Morning Docket: 07.17.26

* Last night, Trump delivered a speech ostensibly about sweeping election security conspiracies, but it was mostly a commercial for the 25th Amendment. [Election Law Blog]

* Madison Square Garden sues WIRED over article claiming the stadium “used surveillance to track celebrities’ race, gender identity, and sexual orientation.” Can you believe a despicable owner who already admits to routinely using face recognition to ban lawyers from events could do such a thing? [USA Today]

* Trump selling financial firms early access to his posts. Because it’s not insider trading when it’s government officials creating market moving events! [WSJ]

* Todd Blanche was told his confirmation might depend on meeting with Epstein survivors. So he did… and the survivors describe Blanche’s conduct at the meeting as “abrasive” and “condescending.” Truly shocking for a guy who dedicated the past year to covering up the Epstein files. [ABC]

* M&A deal breach litigation increases. Surely that’s not a sign that companies see disturbing shifts in market conditions, right? [Bloomberg Law News]

* Boutiques recruiting big time talent with higher compensation. [Reuters]

* Barrister suspended for role in planning gangland hit. Remember, this is a customer service industry. [Roll on Friday]

* Simpson Thacher accused of never explaining key issues to client. He’s suing for $100 million. [Law360]
