About this video
The first trial against Trump since he took office starts on Monday-- Gov. Newsom v. Trump -- and its historic, as the first time an Administration has ever been put on trial for a criminal violation of the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act by using Federal military troops on domestic soil for law enforcement purposes. Popok gives a watching guide to the 3 day trial in front of Senior Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco and explains the historic implications if Breyer rules against Trump. Popok also reports on LAF contributor Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News doing daily updates on the trial with his unique "from the court room" approach, and Cali Attorney General Rob Bonta joining Popok this week to talk about the trial.
