In today's longform weekend podcast - Glenn gives us an update on Donald Trump's federal election interference trial. First, Special Counsel Jack Smith proposes a speedy trial date in the DC case to fulfill the people's right. Glenn talks about how the Speedy Trial Act has taken the spotlight and in the court filing by the DOJ - he discusses how Jack Smith corrects Trump's attorney John Lauro, on who the Speedy Trial Act actually benefits. Then, people are saying Lauro is acting more like a campaign chairman than a lawyer - spreading Trump's propaganda in and out of court. Glenn explains why that's unprofessional and says he should be referred to the Bar Counsel for misconduct. And finally, many people feel the January 6th trial should be aired live on TV for everyone to watch. Glenn says you should copy the following paragraph and send it to your elected officials because you have a right to watch it.

Call to action: Please copy and share! Ask for your right to view Trump's trial!

Dear _____________ (elected official),

In Count 4 of his most recent indictment, Donald Trump is charged with victimizing the American voters by conspiring to deprive us of our right to vote. As crime victims, the American people have a right "not to be excluded" from Trump's trial, which will be held in Washington, DC. I am asserting my rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act, 18 US Code section 3771(a)(3), not to be excluded from the trial. Given that the courtroom has a limited capacity, if the trial is not televised, I will be excluded from the courtroom in violation of my federal legal statutory rights. Accordingly, I respectfully request that you do everything in your power to ensure that my legal right to attend Donald Trump's trial is not violated. Thank you

Sincerely,
