Legal AF @legalafmtn.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Popok: This is, again, the misjudgment by the Trump administration—Donald Trump at the top, Todd Blanche—hoping this case will go away and they can rid themselves of the stench of corruption around their handling of the Epstein matter and the scandal. And they won't, and they can't.

Clarke: spent a lot of time with Nolan Wells’s mother and father, and they are grieving. Nobody has been able to put forth anything that can explain why their son is not here today. There needs to be more focus on the blunt force trauma to the back of Nolan Wells’s head.

Legal AF @legalafmtn.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

NAACP General Counsel Kristen Clarke: We don't know. Drowning is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning you have to rule out every other possibility. And so it is hard to figure out how we get from A to Z here, particularly where the autopsy also revealed that there was no water in Nolan's lungs.

Popok: I want to make this clear. If it wasn’t for the Democratic attorneys general, led by you in this case, none of what we’ve been talking about would have occurred. Bonta: That’s right. The Trump administration has been MIA when it comes to antitrust enforcement.
