We review Blanche\u2019s three-year career as Trump\u2019s personal defense attorney before considering the questions the Senate Judiciary Committee should be asking to determine just who Blanche has been really working for in his time at DOJ so far. Then: the U.S. is hosting the world\u2019s biggest international sports event at a time when our immigration system has never been less hospitable, and even before the first World Cup kickoff Trump\u2019s CBP has been giving red cards to players, coaches, support staff, and fans who had&amp;nbsp; already been cleared by the refs at U.S. consulates abroad. Matt explains the immigration law logistics of international tournaments, and how this administration\u2019s harsh immigration policies are actively working against the system\u2019s efforts to make things easier for World Cup visitors. Finally, in this week\u2019s listener-requested footnote: why an outdoor sportswear brand is reluctantly suing a drag queen, and our predictions for one of the strangest trademark lawsuits in U.S. history.   \u201cTrump Trial Opening Statements (Defendant),\u201d Gavel Gavel (11\/1\/2024)   \u201cPeople v.
