Not long after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell made Trump look foolish on national TV by telling him he was wrong about cost overruns for a renovation project, DC US Attorney Janine Pirro started issuing subpoenas, making it seem like she was launching a criminal investigation of Jerome Powell.

Some have suggested that this apparent retaliation is because Powell refused Trump's pressure to cut interest rates. Yet Powell cut rates three times last year! Could this latest move be yet another vindictive prosecution like the ones Trump, Bondi, and Halligan unsuccessfully launched against James Comey and Letitia James?

In the first of two new legal developments, a federal judge in New York wants an explanation as to why the Department of Justice has failed - in violation of federal law - to fully disclose the Epstein files.

In a second development, disqualified US Attorney Lindsey Halligan has filed what may be the single most inappropriate, disrespectful pleading ever filed by any Department of Justice lawyer.

Glenn was joined by Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News to discuss these two important legal developments.

New reporting shows that McBride has been fired, as related in the following headline from MS Now:

"Trump DOJ fired prosecutor who declined to pursue James Comey case."

Glenn does a deep dive into what may be behind this recent firing.

Given Donald Trump's incessant abuse of the rule of law, the Constitution, and the American people, it's time for massive peaceful protests, it's time to wield our collective economic power, in short, it's time for We The People to reclaim our democracy.

Jim Acosta recently hosted an event at the National Press Club in downtown Washington, DC, titled just that: "Reclaiming Our Democracy". Glenn had the privilege of addressing the crowd at the event.

An ICE agent in Minneapolis fatally shot a 37-year-old mother named Renée Nicole Good as she tried to drive away from what appeared to be some kind of immigration enforcement operation.

Both Donald Trump and Kristi Noem have already lied to the public about the nature of the incident, each making claims that are directly contradicted by the multiple video angles of the deadly shooting that have been revealed publicly.

Based on all available evidence that has thus far been released publicly, this appears to be a use of excessive force by the ICE officer resulting in death.

Glenn does a deep dive into the law of self-defense and defense of other, as well as investigations of allegations of excessive force by law enforcement officers resulting in death.

Trump-appointed judge David Novak has ordered Lindsay Halligan to explain why she continues to sign indictments as the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, after a federal judge ruled that she was appointed unlawfully and unconstitutionally, and thus is NOT the US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Glenn does a deep dive into Judge Novak's new ruling.

Donald Trump's lawlessness is rivaled only by his dangerousness and proclivity to destabilize around the globe.

The Trump administration invaded Venezuela and abducted Nicolas Maduro and his wife. Then, Trump announced that the "US will run Venezuela".

Military and civilian authorities, academicians and other experts are weighing in and concluding that Trump's action violates international law. There will be much to unpack in the coming days, but, given that an American president has no lawful right to invade, seize control of and "run" a sovereign nation, well, if this ain't the stuff of impeachment, then what is?

In typical "tail-wagging-the-dog" fashion, Donald Trump tries to distract the attention of the American people from his many and mounting problems by launching an unlawful attack on a foreign sovereign nation, Venezuela.

He then goes on TV on the morning of January 6th 2026, and gives a long, rambling press conference - his decline and dementia on full display - and tries to distract the American people from the fact that today marks the fifth anniversary of Trump's attack on and refusal to stop once in progress the United States Capitol.

But Trump's distractions will fail. The people of the United States, who are dedicated to the rule of law and determined to preserve American democracy, will not be distracted.

To that end, a group of us will be at an event at the National Press Club in DC to commemorate the January 6 anniversary.

The event is being hosted by Jim Acosta and can be live streamed on Jim's Substack and YouTube channels.

The president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, just made his first court appearance in federal court in New York. By all accounts, Maduro is a bad guy. However, the rule of law and the protections of our Constitution apply to bad guys. There's no bad guy exception to the protections enshrined in our Constitution

There are some reasons to believe that Donald Trump's DOJ is going to have its hands full in the Maduro case, particularly with the assigned Judge, Alvin Hellerstein, who is a very experienced, no nonsense jurist who previously has presided over multiple Trump associated cases.

But that's a topic for another day. I just sat down with Adam Klasfeld of all rise news. Adam was in court for the Meduro arraignment and he joined Justice Matters to tell us all about it.
