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 decisions being made by Chief Judge Howell of the DC Circuit Court concerning Trump’s losing efforts to use executive and attorney client privilege to stop his former attorneys and others from testifying to various DC federal grand juries; a new lead DOJ prosecutor being added to the Mar a Lago prosecution and what it means for a possible Trump indictment; an agreement between the DOJ and Trump’s lawyers about the Special Master Mar a Lago document review process while the parties await a future ruling by the 11th Circuit on whether the Special Master should exist at all; motions to stay directed to the US Supreme Court of orders to testify against Lindsey Graham (Fulton County, Georgia’s criminal investigation) and Kelli Ward, Arizona GOP chair (Jan6 Committee); Mark Meadows being ordered to testify to the Fulton County special grand jury by a South Carolina state court judge; Judge Amy Berman Jackson presiding over Jan6 insurrectionists’ sentencing and convictions (and history as well), and so much more!
