Topics
Andrew Weissmann: 本集节目重点介绍了对唐纳德·特朗普的四项起诉书，包括华盛顿特区案（与1月6日事件有关）和纽约州案（与封口费有关）。Weissmann强调了这些起诉书的严重性以及它们对美国民主制度的影响。他还讨论了起诉书中使用的法律条文以及对特朗普言论是否受第一修正案保护的辩论。Weissmann还解释了起诉书中“说话式起诉书”的写作方式，以及这种方式在向公众传达信息方面的作用。 Melissa Murray: Murray同意Weissmann的观点，并补充说，起诉书中明确回应了言论自由问题。她认为，特朗普的行为已经造成严重后果，并且这些行为不能仅仅被视为意见分歧。Murray还讨论了最高法院正在审理的Fisher诉美国案，该案可能影响对特朗普的其中一项指控。此外，Murray还强调了他们合著的书籍《特朗普的起诉书》对理解这些起诉书的重要性。 Liam Neeson: Neeson以其富有磁性的声音朗读了华盛顿特区案起诉书的摘录，这些摘录详细描述了特朗普散布虚假信息以及试图推翻2020年总统选举结果的行为。 Glenn Close: Close以其富有表现力的声音朗读了纽约州案起诉书的摘录，这些摘录详细描述了特朗普伪造商业记录以掩盖其行为，以及他与美国媒体公司（AMI）的合作。 Andrew Weissmann and Melissa Murray: This podcast episode focuses on the four indictments against Donald Trump, including the D.C. case (related to January 6th) and the New York case (related to hush money). They emphasize the seriousness of these indictments and their impact on American democracy. They discuss the legal provisions used in the indictments and the debate over whether Trump's statements are protected by the First Amendment. Weissmann explains the use of 'speaking indictments' and their role in conveying information to the public. Murray agrees and adds that the indictments explicitly address free speech concerns. She argues that Trump's actions had serious consequences and cannot simply be dismissed as differences of opinion. She discusses the Supreme Court case Fisher v. United States, which may affect one of the charges against Trump. She also highlights the importance of their book, 'The Trump Indictments,' in understanding these indictments. Liam Neeson reads excerpts from the D.C. indictment detailing Trump's dissemination of false information and attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Glenn Close reads excerpts from the New York indictment detailing Trump's falsification of business records to conceal his actions and his cooperation with American Media Inc. (AMI).
