Federal Judge Blocks Trump from Data Seizure

About this episode

Michael Popok discusses a Federal Judge's decision to block the Trump Administration from accessing a reporter's computer files amidst ongoing harassment of journalists by the FBI.

Popok reports on a Federal Judge refusing to trust the Trump Administration to search a Washington Post Pulitzer Prize winning reporter's computer files, while new leaks reveal that embattled FBI Dir. Kash Patel is using the FBI again to harrass and target reporters who have done their First Amendment duty and written unfavorable articles about Patel and/or his girlfriend. The First Amendment dies in the dark, and Legal AF is here to illuminate it and make sure that doesn't happen.
