Trump DOJ CAUGHT Lying to APPEALS COURT?!? - Legal AF
Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose how Trump's Justice Department admitted to lying to a federal appeals court about deploying U.S. troops on American soil in Portland. The hosts reveal how DOJ attorney Andrew Bernie confessed "we deeply regret the overstatement" after Oregon's Attorney General exposed fabrications: DOJ claimed "daily violent assaults" requiring "hundreds of additional personnel"—reality was 50 protesters for three weeks handled by 20 local officers; DOJ described "nightly riots" with "hundreds of Antifa militants"—actually 20-30 protesters per night, 25 arrests over 90 days for disorderly conduct, no fires or bombings; DOJ alleged Rose City Antifa orchestrated a "coordinated terrorist siege"—admitted they had "no corroboration in investigative files, included in error from secondary sources."
They detail how Trump called Portland "war ravaged" on Truth Social, how DOJ cited 2020 protests from five years ago as current evidence, and how Trump-appointed Judge Immergut called their arguments "untethered to the facts" and "bad faith attempts," forcing DOJ to withdraw portions of their brief after the Ninth Circuit relied on these lies. - 11/02/2025.
