On today’s episode of Legal AF, Ben Meiselas takes the lead while Michael Popok is on a brief break—though he’ll be back next week. Ben breaks down how Donald Trump’s pattern of deception, from his handling of the war in Iran to his rhetoric at home, continues to collide with reality—especially in the courtroom, where rules of evidence and procedure can’t be spun. He explains how Trump’s “firehose of lies” may play to friendly media audiences but is failing to produce real-world results, both abroad and domestically. Ben also covers Trump’s latest legal setback, where a judge not only rejected his claims about needing a ballroom for national security purposes but openly mocked the argument. In addition, the episode examines Trump’s attempt to pursue a $10 billion claim against his own government over an alleged tax data breach, along with key developments unfolding on Capitol Hill this week. All that and more on today’s episode of Legal AF. Support our Sponsors: Bull Shot: Text LEGAL20 to 64000 for up to 20% off plus free shipping. Message and data rates may apply.
