'BradCast' 12/6/2023 (Guest: Former prosecutor Randall D. Eliason on timing of Trump's criminal trials and the 2024 election)
b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 Is it possible for a verdict to be reached in any of Donald Trump's criminal trials before the Presidential election on Nov. 5, 2024, considering all of the legal delay tactics available to the disgraced former president?\\xa0 RANDALL D. ELIASON, former chief of the fraud and public corruption section at the U.S. Attorney's Office for D.C., explains his call for judges overseeing Donald Trump's criminal trials to move expeditiously to adjudicate their cases, and how they can do so before voters head to the polls next November. Eliason details the context of previous historic presidential court cases (like Watergate), how the courts can ensure Trump receives a fair trial while moving with alacrity, and why it is imperative that voters have a verdict, one way or the other, before Election Day 2024. Also today: Former Republican U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced he is quitting Congress at the end of this month, eroding the GOP's razor-thin House majority. The Justice Department indicted four Russian nationals on war crimes charges for torturing an American in Russia's war on Ukraine, but Congressional Republicans still oppose additional military aid to Ukraine. In Wisconsin, prosecutors secured a settlement with ten fake 2020 Trump electors. In Nevada, six fake 2020 Trump electors have been criminally indicted for participating in the scheme to steal the 2020 election."
