Trump doesn’t want to be VIDEOTAPED in his own deposition in the defamation case he brought against the BBC, and Popok has a good thought as to why! The BBC fires back and also tries to get 2 of Trump’s OWN lawyers, his former White House Counsel and Deputy White House Counsel, to testify AGAINST HIM in his defamation suit, and Popok explains how a judge Trump hates, Chief Judge Boasberg, is at the heart of the matter.
Popok reports on a major hearing today, as Trump tries to avoid having his deposition videotaped in his own BBC defamation case for obvious reasons, and the BBC runs to DC to get Chief Judge Boasberg to let them depose all of Trump's main White House lawyers on Jan6 to testify against him and for the BBC!
A federal judge just told Trump in effect to “Sit Down” for a deposition by December 11 or risk having his “10 billion Dollar Lawsuit” against the BBC for damages related to his Jan6 kick off speech dismissed. Popok, a master of video depositions, explains why video depositions are used (disclosing some trade secrets while he is at), and why Trump may be seriously thinking about dropping the case given his track record when ordered to depositions in civil cases.
Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo take the controls of the Legal AF podcast, joined by special guest Allison Gill of The Daily Beans pod, to discuss the likely results of the midterm elections, given Trump’s historically abysmal polling numbers; Trump’s calling the stone-cold killer Putin a “humanitarian”; Alina Habba’s apparent failure to do proper due diligence on the person she married, as she gets caught up in a $17.6 million diversion scheme; Allison’s perseverance in trying to obtain the nine FBI training videos used to keep information about Trump’s documents from the public in the Epstein files; the bombshell lawsuit by the New Mexico attorney general against Epstein’s closest inner circle for sex trafficking; and Trump’s giving Jack Smith yet another platform to tell the American people what a criminal Trump really is before the midterms. All that and so much more, at the intersection of law and politics.
Popok reports on a possible money laundering, bribery and criminal foreign lobbying scheme involving Trump’s former attorney Alina Habba, her turkish new husband, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the US!
