The Intersection with Michael Popok Full Episode - 8/12/2025

On this mid-week edition of Legal AF, Karen Friedman Agnifilo is joined by Ben Meiselas to discuss how the legal walls are finally closing in on Trump. The hosts discuss the seditious conspiracy convictions of the Oath Keeper’s leaders and how that will impact the criminal investigation of Trump, the testimony of former top Trump advisor Stephen Miller before the federal grand jury investigating Trump’s crimes in Washington DC, Mark Meadows losing his emergency application before the South Carolina Supreme Court to block his testimony before the Fulton County Special Grand Jury, and Trump’s threats against Special Counsel Jack Smith. It is obvious that Trump is more weak and desperate than he has ever been.
