The Daily Herold August 21: Trump’s Court Victory, Clinton Foundation Scandals, and Military in DC Courts

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold dives into breaking news and political intrigue shaping the headlines. He covers the New York appellate court’s decision to strike down a $527 million fraud penalty against Donald Trump, framing it as a massive win against Letitia James’ political persecution. The discussion expands to newly surfaced IRS memos revealing how a 2019 criminal probe into the Clinton Foundation was abruptly shut down, fueling speculation about its role in a growing grand RICO case. Herold highlights John Solomon’s revelations about four separate grand juries investigating different threads of corruption, all potentially converging in Florida.

The episode also explores military lawyers being brought in as prosecutors in Washington D.C., the DOJ’s failed attempts to unseal Epstein grand jury materials, and Trump’s fiery Truth Social posts on elections, Ukraine, and political prisoners. With side commentary on Cracker Barrel’s disastrous rebrand and lighthearted moments like fart-barrel Halloween decor, the show mixes hard-hitting political analysis with humor and irreverence.
