Description

In this episode of Passing Judgment, host Jessica Levinson and Reuters legal correspondent Jack Queen delve into two of the most politically charged trials of our era: those involving Hunter Biden and former President Donald Trump. They dissect the collapse of Hunter Biden's plea deal over the scope of immunity and dive into the trial's contentious debate on firearm purchase forms and drug use. Switching focus, they examine Trump's historic conviction related to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1️⃣ Hunter Biden Trial and Plea Deal Miscommunications: The plea deal for Hunter Biden unraveled when the judge questioned the broad scope of immunity it offered.2️⃣ Donald Trump and the Hush Money Case: The defense requested a mistrial due to the nature of Daniels' testimony, which was denied. Michael Cohen’s cross-examination and David Pecker's damaging testimony were key moments.3️⃣ Vagueness and Second Amendment Arguments in Biden Trial: Questions about the vagueness of the law and an appeal based on Second Amendment rights. The defense argued that the timing of Biden's drug use at the time of the gun purchase was not adequately proven.Follow Our Host and Guest: @LevinsonJessica@Jackqueen_
