Noem & DOJ Lawyers in DEEP TROUBLE as Judge Weighs Criminal Charges - Legal AF
A Chief Federal Judge is trying to determine today whether not only should he refer Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem for criminal prosecution for contempt, but whether DOJ Attorneys should be prosecuted too. In a new filing, the question is raised whether DOJ Attorneys participated in a crime or fraud with Noem that would strip her of her attorney client privilege and force her to testify and leave her defenseless to a criminal contempt referral for prosecution.
Michael Popok explains why the Judge should deny today the DOJ's motion to reconsider his order setting a contempt hearing for Monday and what will happen next. - 12/12/2025.
