24:27Now PlayingThis episode was recorded prior to the news that the Trump Administration has suggested that it will follow court order and not use the Anti-Weaponization slush fund it created. We note that DOJ has not canceled the immunity it granted Trump from investigations and payment of past taxes that might be owed and has not said they will not find and fund an alternative method to pay those convicted of Jan6 crimes. Legal challenges remain ongoing and remain necessary.
In this episode of #SistersInLaw Sidebar, Joyce Vance and Jill Wine-Banks answer your questions on Trump’s controversial slush fund, crimes committed in prison, and more. They discuss why the president cannot legally use taxpayer money as a personal slush fund, ongoing lawsuits challenging the fund, creative ways Congress and citizens might push back, the best internships for aspiring law students, when the hosts first knew they wanted to become lawyers, how crimes in federal prisons are prosecuted compared to the outside world, and whether Trump could receive an automatic self-pardon for potential insider trading.

The Constitution's reminder: Congress controls the purse strings, not the president
Why Trump's so-called "slush fund" is a legal no-no and how courts are seizing the moment
The recent lawsuit that might just put a pause on the Trump-funded highway to nowhere
Why taxpayer lawsuits are a tricky, slippery slope — and why some are more legit than others

The secret side agreements that may not be so secret after all, and what that means for future accountability
How the courts and new DOJ heads might turn the tide, and why a fresh start in 2026 isn’t just wishful thinking
