Trump BRACES For CRIMINAL VERDICT As Defense BLOWS IT
Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo are back for the Midweek edition of the top-rated Legal AF podcast. On this episode, the anchors discuss and debate: (1) the jury instructions to be used at the Trump Trial and how they favor the prosecution as the jury gets the case in deliberation next week; (2) whether the assertion of executive privilege by President Joe Biden saves Attorney General Merrick Garland from a contempt charge by MAGA Congress; (3) whether Judge Cannon will dismiss the case against Trump’s co-conspirator Walt Nauta, and (4) and another jan6 and Christian flag being flown after Sam Alito’s summer house has been located, so much more at the intersection of law and politics.Join the Legal AF Patreon: https://Patreon.com/LegalAFThanks to our sponsors: Liquid IV: Get 20% off when you go to https://Liquid-IV.com and use code LEGALAF at checkout!
