Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

Show Notes

The Supreme Court rejected a request from Donald Trump to reconsider its previous refusal to hear his appeal of a $5 million sexual abuse and defamation verdict won by writer E. Jean Carroll, finalizing the payout. The $5 Million Verdict: The high court officially turned away Trump's petition for a rehearing, keeping the 2023 jury finding and judgment fully intact. Trump previously turned over the $5 million plus interest. The Separate $83 Million Appeal: Trump has a separate pending appeal at the Supreme Court seeking to overturn a larger $83.3 million defamation verdict awarded to Carroll, which involves presidential immunity questions and is not expected to be acted upon by justices until after the fall recess.

We already know that Donald Trump and his corrupt executive branch officials are going to try to interfere in the upcoming elections. But the good news is, the blue state leadership - attorneys general, secretaries of state, state prosecutors - are ready to defeat Trump's election interference. And there's actually one lesser known reason blue states are well equipped to defeat trump: the states have a bit of a secret weapon at their disposal. Glenn discusses what the secret weapon is and why it will enable the states to kick Trump's butt in court.

Trump's Department of Justice officials have been violating court order after court order. Yet thus far, there have been no contempt of court sanctions for any of their willful defiance of court orders. Notably, there is one case in the system that continues to move in the direction of contempt: the case involving the unconstitutional deportation of Venezuelan immigrants to El Salvador, a case being presided over by the Chief Judge of the DC district court James Boasberg. Glenn discusses why federal judges may be reluctant to hold Trump administration officials in contempt of court.

Does Donald Trump ever gets tired of losing the lawsuits HE files? Remember the lawsuit he filed against Hillary Clinton for $24 million. That one was dismissed. Remember the suit he filed against the Wall Street Journal for $10 billion? That one was dismissed with prejudice! So Donald Trump has brought another lawsuit, this one against the BBC for its reporting about what he said on January 6. As part of discovery in the case, the BBC said it intends to subpoena Jack Smith to testify in a deposition. Donald Trump's lawyers have filed a court plating saying, in substance, 'whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, there's no need for that.' Glenn reviews the new court filing by Trump's lawyers who seem desperate to try to prevent Jack Smith from testifying in the case.

The first press conference by Trump's new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, was an complete train wreck. Compounding her problems, when she was asked in which state she was licensed to practice law, she answered, "when I went to China." Reporting emerged that, even though Zacharia had been holding herself out as a lawyer, she was never admitted to practice law in any state. Now, new reporting reveals that a nonprofit watchdog group filed an ethics complaint against Zacharia with the California state bar. Importantly, it is a crime in California to hold yourself out as a lawyer if you are not. Glenn spoke with Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News to discuss this disturbing legal development.
