Show Notes

Today we have with us Attorney Michael Bachner.

Michael Bachner is a prominent American criminal defense and securities litigation attorney in New York City.  He has represented numerous high-profile figures in the political, sports, entertainment, and business communities, and is frequently quoted by national media outlets like CNN and ABC News as a Legal Expert.  Michael Bachner started his career as an associate for prestigious criminal defense attorney Benjamin Brafman, with whom he occasionally works to defend clients in very high-profile trials

Michael was a former Assistant District Attorney in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office serving under the Hon. Robert M. Morgenthau, in the Narcotics Bureau, the Trial Bureau, and in the Rackets Bureau in the initial years of his career. In 1987 Bachner joined the Law Department of Prudential Securities, and in 1988 he opened his own law practice.

 He has represented several notable figures, including former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, former Sean P. Diddy Combs bodyguard Anthony Jones, former New York Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce, actor Robert Iler and Caroline Giuliani (daughter of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani).

In his earlier career, he represented several organized crime figures including John Papa, who was convicted of a series of mob-related homicides. He also successfully cross-examined Jordan Belfort, the so-called "Wolf of Wall Street", in a high profile stock-fraud trial.

Today we plan on talking about Former President Donald Trump’s indictment and will focus on any inconsistencies in the law.
