of law. They also dive into updates on the Epstein files, including how Judge Berman brokered a critical fix to victim redaction issues in that sprawling case. Finally, they tackle the latest developments in Minnesota, where federal immigration enforcement has been scaled back with 700 agents removed amid ongoing protests and legal turmoil.
