Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner Crossover Media Group

Judge Juan Merchan, the New York State court judge presiding over Donald Trump's criminal trial for interfering in the 2016 presidential election, found Trump guilty of a 10th count of criminal contempt of court for violating his gag order again. But once again, Judge Merchan only imposed a punishment of a $1000 fine. He also again warned Trump that, in the event he continues to violate the court's order, he could be jailed, "if necessary." IF NECESSARY!!? Glenn explains exactly why actually punishing Trump is, indeed, necessary.

Donald Trump's longtime aide and confidant, Hope Hicks, testified as a witness for the prosecution in Trump's New York State trial for falsifying business records to gain unfair advantage in the 2016 presidential election. There's been plenty of discussion about how damaging HIck's testimony was to the former president. Glenn explains why he thinks prosecutors called Hicks as the last witness on a Friday before the jury went out for the weekend, and why, by the end of the trial, it will become even more clear why her testimony was sharply incriminating of Trump.

It's not often that a presiding judge publicly calls out a defendant for lying outside the courtroom. Yet, that is precisely what New York State court judge Juan Merchan found himself having to do when Donald Trump claimed that a gag order prohibited him from testifying in his own defense at trial.

As reported by The Hill, the "Judge in Trump's hush money (election interference) case clarifies gag order doesn't prevent ex-president from testifying."

And perhaps the worst part - at least for the legal profession - is that, as Trump lied to the American people, his defense attorney stood by his side smiling and nodding.

In a moment that makes one wonder if we will ever learn our lesson, Donald Trump gives an interview to Time magazine and says he won't rule out violence if he loses the 2024 election. As CNN reported, "Trump doesn't rule out political violence if he loses." This prompts one obvious question . . . what the hell are we doing!?

Donald Trump has many "firsts" to his credit: first former president criminally indicted by a state; first former president criminally indicted by the feds; first former president tried for his crimes; and now, first former president held in criminal contempt. Glenn reviews Judge Juan Merchan's order, finding - beyond a reasonable doubt - that Donald Trump violated New York law nine times by committing the crime of contempt of court. Glenn also discusses the implications of this finding in the four criminal cases in which Trump is on pretrial release.

Donald Trump is indicted on 88 felony counts, across four jurisdictions, for crimes he committed - many of them while he was serving as president. Trump's lawyer, John Sauer, argued before the U.S. Supreme Court that Trump shouldn't be prosecuted for the crimes that were committed while he was in office. Specifically, Sauer said that the following acts are official presidential acts that would be covered by presidential immunity: ordering the assassination of a political rival; ordering the military to stage a coup to keep the president in power after he lost an election; and selling our nation's nuclear secrets to a foreign adversary. But Glenn says he's worried about something even worse than Sauer's deeply anti-democratic, anti-rule-of-law, and anti-constitutional arguments. Some of the Supreme Court Justices seemed to be seriously entertaining those arguments. And none more that Justice Samuel Alito.
