Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to cover Trump’s options for raising funds and the implications of not being able to post bond, Judge Cannon’s issuance of divergent sets of jury instructions in the Mar-A-Lago case, and why the upcoming “Stormy Daniels’ hush money trial” is actually a prosecution of election interference. The #Sisters also discuss the legality of Texas S.B. 4’s attempt to override federal immigration laws, why the Supremacy Clause applies, Mexico’s response, and how enforcement could lead to discrimination. Then they explain the DOJ’s antitrust complaint against Apple.
