Did Marjorie Taylor Greene just drop legal bomb on Trump? - Brian Tyler Cohen
Legal Breakdown episode 647: Legal consequences of Marjorie Taylor Greene exposing Trump.
====================
Brian and Glenn analyze the implications of Marjorie Taylor Greene's report that Donald Trump privately admitted to her that he did not want the Epstein files released because his friends would be hurt. The conversation explores the legal and public opinion ramifications of Trump's statement, including its admissibility in court as a statement of a party opponent and its potential use in conspiracy or obstruction of justice charges.
The hosts also discuss the lack of enforcement mechanisms in the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which requires the full release of the files by December 19, and the possibility of criminal liability for Pam Bondi and Trump for failing to comply. They highlight the broader context of potential conspiracies, including the monitoring of journalists and the circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death, suggesting that Trump's statements may be part of a larger pattern of obstructing justice.
