Summary

Anchored by Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok, the top-rated podcast -- Legal AF -- is back for another hard-hitting look at the most consequential developments at the intersection of law and politics. On this weekend’s edition the anchors discuss: 1. Special Counsel Jack Smith serving Trump with a new “criminal target” letter as a precursor to impending DC indictment for Jan6 crimes, as his team continues having witnesses come into the grand jury for testimony against Trump and others; 2. Judge Cannon presiding over the Mar a Lago Florida federal criminal case sets a trial date right in the middle of the Republican primary season, as she considers when to issue her required protective order over the classified documents to be used; 3. Fulton County, Georgia DA Fani Willis completing a week of grand jury work in her criminal investigation of Trump ad others without interruption, as the future charges she will bring come into focus; 4. Trump’s federal and state court epic losing streak continuing and backfiring on him, as he loses: (a) his motion to have his “Stormy Daniels” cover up Manhattan criminal case set for trial in March 2024 removed to federal court; (b) his motion get a new trial and reduce the damages award in the E Jean Carroll defamation and battery case; and (c) his petition to have the all Republican-appointed Georgia Supreme Court stop Fani Willis’ grand jury process, stop her from using already developed evidence and witness testimony and have her disqualified from the case, and so much more.

Special counsel, Jack Smith sent a target letter to Donald Trump indicating that an indictment for 2020 election interference by Trump is imminent.

0:36.0

And Trump reacted about as deranged as you would expect.

0:40.0

And this past week, special counsel, Jack Smith, in addition to sending the target letter, he was hard at work.

0:46.0

He even told Donald Trump he want to show up on Thursday and testify before the grand jury, Donald Trump didn't take him up on that offer.

But special counsel, Jack Smith did get the testimony of former Trump aid and current Trump campaign staff or will rustle.

And allegedly questions were asked about Donald Trump's intent also in the federal criminal case against Donald Trump for the willful retention of national defense information obstruction of justice.

And other crimes that took place at that crime scene known as Mara Lago, who a federal judge, of course, you know, or Judge Eileen Cannon set a new trial date.

1:28.0

Let's discuss that new trial date, what it means for the case, and where this current trial date by Judge Eileen Cannon fits in with all of the other trial dates that Donald Trump is going to have to contend with turning to Georgia.

1:42.0

To Georgia, we've learned more about Fulton County District Attorney, Fannie Willis's plans before the grand jury that was recently in panel there where Pope, and I expect an indictment against Donald Trump in the coming weeks will discuss that also a week of major court losses for Donald Trump.

Fannie Willis's criminal investigation was, yeah, you guessed it, denied, but also in addition to being denied these orders were scathing three scathing orders will break them down and some breaking news from earlier in the day Georgia governor Brian Kemp confirmed to different media outlets that special counsel Jack Smith's team has been in contact with his office.

2:58.0

The governor wouldn't say anything more than that, but again showing that special counsel Jack Smith is going right to the top there speaking with the secretaries of state speaking to the governor speaking to top people who are ultimately I believe going to be witnesses when this indictment drops against Donald Trump.

3:42.0

What I tried to do on this Popak quarter board, which is going to tie right through everything we're going to do on this segment is and we're going to flash it up here is go over where the primaries in the Republican party are given the various trial dates for Donald Trump I call it Trump trials.
