Summary

The midweek edition of LegalAF x MeidasTouch, the top-rated podcast covering law and politics, is anchored by national trial attorney and strategist, Michael Popok and former prosecutor and leading criminal defense attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo. On this week’s episode, Popok and KFA analyze: 1. Trump’s efforts to, on the one hand, disqualify the Florida federal judge he does not like in the racketeering case he filed against Hillary Clinton in Florida, while on the other, use a New York federal judge to stop the New York Attorney General’s investigation of him. 2. Bannon’s last ditch efforts to have his criminal contempt of Congress case thrown out by a D.C. Circuit federal judge before his July trial. 3. A Georgia federal judge’s decision to allow Georgia to continue to evaluate whether Marjorie Taylor Greene is an insurrectionist that is disqualified to run for office under the 14th Amendment’s “anti-insurrectionist” clause. 4. A Florida federal judge’s decision to prevent the Center for Disease Control from, well, controlling disease, by continuing to require masks on all public transportation.
