18d ago10:44

10:44

Judge Juan Merchan is about to decide if Donald Trump is guilty of criminal contempt for violating the court's gag order at his election interference trial in New York.

Glenn discusses the three goals of a prosecution's opening statement and the three goals of a defense opening statement. There are always lots of tactical challenges for both the prosecutors and the defense attorneys.

Evidence From Trump's Earlier Statement of Facts Contradicts His Hush Money Alibi 14:12

28d ago14:12

14:12

Criminal trials can often be a bit like popularity contests. Each attorney will strive to be liked, trusted, and respected by the jury. In a sense, each attorney will want to be the most popular in the eyes of the jury. But more importantly - how does the jury views the defendant? Does the defendant come across as likeable, trustworthy, or honorabl…

New York Attorney General Tish James Challenges Trump's $175 Million Bond 12:17

1M ago12:17

12:17

So it looks like the person that put up the $175 million bond to stop New York Attorney General Leticia James from seizing Trump's properties - a guy named Don Hankey - is not actually credentialed to do business in New York. Accordingly, Attorney General James filed a "notice of exception" to the bond, and Judge Arthur Engoron has now set a hearin…

In an absurd legal brief, Trump's lawyers file a motion with New York State court judge Juan Merchan asking him to delay the April 15th trial date because there is too much publicity surrounding Trump and his crimes.
