Summary

Following the indictment of former President Trump last Thursday, many Republican lawmakers have voiced concerns about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's decision to prioritize pursuing charges against the former President when they believe crime, particularly in big cities like New York City, remains a prevalent issue. Furthermore, the timing of this indictment, which is happening seven years after former President Trump made the alleged hush money payments during his 2016 presidential campaign that he is being indicted for, has many questioning if Bragg intends to "interfere" in the primary election cycle that is set to kick off in the coming months. Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, who has been a prominent voice in discussing these concerns, joins to discuss how she believes the indictment of the former President illustrates a case of "malicious prosecution" rooted in political bias, why allowing personal politics into the U.S. justice system is unacceptable, and how she believes this indictment could politically impact the 2024 election cycle. Last week, a Maryland appellate court reinstated the murder conviction of Adnan Syed, the subject of the famed true crime podcast "Serial." Last fall, Syed was freed from his life sentence in prison after a circuit court found the evidence in his criminal trial to be unreliable. Now, his conviction has been reversed because the court did not give the victim's family proper notice so they could attend the hearing. So what happens next in this case? Criminal defense attorney Jonna Spilbor joins the podcast to explain the legal precedent for reversing the circumstances of Sayed's conviction, the impact the true crime podcast had on Sayed's freedom, and the unanswered questions that remain in this case. Plus, commentary by former lieutenant governor of New York and New York Post columnist, Betsy McCaughey. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
