Remember Katie Zacharia? She was White House press secretary for a few days last week and was fired while we were recording this episode. One of her big offenses was claiming to be a lawyer, despite never passing the bar. But what is a lawyer anyway? Is a lawyer different from an attorney? Also this week: the raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home, the White House’s effort to use antitrust as a new tool against the press, and updates about East Potomac Park and the Cornell Seven. Premium subscribers will hear about: * JPMorgan plaintiff Chirayu Rana has irreconcilable differences with another set of lawyers. * A teenager who was arrested for riding an unlicensed e-bike (and then released without charge) sues CBS News for implying he vandalized the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. * A Haverford College religion professor is charged with cyberstalking a Jewish colleague by harassing him with anti-Semitic sock puppet accounts. * D.J. Byrnes is guilty (and fined $200) in the Shrek’s penis case. * Kimberly Guilfoyle faces a bizarre defamation lawsuit.

Remember Joseph DiGenova? He was a Trump defender from the first administration brought back to help with the investigation into the investigators that DOJ is running down in south Florida. Well, he’s gone again. He seems to have had some disputes with the Attorney General about the conduct of that investigation — “if you want indictments where there’s no evidence, you have an ethical problem,” he told the New York Post. Plus: Donald Trump continues to be stymied in his efforts to rename the Kennedy Center after himself — his latest threat is that he’ll tear down the building if he doesn’t get his way. Former immigration judge Chloe Dillon sues over her firing, Mahmoud Khalil sues,Columbia University, injunctions against ICE and legal victories for people who were fired for saying not-nice things about Charlie Kirk, a lawsuit against Lufthansa, whose employee outed a gay couple in Saudi Arabia — does that create a claim in the United States, where they were flying to? And finally: Kash Patel and bizarrely relaxed hiring metrics at the FBI and a right-wing media figure who resolved defamation litigation with an apology for lying about Patel’s girlfriend.
