Recanati-Kaplan Talks

The Cases Against Donald Trump

Expert Legal Analysis with Former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY Preet Bharara, CNN’s Laura Coates, Georgetown Law’s Neal Katyal, and FOLCS’ Thane Rosenbaum

Apr 7, 2024

Donald Trump’s post-presidency and his bid for a second term have been dominated by a dizzying number of criminal prosecutions and civil lawsuits brought against him in various states, in both federal and state courts. Some have already been decided, while others are paused by appeals. Most are scheduled to go to trial before the Republican Nominating Convention. Two of the cases might reach the Supreme Court and require expedited decisions. Did Trump violate campaign finance laws? Is he guilty of espionage? Did the events on January 6, 2021, constitute an insurrection that disqualifies him from seeking federal office? Was he engaged in racketeering to defraud the American public and obstruct the certification of electoral votes? Are these cases merely a political ploy to upend his campaign?

Join us in discussing this legal showdown that could decide this next presidential election with CNN’s Chief Legal Analyst, Laura Coates; MSNBC legal analyst and Supreme Court attorney, Neal Katyal; and former United States Attorney, Preet Bharara; moderated by law professor and FOLCS Creative Director, Thane Rosenbaum.
