A conviction is one thing. Recovering assets overseas is another. I spoke with @thewirechina about the Huawei trial and the enforcement challenges that could follow a guilty verdict. thewirechina.com/2026/11/01/…

Judge Hellerstein’s death does not automatically delay Nicolás Maduro’s prosecution. As I told CBS News today: “One of the main qualifications of being a judge is that you can read a lot of paper. The fact that there's extra paperwork falls into their skill set.” cbsnews.com/news/alvin-helle…

Ten years to bring a case. And DOJ may still have missed the deadline. That’s the problem facing the latest effort to prosecute James Comey. Prosecutors filed a criminal information on the deadline. Comey’s lawyers say the law required a grand jury indictment. DOJ says its filing stopped the clock. Sounds like a dry procedural dispute. The whole case could turn on it. My latest for MSNOW here: ms.now/opinion/comey-charges…

The New York Post quoted me on Daniel Gordon’s $59 million NY tax debt. Finding assets is only the start. As I told the Post: “You don’t collect a debt by admiring the size of it.” nypost.com/2026/10/20/busine…

I’ll be joining Shannan Ferry on NY1 at 11 a.m. today to discuss the new charges against Nicolás Maduro, the ICE shooting in Marble Hill, and what comes next in Luigi Mangione’s New York state case. Lots to cover. Hope you’ll tune in!

New York should return stolen art efficiently when ownership is clear. But in a new ruling over an Egon Schiele at Chicago’s Art Institute, the First Department said a summary process cannot resolve sharply disputed title. My new Law360 piece explores why that due-process line matters. law360.com/amp/articles/2531…

DOJ’s most important backstop against political prosecutions isn’t a court—it’s prosecutors willing to say no. If they can be fired and replaced, that safeguard disappears. My new @MSNOW piece on Comey, Todd Blanche and what happens when the backstop fails: ms.now/opinion/trump-blanche…

Todd Blanche went from Trump’s lawyer to running DOJ. Since then: prosecutions tossed as retaliatory, prosecutors quit over Eric Adams, Jan. 6 convictions erased, Epstein victims exposed. The particulars speak for themselves. My latest for @MSNOWNews: yahoo.com/news/politics/arti…

Todd Blanche already runs the Justice Department. The Senate’s vote is about something more basic: whether it will approve a DOJ that protects the president, targets his enemies, and turns political grievances into federal investigations. ms.now/opinion/todd-blanche-…

My Hollywood moment today: I’m pleased to be speaking with the Beverly Hills Bar Association about AI, deepfakes, and the growing challenges around visual and audio evidence in criminal cases. The program is free for BHBA members, and anyone interested can register at the link below.

I’m speaking with the Beverly Hills Bar Association on June 11 about challenging visual evidence in modern prosecutions — deepfakes, AI-generated media, synthetic voice recordings, authentication, chain of custody, and what happens when “seeing” is no longer believing.

If you Google “who invented lamination,” you may find a surprising answer: my grandfather, Morris Blum, a Brooklyn dentist. This story is not true. I wrote about family lore, Wikipedia, and how a small family embellishment escaped into the internet: bostonglobe.com/2026/05/31/o…

I joined @ChrisJansing on @MSNOW_Reports today to talk about Bondi, Epstein, and the court blocking Trump’s “anti-weaponization” fund. Different stories, same concern: the justice system cannot look like one set of rules for friends and another for everyone else. Fairness, process, and public trust are not procedural niceties. They are what give the system its legitimacy. Watch the segment: archive.org/details/MSNOW_20…

Every week, another story makes me think: this is not how federal prosecution is supposed to work. DOJ is reportedly probing funding behind E. Jean Carroll’s civil case against Trump. Based on what’s public: what is the crime? I wrote about it here: ms.now/opinion/reid-hoffman-…

So very honored that Columbia Law School’s Blue Sky Blog on Corporations and the Capital Markets published my piece, “In Criminal Justice, Companies Get a Roadmap, While People Get a Maze,” on how our criminal justice system gives corporations a guided path to resolution while leaving individuals to navigate uncertainty, punishment, and procedural confusion largely on their own. Here’s the link: clsbluesky.law.columbia.edu/…

Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS should be stayed while he remains president. A sitting president should not be able to seek billions from the very government he controls. My piece for @MSNOWNews: ms.now/opinion/trump-irs-law…

Thank you, @SenWhitehouse!
