Summary

Trial attorneys and co-anchors Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok are back with a new episode of the weekend edition of the LegalAF podcast. On this episode, they debate: the future ramifications in Trump’s criminal and civil cases of the DC appeals court ruling that there is no presidential immunity for Trump to avoid the civil suit brought by Capitol and DC Metro police and members of congress for his role in the Jan6 riot; a federal criminal trial judge finding that Trump has no “presidential immunity” from the Special Counsel’s election interference DC indictment; a NY appellate court reversing course and re-instating Judge Engoron’s two gag orders against Trump and his lawyers in the Civil Fraud case, as Trump starts bashing the Judge’s wife and the trial judge sets oral argument in January; a new suit claims that Trump’s favorite Alina Habba was used to “groom” a female employee of his Bedminster golf course to coerce her into a settling a sex harassment case without consulting any attorney; and so much more from the intersection of law, politics and justice.
