Donald Trump

This morning former president Donald Trump announced that he is expecting to be arrested next week in connection with alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. But is this case by the Manhattan D.A. merely a means to an end; a precursor to bringing federal charges for far more serious crimes such as violations of the Espionage Act? After the FBI raid on former President #Trump's Mar-A-Lago home last August, we learned that thesearch warrantindicated the search was conducted in connection with, among other things,the Espionage Act. Violations of the Espionage Act always carry long prison sentences. If convicted, Trump could spend the rest of his life behind bars. The Espionage Act is actually a series of statutes under18 US Code Chapter 37related to the collection, retention, or dissemination of national defense or classified information. The Mar-a-Lago search warrant referred to Section 793 — “Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information,” which doesn’t just cover “spying” in the sense that many think of when they hear the term. Section 793 specifically states that people legally granted access tonational defense documents— people like the former president — are subject to punishment should they improperly retain that information. Two months before the FBI executed an unprecedented raid of a former president's home, seizing more than 100 classified documents, some agents wanted to believe that Donald Trump's attorneys had already conducted a thoroughsearch of the Mar-a-Lago premises in Palm Beach, Florida. Anew report from The Washington Postrevealed how FBI agents and Justice Department prosecutors clashed on how to proceed with a criminal probe into Trump's handling of classified records prior to the months that led up to the Mar-a-Lago raid. While some FBI officials pushed to get consent from Trump to search his property, other field agents wanted to close the criminal investigation entirely by early June after Trump's attorneys claimed they conducted a"diligent search"of Mar-a-Lago, according to people familiar with the discussions and who spoke to The Post on the condition of anonymity to talk about a sensitive investigation. On June 3, 2022, a few FBI agents and a DOJ official convened at Mar-a-Lago to retrieve remaining classified documents that were in Trump's possession. Christina Bobb, one of Trump's attorneys, signed a letter attesting that a careful search was completed,according to a court filing. On this edition of Maverick News, we hear some pretty astonishing details about what happened that day from Trump attorneys Christina Bobb and Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani himself is also in hot water legally, facing a litany of potential charges that could potentially send him to prison as well. Giuliani’s legal liability is “profound,” says Norm Eisen, a senior fellow in governance studies at The Brookings Institution, who was counsel to the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee during Trump’s first impeachment. Eisen led a team of legal experts at the Brookings Institution to examine what criminal acts may have been taken by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election results. In the Department of Justice investigation, special counsel Smith is charged with looking into who may have “unlawfully interfered” with the transfer of power after the 2020 election or the certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the Electoral College vote on Jan. 6. Eisen says that Giuliani may have broken federal law against being a part of a conspiracy to defraud the United States by spreading false election fraud claims and promoting slates of fake electors, as well as laws against obstructing an official proceeding in Congress. “He has as serious criminal risk as anyone other than Donald Trump,” Eisen says. Will President #Biden and the #Democrats go full Banana Republic and "lock them up" to stop their 2024 political rivals? We also discuss the irony of Trump possibly being charged with the very same law he used to arrest, imprison, extradite and prosecute Julian #Assange. Assange faces 175 years in prison for alleged violations of the Espionage Act. Maybe Trump and Assange will wind up being cellmates in the same maximum security federal facility -- or maybe they'll both get Epsteined before they ever get to trial. Don't laugh. We aren't kidding. #FreeAssange #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners

He is also a well-known radio talk show host in Denver. Colorado. Nixon is an Army Infantry Veteran, #Conservative, Constitutionalist, Advocate, Writer, Technologist, Critical Historian, and a self-described "extremist in the defense of liberty." Tyler Nixon attended Georgetown University and The University of Virginia Law School, served in the U.S. Army's Berlin Brigade and did a tour of combat duty in the first Iraq war.

On "Strange Bedfellows," we bring together political opposites to find points of agreement. Tyler and I are from different political backgrounds and parties, but we have much in common. We both have a strong #libertarian streak, and are devotees of Dr. Ron Paul. Tyler recently told Roger Stone on "The Stone Zone" he wants to "abolish the FBI, the IRS, and the CIA." I'm down with THAT 100%! Now we're cookin'. Tell me more, Tyler... He's served time for possession of marijuana and ecstasy and is now a drug policy reform advocate. So we certainly have that mission in common, too. Tell me more, Tyler... He will tell us more...LOTS more...tonight at 9 PM Eastern. A fascinating conversation is always guaranteed on "Strange Bedfellows." Tune in!

There’s nothing democratic about the Democratic Party, and our guest tonight knows that from first-hand experience. On Episode 17 of "Strange Bedfellows" we spoke to Elizabeth Lee Beck, the attorney who sued the Democratic National Committee in 2016 in a class-action lawsuit alleging that the #DNC defrauded individual #Bernie Sanders supporters by rigging the primaries for Hillary #Clinton. (The case was dismissed in 2017.) In addition to the #DNCFraud lawsuit, Beck has also sued former President Donald #Trump twice (in 2011 and 2015) and questioned Trump in court depositions. We will ask her thoughts on Trump’s current legal battles. Earlier this year, Beck sued Twitter (now X) for breach of contract over the suspension of her account and that of her husband, attorney Jared Beck, four years ago. When Elon Musk bought Twitter last year, he pledged to restore all previously banned accounts that hadn’t violated Twitter’s Terms of Service. When the Becks’ accounts were not restored as promised, they took Elon to court. In their complaint, the Becks assert that they were suspended for “engaging in political speech antagonistic to the establishment Democratic Party interests.” We will get the latest from Elizabeth Beck on where that lawsuit currently stands, and discuss the future of #FreeSpeech on X and other social media platforms as the 2024 election season heats up. On “Strange Bedfellows” we talk to fascinating people from all sides of the political spectrum, and always find points of agreement. A great conversation is always guaranteed!

From allegations of plotting to overturn a lost election to illegally stowing classified documents at his Florida estate, former President Donald Trump faces four criminal indictments in four different cities as he vies to reclaim the White House. The cases, totaling 91 felony counts, are winding through the courts at different speeds. Some might not reach trial this year, while one is set to begin in a matter of weeks. Then there are the civil cases. On Friday a judge ordered the former president and his companies to pay nearly $355 million in a ruling in the New York civil fraud case, and barred #Trump from conducting business in New York for three years. A recent ruling in the E. Jean Carroll case will set Trump back yet another $83 million. Meanwhile in Georgia, prosecutors on Friday called witnesses to push back on claims that a romantic relationship between Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis and Nathan Wade — the prosecutor she hired to lead her case against former president Donald Trump — should disqualify her. Trump and his co-defendants are seeking to have Willis removed from the case over the relationship. At this point, we need a team of lawyers just to keep up with Trump’s court calendar, and the litany of lawsuits he’s juggling. So we called one of the best legal analysts we know to break all this down for our viewers. This week on “Strange Bedfellows” it’s a pleasure to welcome back to the show Tyler Nixon, longtime friend to and personal attorney for Roger Stone. He is also a the host of “The Tyler Nixon Show” on the TNT Radio Network. We last saw Tyler on Episode 16 of “Strange Bedfellows” in October 2023. Tyler Nixon attended Georgetown University and The University of Virginia Law School, served in the U.S. Army’s Berlin Brigade and did a tour of combat duty in the first Iraq war. Later, he served as a staff assistant to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, worked on the presidential transition team for President George W. #Bush in 2001, and on #Republican Ron Paul’s presidential campaign in 2008. Nixon is an Army Infantry Veteran, #Conservative, Constitutionalist, Advocate, Writer, Technologist, Critical Historian, and a self-described “extremist in the defense of liberty.” Tonight we will get Tyler’s legal analysis on Trump’s latest legal troubles, hash out that rumor of a Trump/#Kennedy ticket that keeps going around, plus a whole lot more. A fascinating conversation is always guaranteed on “Strange Bedfellows.” Join us live from 9-11 P.M. Eastern Saturday night!

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is pushing back on the latest attempt by former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants to disqualify her entire office from prosecuting the election subversion case in Georgia, according to a new court filing Monday. Willis asked the Georgia Court of Appeals to uphold Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee’s initial ruling that allowed her to remain on the criminal case if her top prosecutor, Nathan Wade, resigned. Wade resigned within hours of McAfee’s ruling last month. The appeals court is weighing a request from #Trump and several others charged in #Georgia to review and overturn McAfee’s earlier decision. Willis argued on Monday that the appeals court should deny that request. In Monday’s filing, the Fulton County district attorney’s office insisted again that there was no conflict of interest and said that Willis’ comments about race playing a role in criticism of her office did not rise to misconduct requiring disqualification. While Willis has attempted to shift attention back to the criminal case itself after the detour over ethics allegations for more than two months, Trump and his co-defendants are still arguing the romantic relationship between Willis and Wade created a conflict of interest. “At a minimum, DA Willis and her office should have been disqualified from prosecuting the case,” Trump’s lead Georgia-based attorney Steve Sadow wrote when he asked the appeals court to take up his case. “The Georgia Court of Appeals should grant the application and accept the interlocutory appeal for consideration on the merits.” It is now up to the Georgia Court of Appeals to decide if they want to review the decision not to disqualify Willis and her office. This appeal doesn’t pause the prosecution, which continues to play out before trial. In this highlight from Episode 27 of “Strange Bedfellows” we spoke to longtime Roger Stone attorney and confidant Tyler Nixon about the latest round of #lawfare against the former president, watch some highlights from the courtroom, and hear his legal analysis of the Fani Willis/Wade affair.

The New York Attorney General may start collecting former president #Trump’s assets if he fails to post a bond by next Monday. Trump was hit with a penalty that came to around $454 million after interest and would have had to pay a bond slightly higher than that amount to stave off the state from seizing assets, such as his many real estate holdings, to cover the penalty. An appeals court later ruled that he could instead pay a lower bond of $175 million. Trump posted $175 million bond on April 1 to prevent James from seizing his assets while he attempts to appeal the civil fraud ruling against him. New York Judge Arthur Engoron previously found Trump, his adult sons Donald Jr. and Eric, and The Trump Organization liable for a scheme in which the value of Trump’s net worth and assets were unlawfully inflated to obtain more favorable business deals. Trump, the presumptive 2024 #GOP presidential nominee, has maintained his innocence in the matter. The bond was then rejected by the court’s filing system shortly after it was posted due to missing paperwork, including a “current financial statement.” James, whose office led the fraud case against Trump, later raised questions about the “sufficiency” of the bond and noted that the surety backing it, Knight Specialty Insurance Company (KSIC), is not admitted in New York, meaning it’s ineligible to obtain a certificate of qualification from the Department of Financial Services. KSIC has refiled its paperwork as a result in an effort to get the process moving again. New York A.G. Letitia James cited a statute “which indicates that within ten days (that is—by April 15, as April 14 is a Sunday) either Trump or the KNIC must file a motion in court to ‘justify the surety.’ If not, then pursuant to statute, the bond shall ‘be without effect’.” If that happens, the state of New York can start seizing Trump’s assets immediately. On Episode 27 of “Strange Bedfellows” we spoke with Tyler Nixon, longtime ally and personal attorney for Roger Stone who knows a thing or two about #lawfare against both his client and Mr. Trump. You won’t want to miss what he has to say about this case! Watch the premiere tonight at 7 PM Eastern.
