Summary

Anchored by MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, the top-rated news analysis podcast LegalAF x MeidasTouch is back for another hard-hitting look at the wheels of justice in “real time” as they analyze and discuss this week’s most consequential developments at the intersection of law and politics. On this week’s episode, the anchors break-down and analyze: the Jan6 Committee subpoenaing Trump to testify and bring documents with him as the orchestrator of the plot to overthrow the Government; a California federal judge overseeing the turnover of John Eastman’s emails and texts to the Jan6 Committee, finding that Trump committed fraud in a Georgia federal court related to his false election fraud claims; Lindsey Graham’s efforts to avoid having to testify before District Attorney Fani Willis’ special grand jury, including his filing a Supreme Court emergency stay application; the Mar a Lago Special Master becoming frustrated with Trump’s efforts to claim executive privilege over documents to avoid them going to the DOJ; the sentencing of Steve Bannon and his likely appeal; and the 8th Circuit issuing a nation-wide injunction on the Biden student loan forgiveness program until a full appeal, while the Supreme Court simultaneously dismisses another set of challenges to the same program, and So Much More.
