Summary

Is there a world where Donald Trump’s classified documents trial begins before the 2024 presidential election? That’s a question that The New Abnormal co-host Danielle Moodie asks Melissa Murray, a professor of law at NYU and an MSNBC talking head and legal analyst, on the latest episode of the show. Murray thinks so and why, along with her trial timeline prediction down to the month she thinks it could begin. Also on this episode: Danielle and co-host Andy Levy listen to a video that Trump released on his Truth Social account, which they say is a preview of what another one of his presidencies will look like (full-on authoritarian) and Sarah McLaughlin, Senior Scholar, Global Expression at the Foundation for Individual Rights in Expression (FIRE), spars (kindly!) with Andy about religious freedom of speech and explains why the UN Human Rights Council’s resolution that supports the prosecution of blasphemy won’t be so “pretty” in practice.
