Welcome to the midweek edition of Legal AF. We have the return of the dynamic duo, Michael

Popak and my co-host. Well, I haven't seen it quite some time because of summer and family

commitments and all those other things. Karen Friedman, I can if you love Karen, how

are you? Great, it's so good to be back. It's amazing how personal and other commitments

get in the way sometimes, but summer. Summer, but we're so glad you're back. The fall

is here. I'm wearing sort of a fall color sport coat for those that are watching this

on YouTube and other places and we are ready to bring the most consequential stories from

this week at the intersection of law and politics. We're going to start. Karen and I

are going to start with the Department of Justice having accelerated and ramping up their

efforts to prosecute Donald Trump and all those around them with not one, not two, but

likely three or more grand juries that are in play in Washington, D.C. And we'll talk

about what we think each of the grand juries is investigating. And the issuance of 40 or

more subpoenas, 40 to everyone in the Trump orbit, including lawyers. And another lawyer

enters the hall of fame of having his cell phone picked up and reviewed by the FBI Department

of Justice having been close to Donald Trump. And that is Boris Epstein. And we're going

to talk about him as well, that lustrous hall of fame that he's entered. Another Trump

lawyer has lost his phone to the Department of Justice. And we'll talk about what that

we think that all means and Karen from a prosecutor's standpoint, what you think that means.

And then we're going to turn to an update on Mar-a-Lago, all things, espionage act and obstruction

of justice. And what is happening in the courtroom of Judge Cannon between the Department

of Justice and Donald Trump's lawyers over those, oh, those pesky 100 classified documents

that Donald Trump decided to take as a personal souvenir when he left the White House.
