Hi, and welcome back to Maine Justice, which is, by the way, Mary, it's like the podcast formerly known as prosecuting Donald Trump. It's like Prince. So welcome back to Maine Justice. It's Tuesday morning. It's

January 14. I'm Andrew Weissman. And that other person who just you just heard the laugh from is

wonderful co-host, Mary McCord. Hi, Mary. Good morning, Andrew. It is kind of interesting to say when I

hear Welcome to Maine Justice,

I think I'm standing in Maine Justice or something, right? Which, of course, we are not,

as a matter of fact. But it is a little bit interesting because we just launched our name change

last week with the first episode of the new year. But today, honestly, our discussion is

going to be about the aftermath of the

prosecutions of Donald Trump. And so this particular episode would have still been

appropriately under our former title. Yes. So prosecuting Donald Trump post-mortem.

Yes. Yes. That's perfect. So what are we going to cover?

So we will start because so much has happened.

I think this almost seems like it's ancient history now, but it, of course, is not.

We will cover the historic first ever, which is a former president and incoming president

being sentenced for crimes. That sentencing occurred in New York

on Friday after the Supreme Court allowed it to go forward in a five to four boat. We will, of course,

talk then about the release by the Department of Justice at around 1 a.m. this morning of Jack Smith's final report, volume one,

which is about the January 6th case. But before we talk about volume one of the report, we will

talk about the weeks-long legal machinations by Donald Trump and his co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago

case, Walt Nata and Carlos D. Alvara, to prevent the release of both volumes of the report, volume one, related to January 6th, volume 2, related to Mar-a-Lago, and we will tell you where things stand with respect to volume 2. So there's just a ton on our agenda today.

Yeah, so should we start with the New York sentencing?

Yes.
