Legal AF 11/12/2026
The award-winning Legal AF podcast, with Karen Friedman Agnifilo joined by Lisa Graves filling in for Michael Popok, provides searing commentary in real time on the biggest breaking legal and political stories. Together, they break down Trump and Todd Blanche’s escalating attacks on congressional leaders, the latest legal developments involving Trump ally Alina Habba in New Jersey, and House Republicans’ efforts to shield Trump through a report on the Epstein files that attempts to absolve him of wrongdoing. They also examine the fight over Pete Hegseth, the GOP’s move to block an impeachment vote, and the questions surrounding why the vote went forward without sufficient support and where Democrats stood. Plus, they discuss a Trump-appointed judge’s decision to let the BBC lawsuit move forward and Judge Reyes’s growing distrust of the DOJ amid whistleblower allegations that Trump administration officials at the Interior Department are destroying government records.
