In breaking news, a Federal Judge has ordered that Pam Bondi explain what she meant by having the “Epstein Client List” on her desk and explain where those documents are, finding insufficient a new sworn statement by the Trump Administration that there is no such list despite Bondi telling the public that there is one and she had it on her desk. Popok reports on a suit by independent journalist Jimmy Tobias that is roasting the DOJ and Pam Bondi just before she steps into House and Senate oversight hearings next week.

A DOJ attorney broke down in tears in Minnesota federal court today, declared that her job and the system “sucks,” and begged Fed Judge Blackwell to throw her in jail for contempt because she can’t get her client ICE to abide by the court’s orders, and she desperately needs sleep. And she volunteered for this job no less! Popok reports on ICE breaking the law and federal court orders, and what the Court system and Chief Judge are prepared to do about it.

A Trump appointed Judge in Minneapolis just concluded that the Federal Government “failed to safeguard” Alex Pretti’s firearm according to “normal law enforcement proceedings” and also observed that it “appears likely” that other key evidence was “lost”, inviting future lawyers for Pretti to file motions about the destroyed evidence.

Trump and Pam Bondi’s latest attempt to abuse a federal judge into submission has met with defeat, as the Chief Judge of the 6th Circuit has effectively exonerated Chief Judge Boesberg in DC of any ethics violations or misconduct. Popok explains that Judge Boesberg presides over a series case of civil liberties and rights violations and possible contempt charges against the DOJ and Kristi Noem, and that the DOJ or its agents have filed a half a dozen such complaints against Judges and NONE have been successful.

A DOJ attorney told a Black federal judge that as a person of color, she is concerned that her own client, ICE, is using illegal racial profiling techniques and she fears for her own family’s safety. Popok reports on the curious case of the accidental whistleblower Julie Le and the fact that the DOJ is so desperate for talent and people to work for them, that they didn’t even fire her for begging a Judge to put her in a jail cell so she can get some sleep! A war had broken out between the DOJ and its own client ICE, who refuses to comply with their advice and court orders. The time for hundreds of contempt proceedings to be opened against the Trump Administration is now. Americans United: Learn more at Https://au.org/legalaf Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

Karen Friedman Agnifilo and guest host Lisa Graves host the top-ranked law and politics podcast Legal AF and break down this week’s most explosive legal and political developments at the intersection of law and democracy. From the Supreme Court’s approval of California’s congressional maps, to the high-profile Hellerstein hearing on the attempted transfer of Trump’s Manhattan criminal case, KFA and Lisa explain how these decisions will shape the balance of power in Congress and the rule of law. They also dive into updates on the Epstein files, including how Judge Berman brokered a critical fix to victim redaction issues in that sprawling case. Finally, they tackle the latest developments in Minnesota, where federal immigration enforcement has been scaled back with 700 agents removed amid ongoing protests and legal turmoil.

In breaking news, Fulton County, Georgia, is fighting back against Trump’s attempt to federalize elections and seize all of their 2020 voter data in 656 boxes of material, in a new federal court lawsuit and filing to stop the Feds from searching through any of their data. Popok reports that Fulton County sees this as a struggle to protect the Constitution, and he connects the dots between Ed Martin, Sydney Powell, Tulsi Gabbard, and the investigation being run out of the Missouri US Attorney’s Office and not Georgia.

In breaking news, the Chief Judge of Minnesota federal courts patience has worn thin with ICE, as he notes in a new order that “ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence” cataloguing more than 96 violations by ICE and the DOJ in the last 30 days, and threatening to hold someone in contempt if it happens one more time.

In breaking news, independent journalist Don Lemon has been arrested by Federal Agents while covering the Grammy Awards in LA last night. Michael Popok explains how 3 separate Courts in Minnesota, from the Magistrate to the Chief Judge to 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, all rejected an attempt to arrest Don and recognized his First Amendment Rights as a journalist. Yet the Trump DOJ, to distract from the en masse resignations planned in the Minneapolis US Attorneys’ Office to protest the refusal to properly investigate the Pretti and Good murders, has now vindictively gone after Don.

With only 90 days to go on his term as Fed Chair, Jay Powell once again, in a public speech, told Trump, “hands off” the Federal Reserve’s independence! Popok puts on his Wall Street hat to look at the dire Trump Economy numbers for the last 48 hours, with the skyrocketing oil prices, plummeting consumer confidence and US dollar, increasing Trade Deficit, and a Fed Reserve trying desperately to navigate the turbulence and save the Economy from Trump’s erratic policies.

In a new federal court filing, the Trump Administration is using “patently absurd” and “almost laughable” so-called “evidence” to prove that 137 Venezuelans sent in the middle of the night in violation of a court order, are members of a notorious narco-terrorist gang, such as they wear Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls Jerseys!. Popok reports on new filings and Chief Judge Boesberg demanding that the Trump Administration explain why they continue to deny these 137 men Due Process despite court orders to the contrary. 3 Day Blinds: For their buy 1 get 1 50% off deal, head to https://3DayBlinds.com/LEGALAF.

The DOJ may have just thrown their boss Pam Bondi under the bus, providing a word salad nonsensical explanation to a Federal Judge who has demanded that they explain why her letter to the Minnesota Governor the night Alex Pretti was executed, does not represent extortion or a “ransom letter.” Popok takes a critical eye to the DOJ’s new barely there defense of Bondi, as Trump makes it worse and more likely the Judge will rule against his Administration, with another deranged social media post.

A grand jury has come and gone in Minnesota, and still no indictment of journalist Don Lemon, as the Chief Judge of Minnesota —an arch republican conservative— basically exonerates Don of any crimes in an unprecedented set of letters to his bosses at the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. Popok puts it all in perspective as Trump’s senior cabinet members, Kristie Noam and Pam Bondi, are humiliated by courts, judges, and Trump in the last 24 hours.

In a shocking turn of events in the Alex Pretti shooting investigation, the Trump DOJ in sworn filings to a Federal Judge, from the FBI, Border Patrol and Homeland Security, not only OPPOSE the Judge’s order for them NOT to destroy evidence, but they admit to: (a) trampling the crime scene; (b) destroying the chain of custody about evidence collected from the scene of the shooting; and c) can’t tell the Court where Mr. Pretti’s own handgun is, the alleged impetus for him being shot 10 x by Border Patrol. Popok explains that based on today’s hearing and these filings, Judge Tostrud is unlikely to lift his injunction, especially since most of the agents refused to tell the court that they had NOT already destroyed evidence!

In breaking news, a Trump appointed Federal Judge has issued an extraordinary emergency restraining order over night, without even hearing from the Trump Administration, to block the Administration from doing anything to “conceal or alter” evidence from the Alex Pretti crime scene, indicating that even Trump fed judges don’t trust this Administration not to destroy crime scene evidence about a federal officer’s shooting of a US Citizen who was exercising his 1st and Second Amendment rights.

Trump’s invasion of Minnesota takes another dark and dangerous turn. Tonight on Legal AF, Ben and Popok breaks down how Americans are no longer safe in their own homes, members of the press are being targeted, and another U.S. citizen protester has been shot and killed as federal forces escalate their presence on the ground. We examine the constitutional collapse unfolding in real time — where First Amendment rights, Fourth Amendment protections, and basic human safety are being trampled under the guise of “law and order.” We also turn to the global stage, where the world — led by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney — has decisively rejected Donald Trump’s strongman tactics and sent him packing in diplomatic defeat. Back at home, Special Counsel Jack Smith reminds America of a sobering truth: the White House is occupied by a criminal, and accountability has not disappeared just because Trump wishes it would. Finally, we look ahead to the Supreme Court, where even this Court appears poised to deal Trump a significant loss — signaling serious trouble for his tariff agenda and exposing the limits of presidential power. It’s a packed, urgent episode focused on truth, law, and the fight to preserve our constitutional democracy.

Is Trump building a secret harden bunker deep under the Golden Ball Room with money he diverted and laundered through the Park Service public accounts to his private White House residence bank accounts? All of these issues came out in public during a hearing before Federal Judge Leon, who seems poised to issue a “stop work order” to prevent further vertical construction of the Ball Room without Congressional approval. Michael Popok ties it all together.

In breaking news, 2 Trump officials have anonymously blown the whistle on the administration and leaked the existence of a secret May 2025 ICE memo telling ICE Agents to go ahead and ignore the 4th Amendment preventing illegal searches and seizures in peoples homes, and use Trump administrative official issued Administrative warrants not supervised by a federal judge, to break down doors and arrest undocumented migrants in their own homes. Popok explains how this is violative of decades of Supreme Court precedent requiring that only a Judicial Branch Federal Judge can issue an arrest warrant to break into someone’s home. All this against the backdrop of masked armed ICE agents using a 5-year-old little boy as BAIT to capture family members in Minnesota, and Trump’s chief Immigration official telling his colleagues they can ignore Federal Court orders.

Trump, trying desperately to distract from a new cycle from hell (Greenland fail; Supreme Court fail; Jack Smith fail), just filed a lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase and Jamie Dimond for “debanking” Trump and some of his companies, and “blackllsiting” them, that now opens him up to depositions and discovery about: a) his companies Tax Fraud convictions; b his companies and children’s civil fraud judgment and court ordered monitor; c) his more than 75 felony counts of indictments, and last but not least, an alleged $8 million dollar loan into Truth Social from sources linked to Putin and a porn-industry bank in Domenica reported in the Washington Post. Popok takes a hard look at the complaint and points out that it is factually at odds with another suit filed by Trump against the WaPo in Sarasota, Florida, in 2023.

As Trump short circuited today on the way to Switzerland (literally), his cowardice was in full view, as he threw Lindsey Halligan under the bus and let her resign in disgrace on the receiving end of back to back federal court orders in the last 24 hours. Popok explains how this links to a growing list of Trump political hacks having to resign in disgrace, as Trump succumbed to political pressure and the will of the people again.

A federal judge just invited members of congress and Epstein Survivors to file a federal lawsuit against the DOJ for its willful violation the Epstein Transparency Act as it continues to “disappear” millions of documents, denying the survivors the dignity and justice they deserve. Popok who represents one of the survivor leaders Lisa Phillips reports on Judge Engelmeyer’s order that may have found he doesn’t have the power to appoint a special master to force the production of Epstein documents, but invited a new lawsuit at the very same time.
