Andrew Weissmann: 本期节目讨论了特朗普面临的多个法律挑战,包括曼哈顿地区检察官艾尔文·布拉格提起的封口费案,以及纽约州总检察长莱蒂蒂亚·詹姆斯提起的民事欺诈案。在封口费案中,法官梅尚设定了4月15日的审判日期,驳回了特朗普的驳回请求。在民事欺诈案中,上诉法院将特朗普的保释金从4.64亿美元降低至1.75亿美元,并要求其在7月8日前提交上诉简报。Weissmann认为,特朗普及其律师在案件中试图通过各种策略拖延审判进程。 Mary McCord: McCord补充了Weissmann的观点,并详细阐述了案件中的一些关键细节。她指出,布拉格办公室一年前曾向纽约南区检察官办公室索取与迈克尔·科恩案相关的文件,并向特朗普提供了部分文件。但特朗普后来又向南区检察官办公室索取了更多文件,这些文件直到近期才被披露,导致特朗普的律师要求驳回此案。McCord还分析了上诉法院降低保释金的决定,认为这可能是因为法官认为4.64亿美元的赔偿金过高,或者认为要求如此高的保释金不现实。她还讨论了特朗普社交媒体公司与一家空壳公司的合并以及首次公开募股,这可能会为特朗普提供资金来支付保释金。 Mary McCord: McCord还讨论了最高法院对特朗普总统豁免权的诉讼的处理方式,认为最高法院的行为可能会导致该案在大选前无法审理。她分析了特朗普律师在最高法院提交的简报,指出其提出的多种论点试图推翻指控或拖延案件的审理,并认为这些论点荒谬且与法治和权力制衡的原则相悖。McCord还强调了政府有正当理由寻求迅速审判,并批评了那些认为政府对迅速审判没有合法利益的说法。

Shownotes Transcript

Former President Trump was back in a New York courtroom on Monday, as Judge Merchan set a mid-April trial date for the hush money case against him brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Veteran prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord set expectations as the countdown to jury selection begins. Then, they turn to the appeals court decision, where Trump’s bond payment was reduced to $175 million in the New York civil fraud case. Lastly, Andrew and Mary survey what to keep an eye on at the Supreme Court when it comes to his appeal on presidential immunity.
