As it turns out - the first case in which Donald Trump was criminally indicted will be the first case to go to trial. Judge Juan Merchan reaffirmed that Trump's 2016 election interference/hush money/falsifying business records case will begin on March 25th. Judge Merchan issued a 30-page order denying all of Trump's various motions to dismiss the case. Glenn reviews and summarizes the judges denial of all Trump's motions to dismiss the case against him.

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!?

Trump Tells Time Magazine that He Won't Rule Out Violence if He Loses the Election

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.

Judge Merchan Finds Donald Trump in Criminal Contempt of Court

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.

Will the Supreme Court Buy Trump's Claim that He's Immune from Prosecution?

Donald Trump, on trial in New York for 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, has denied any relationship with Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels. Yet he arranged for them to be paid more than $100,000 each to cover up information they could provide about him, so that information would not hurt his election chances in the 2016 presidential election. He then falsified business records to disguise the true nature of the payments he made to Daniels.

Even though McDougal and Daniels took no part in falsifying those business records, Glenn explains why their testimony may prove to be some on the most damning evidence in the eyes of the jurors.

Testimony of McDougal & Daniels May Be Some of the Most Damning Evidence Against Trump

As The New York Times reported, " Trump's Trial Could Bring a Rarity: Consequences for His Words." People are fully aware that Donald Trump says and posts anything that occurs to him in the moment, without any filter or regard for the truth of what he's saying or the consequences of the lies he tells. But now that Trump is moving from the court of public opinion into the actual courts of criminal law - there are several ways his words will come back to haunt him. Glenn discusses the three ways Donald Trump's own words will sink him at trial.
