America On Trial covers the 2024 Presidential election through the only lens that truly matters: the legal proceedings of Donald J. Trump and Hunter Biden.
The daily podcast, hosted by attorney Josh Hammer, examines breaking news and analyzes the biggest questions in American history: What are the limits of Presidential power? Can the former President of the United States get a fair trial? Can Trump serve if he takes a plea? Can he be disqualified from the ballot? Can President Biden pardon his son? Could President Trump pardon himself? These questions will undoubtedly go all the way to the Supreme Court and ultimately decide the next President of the United States.
America on Trial covers all the action every morning, helping you stay one step ahead of the media spin on decisions that will impact our nation for years to come.

Customer Reviews
Logic
When a lot of public opinion is just sad and stupid dumb etc , is nice to hear people that still make sense,just and intelligent, keep up the good work.
Overcharged
Thanks for the great coverage of SCOTUS and politically charged cases against Donald Trump.
Now I have a question, regarding the lawfare that has become a feature of our justice and political systems…
When Donald Trump is convicted of just one felony, how will that affect the General Election ballots?
Will Trump remain on any of them?
Senator Ted Cruz has said that all 50 States will likely remove Donald Trump’s name from the ballot in response to his becoming a felon.
Then Trump only recourse will be to mount an epic right-in campaign.
Clear, crisp and concise take on various legal/political matters
Thank you for the focus, energy and effort, Josh.
