Episode 20: Carroll v Trump & United States v Santos: Cases in Review

JUST STOP IT! STOP TALKING! That's our theme again for today's episode where our dynamic duo Virginia Tehrani, Esq., and law student Chelsey Rogers discuss the hottest legal topics of the week.

The case of E. Jean Carroll v. Donald Trump is over, and the jury awarded $5 million to Ms. Carroll. Former President Trump was found liable of sexual assault and defamation. However, Judge Kaplan has warned Mr. Trump that he could be facing more legal complications if he continues to talk about Ms. Carroll and this civil case in the public. President Trump now says that he was denied the right to defend himself, but is this true?

The United States has indicted House Representative George Santos on 13 felony federal indictments this week. Get started with a summary of the case of United States v. George Santos in the Eastern District of New York and his 13 felony indictments for various alleged fraudulent schemes. Find out our take as to whether Mr. Santos can be removed from Congress and how his criminal case in Brazil may affect his current case in New York.

Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, or somewhere in between, these cases are sure to be of interest and are significant in the history of the United States.
