Perhaps you have heard that there are 34 criminal charges filed against Donald Trump in New York. Perhaps you have heard that the case involves business records, payments to a porn star, and billings by Trump’s former attorney. And maybe you’re a bit confused.
Evelyn and Joe Lopez talk through the charges, what they are, and what is needed to make misdemeanor record keeping crimes into felonies. It’s pretty interesting!
Plus, we talk through the far more interesting Dominion v. Fox News case–but then that case settled yesterday so we won’t see the groundbreaking First Amendment litigation after all. Maybe the settlement ($787,5 million paid to Dominion) will serve as a cautionary tale to news media–don’t publish known false narratives because the penalties are high. We will surely see more of these issues over the next year.
Listen and let us know what you think!
