Episode Description

In this episode, I'm covering breaking news on Joe Duggar's court hearing — he's the second son of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar to be accused of sexually assaulting a child, with this case involving a nine-year-old girl (now 14) believed to be his sister-in-law. His attorney appeared virtually to formally enter a not guilty plea, and a pretrial hearing has been set for July 14th, where a judge will also rule on Joe's request to amend his no-contact order so he can have unsupervised time with his own four kids. I also discuss how his legal team is pushing to access investigator interviews and evidence — which I suspect is an attempt to challenge his reported confession — and speculate on whether he'll cut a plea deal before trial. On a lighter note, I share that my former social media girl Annie Sharp, who most recently worked for Jeff Lewis's show before getting fired over a hotel security incident in New York, is back working with me, and I'm hoping to get her on the podcast to share her side of the story.
