Popok reports on a bombshell new report just issued by Congress that accuses the lead fundraisers for Trump from lying to donors and having them wire tens of millions of dollars they thought were going to the official, bipartisan America250 account to a sound a like bank account for "Freedom250" under the control of Trump and to make him money.

In breaking news, a political target and critic of Trump, Former CIA Director John Brennan, is not waiting around to see when he is indicted, but has filed an aggressive new lawsuit to force the Trump Administration to stop destroying documents and using “disappearing” messaging apps about information that Brennan needs to file his Vindictive Prosecution motion. Popok reports that Brennan also calls out the relationship between Judge Aileen Cannon and Trump and his DOJ!Check out The Popok Firm: https://thepopokfirm.com Subscribe:  @LegalAFMTN  Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

In stunning news, E Jean Carroll’s lawyers have accused Trump of defaming and attacking his sex abuse survivor AGAIN in retaliation for his having LOST at the US Supreme Court to overturn her judgment, as he tries to avoid paying her the first of 2 jury verdicts in her favor, this one now standing at $5.5 million. Popok reports that Trump goes so far in his attack as to claim that the “United States of America” is who the case is really about (?!?), not his sex attack!

In shocking news, the sloppy and corrupt DOJ has once again mishandled documents and information, and has now had to file very late to tell Judge Aileen Cannon that they “inadvertently” disclosed, a MONTH AGO, to a third party, the sealed Mar-a-Lago Jack Smith Volume 2 report about Trump’s indicted espionage act violations!. Popok updates on the fight over the public disclosure of the Report, the indictment of a former Assistant US Attorney for allegedly trying to take it home, and what’s happening at the 11th Circuit and efforts to overturn Judge Cannon’s rulings.

Where is Melania, where are the angry press conferences and denials, now that no one on the US Supreme Court— not even the 2 justices accused in their lifetimes of sex abuse — came to Trump’s rescue and overturned him being found guilty and branded a sex abuser by a 9-0 jury? Popok takes a hard look at the testimony at trial of People Mag reporter Natasha Stoynoff, credited by the jury, and her links to Melania Trump, and explains why E Jean Carroll is likely to obtain the full, almost $100 million she is owed by Trump in the next severa...

In breaking news, a 6-3 Majority of the US Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Roberts, has rejected Trump’s efforts to rip away birthright citizenship from children born in this country to parents who are here in violation of immigration law or here temporarily. Popok explains that fireworks broke out in the opinion between Roberts and the Majority and Clarence Thomas (joined by Gorsuch and Alito) in the dissent.

The number 1 group that may be responsible for protecting Federal Judges, empowering them to root out fraud and corruption by the DOJ and Trump, and ring fencing our rule of law, may be the 300+ former federal and state judges yoked together by Judge J. Michael Luttig and Nancy Gertner, who have filed dozens of briefs, motions and applications to give federal judges the support they need and encourage emergency action. Popok reports on 3 such examples in the last 14 days with 35 former fed judges supporting Judge Williams to find fraud on the court by trump in Miami; another 174 federal judges...

Senior Federal Judge Brinkema in her new Order about the “weaponization fund” declared, in effect, that Acting AG Todd Blanche continued unwillingness to testify under oath and “put anything in writing” about the Fund actually supports her view that the fund is not “dead” but that Trump and Blanche still want to revive it if they can get away from Court oversight. Popok explains that Judge Brinkema’s order saying that she does not and cannot trust Blanche or the DOJ is extraordinary, as he explains what happens next.

Popok reports on Congresswoman Joyce Beatty's new filing to Federal Judge Cooper decrying that Trump's captured "Trump Kennedy Center" Board of Trustees likely lied to the Court about the need for a semi-permanent tarp to cover up Trump's name off (and Kennedy's name on), about the delay in taking down the name in the first place, and by openly defying the court's order about the name change including holding the Center's needed fundraising hostage in continued violation of the Board's fiduciary duties to the public.

In breaking news, at least 2 federal judges are considering whether to appoint a Special Prosecutor independent from the corrupted DOJ, to investigate whether the DOJ committed a fraud (or 2) on the Court and should be held in criminal contempt. Popok reports on a new motion just filed before Judge Perry in Chicago Fed Court demanding that a Special Counsel be appointed by her to investigate DOJ corruption even as high as beleaguered AG nominee Todd Blanche, as Judge Coleman in the same courtroom considers doing the same thing arising out of Grand Jury abuse. And while Judges Perry and...

Popok is joined by journalist extraordinaire Don Lemon to give his unique perspective of the Trump Administration's possible use of criminal investigations and indictments against the NYT based on their reporting supported by what looks to be secretly recorded conversations in the Situation Room; Governor Newsom getting ahead of the story of his investigation, and Federal Judges vigilant against grand jury abuse by the Trump DOJ.

The DOJ and AG nominee Todd Blanche have informed a Senior Federal Judge that they will REFUSE to comply and file sworn testimony under oath to declare once and for all that the Anti-Weaponization Slush Fund is dead and buried, instead effectively telling Judge Brinkema to go pound sand.  Popok ties this outrageous fling together with Judge Williams in Miami’s next move, which may have the Slush Fund declared fraudulent after today, as well as the utter refusal by Todd Blanche to ever testify to a court under oath, even if it means the DOJ loses.

As the Epstein Investigation by the House Oversight Committee heats up again because of a sustained pressure campaign by Epstein Survivors, and new witnesses are called forward, including Bill Gates and now Alan Dershowitz (Epstein’s criminal defense attorney), insiders wonder if Todd Blanche’s confirmation hearing for AG can survive, or whether there are enough Republicans to jump off the bandwagon. Popok, with recent interviews from Epstein Survivor Dani Benski and Senator Whitehouse, explains why the Epstein Scandal may not just be Trump’s undoing but Blanche’s too.

Popok, along with his interview with Don Lemon, explains why the Trump Administration and its DOJ have not as of yet gone after the Times’ reporters, who brilliantly left a “proof of life” disclosure in their reporting to ward off any criminal investigation.

The Trump White House is in a frenzy as they try to track down the Administration Official or Officials who may have secretly recorded Situation Room meetings about the Epstein Cover Up AND the Iranian War plans, and leaked them to the NYT.

Did AG Nominee Todd Blanche forge a key piece of correspondence between his law firm and his criminal clients, commit malpractice, and overbill the case when he was in private practice before working for Trump? All of these questions have been raised in a lawsuit still pending in a New York court.

When journalists and commentators have to break the glass ceiling and fill the void and file suits against the Trump Administration that they cover, it’s a courageous act that is emblematic of what is right and good about independent media. And when, surprisingly, the public overwhelmingly supports their suits, even the MAGA side, it makes even hard-nosed journalists know they did the right thing.
