    Trump's $10 Billion Loss could Trigger Another

    Popok explains that the second happiest entity on the planet about the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch having Trump’s case for billions of dollars in defamation damages dismissed against it by a Florida federal judge is the BBC. The BBC is waiting to hear if Trump’s case for billions against it is going to be dismissed by another judge in the Southern District of Florida federal court. Popok explains how the WSJ case could help the BBC in its case, giving a permission structure to a Trump judge to rule against him.   Lola: Get 35% off select Lola Blankets products at https://lolablankets.com by using code LEGALAF at checkout.

    Blanche Defeated as House Dems Start Planning Oversight Hearings to Bring DOJ and Blanche to Justice

    Popok briefs on how the House Oversight Committee led by Rep. Garcia and Judiciary Commitee chaired by Jamie Raskin will be used by the Democrats in their return to power to immediately start investigations of Musk and DOGE; Trump and his families money money making; corruption in the DOJ and on the federal bench; and the Trump-Epstein sex abuse conspiracy on day 1 of taking the gavel. Popok also explains that 90 percent of the time the focus will be on investigations and referrals to STATE prosecutors and the other 10 percent on the much harder constitutional impeachment and removal route. But it all matters.

    Trump Miscalculates as Senate Democrats Move to Block Any Supreme Court Vacancies Until 2028?

    Popok briefs on how last night’s historic wipeout for Trump and MAGA means that Trump will NOT be able to fill any Supreme Court vacancies for the remaining 2 years of his term, a huge miscalculation for Trump and Justices Alito and Thomas who want to retire AND allow Trump to ensure MAGA control of the court for the next 30 years. Instead, the Senate and House Democrats now in power have the landslide and mandate they need to block the seats AND reform the Court once and for all including adding 4 new Supreme Court seats, giving an incoming Democratic president up to SIX Supreme Court seats to fill!

    Trump Slammed with Election Day Injunction

    The smell of victory is in the air on Election Day, as the Chief Judge of the DC Federal Court, Jeb Boasberg, has issued an emergency restraining order to block the Trump Administration’s efforts to cancel out more than 20,000 California votes based on faulty data that would lead to citizens registered to vote having their votes thrown in the trash.  Popok examines Judge Boasberg’s order along with a half-dozen cases in the closing hours of the election, creating an uninterrupted string of losses for the Trump Administration and its goal of stealing the election from the People.

    Legal AF 11/3/2026

    On this Special Pre Election Night edition of Legal AF, Dina Doll and Lisa Graves discuss breaking news on a federal court dismissing Trump's efforts to intervene in the Alaska U.S. Senate race and how the Trump-controlled Justice Department has broken with long-standing rules against electoral disruption. They also discuss Trump running to the U.S. Supreme Court over California's ballots and CA Governor Gavin Newsom's efforts to counter Trump's operatives at polling places. Plus, they breakdown another big loss for Trump: the dismissal of his suit against the Wall Street Journal over its reporting on Trump's birthday sketch to his best friend Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.

    The award winning Legal AF Pod with founders Ben and Popok at the helm are back with a Special Midterm Election show, updating the audience on all voting and vote stealing lawsuits and their status with just hours to go before the election.  Will any of them end up at the Supreme Court and will the Court try to interfere with the election?  And while the Trump Administration tries unsuccessfully to interfere with the election so far, Trump hunkers down in the bunker with Natalie Harp and continues picking out wall paper and carpet colors as he tries to build and decorate his way out of the worst rating for a president at the midterms.   Support our Sponsors: Casper: Go to https://Casper.com for this Exclusive Offer!

    Trump DOJ Gets Epstein News it Feared

    In breaking news, the DC Federal Appeals Court led by its Chief Justice has ruled against the Trump Administration and the DOJ and for Katie Phang, and has required that the DOJ begin the process of translating the tens of thousands of pages of foreign language documents which lie at the heart of the Epstein-Trump child sex trafficking ring.  Popok puts this ruling in perspective with other Epstein developments this week alone, including the House Judiciary Committee Democrats issuing a 50 page report on Trump’s alleged sex crimes along side Epstein, the lead Epstein and Maxwell prosecutor getting her job back act the DOJ, and Judge Sullivan now on the verge of releasing the handwritten FBI notes about a victim who alleges she was 13 when Trump sexually and physically assaulted her.
