We are just days away from hearing arguments regarding Trump’s claim of “total presidential immunity”in the DC Circuit Court of Appeals; we’ll be discussing those briefs. Jack Smith has subpoenaed the firms Trump paid to investigate the 2020 election. Trump moves to hold DoJ in contempt for continuing to meet pre-trial filing deadlines while the DC case is stayed.

Plus, we have some great listener questions.
