A transgender Oklahoma attorney representing a mother in a bitter child custody battle was arrested after repeatedly clashing with the judge, triggering a chaotic scene that ended with contempt charges, resistance, and a dramatic removal from the courtroom.

According to The Oklahoma Post, attorney Rob Hopkins, who was representing Julie Ann Kramer in an ongoing custody dispute, was taken into custody by order of Judge Laurie Jackson after repeatedly interrupting proceedings and refusing to comply with courtroom decorum.

The viral footage shows Hopkins repeatedly interrupting the judge, smirking at the bench, and eventually throwing a phone in a fit of rage.

The courtroom video began when Hopkins repeatedly spoke over Judge Laurie Jackson, refusing to yield the floor despite multiple warnings.

Judge Laurie Jackson: “You interrupt me one more time, you are being held in indirect contempt of court.”

Rather than de-escalate, Hopkins continued to argue, insisting the judge was refusing to hear the case properly and challenging the court’s jurisdiction.

At one point, the situation escalated further when Hopkins appeared to knock a phone off the bench, prompting the judge to warn about courtroom conduct as tensions rose.

The situation took an even more bizarre turn when Hopkins suddenly injected identity politics into the confrontation. Instead of acting like a professional, Hopkins attempted to hide behind her identity, suggesting the judge was only being harsh because she is a “transgender attorney.”

Rob Hopkins:
Or maybe because I’m a transgender attorney practicing all over the state.

Judge Laurie Jackson:
I don’t know what you are.

Rob Hopkins:
You do, ma’am. You do.

Judge Laurie Jackson:
I don’t know what you do.

Rob Hopkins:
You do.

Judge Laurie Jackson:
Other than you have just now—

Rob Hopkins:
No, ma’am, you do.

Judge Laurie Jackson:
It doesn’t have anything to do—

Rob Hopkins:
It’s happened when we talked on the phone.

Judge Laurie Jackson:
That wasn’t talking, let me tell you. You were entirely inappropriate.

Rob Hopkins:
You were yelling at me, and I did not even know you were the judge.

Judge Laurie Jackson:
And I didn’t know you from Adam.

Rob Hopkins:
I said, “My name is Rob Hopkins. I’m an attorney in Oklahoma City.”

Judge Laurie Jackson:
No, sir, you did not.

The situation turned from combative to theatrical when Hopkins was ordered into custody for direct contempt.

As deputies attempted to lead her away, Hopkins began a bizarre performance, screaming “Do not hurt me!” and “You just kicked me!” despite the video showing officers simply trying to secure her hands.

Hopkins began shrieking, “I can’t breathe!” and “I can’t move!” while writhing on the floor.

Hopkins then demanded a “female officer,” apparently deciding in the heat of the moment that only a woman should be allowed to touch her.

Hopkins was hit with a $25,000 bond and later faced an additional charge for resisting arrest, according to The Oklahoma Post.

Federal Reserve Stonewalls DOJ Prosecutors Investigating Headquarters Construction: Report

Federal prosecutors made a surprise visit Tuesday to the construction site of the Federal Reserve’s headquarters renovation project.

Workers at the site refused to admit them, saying they did not have clearance in advance of the visit, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The $2.5 billion project has been under review by the administration, and the prosecutors came from the office of U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

“Any construction project that has cost overruns of almost 80 percent over the original construction budget deserves some serious review,” Pirro said in a statement.

“And these people are in charge of monetary policy in the United States?” she asked.

Robert Hur, an attorney representing the Fed, said prosecutors Carlton Davis and Steven Vandervelden appeared “without prior notice” and sought a tour to check the work’s progress.

President Donald Trump has praised Pirro “for having the courage” to investigate the Fed.

As noted by ABC News, Trump has continually pushed for lower interest rates and also sparred with Fed Chair Jerome Powell about the cost of the $2.5 billion building project.

On Wednesday, Trump said he would fire Powell due to the economist’s “incompetence” if Powell does not leave when his term ends in May.

Trump has nominated former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh to replace Powell, according to Fox Business.

“I’ve held back firing him. I’ve wanted to fire him, but I hate to be controversial, you know?” he said in a Fox Business interview.

Trump said the renovation project involved a “building that I would have done for $25 million that’s going to cost maybe $4 billion.”

“Don’t you think we have to find out what happened there?” he asked.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina has threatened to oppose Warsh’s confirmation.

When asked about Warsh’s chances, he said, “We’re going to have to find out [if he will be confirmed]. He might not, but that’s why Thom Tillis is no longer a senator.”

Tillis is not seeking re-election.

“He’s on his way out… and I think he doesn’t want the legacy of stopping a great person who could be great… I know he said what he said, and maybe it’s true, in which case I’ll have to live with it,” Trump said.

Trump 2020 Election Lawyer John Eastman Disbarred in California For Challenging Democrat Fraud

President Trump’s 2020 election lawyer John Eastman was officially disbarred in Californian on Wednesday.

The California Supreme Court affirmed that Eastman was disbarred after a two-year battle with the state bar.

CBS News reported:

John Eastman, Chapman Law School’s former dean, lost his law license after he allegedly helped President Trump try to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

“After extensive proceedings before the State Bar Court’s Hearing and Review Departments, both of which found Mr. Eastman culpable of serious ethical violations, the Court has imposed the discipline warranted by the clear and convincing evidence that he advanced false claims about the 2020 presidential election to mislead courts, public officials, and the American public,” said State Bar Chief Trial Counsel George Cardona.

The California Supreme Court affirmed Eastman’s disbarment two years after the State Bar found him culpable of 10 disciplinary charges, claiming he engaged in misconduct by allegedly helping Trump try to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

Eastman was disbarred in April 2024 after a judge ruled he should have his law license stripped for challenging the 2020 election.

John Eastman previously asked a California judge to pause the disbarment ruling, citing massive legal fees.

Eastman faced disbarment in California for ‘undermining democracy’ by trying to ‘overturn the presidential election.’

The January 6 Committee sent the feds after John Eastman because he dared to take action against the Democrats and their massive election fraud operation in 2020.

Recall, Eastman was previously ambushed by the FBI as he was exiting a restaurant in New Mexico.

John Eastman was exiting a restaurant with his wife and friend in June 2022 when FBI agents ambushed him and “forced” him to unlock his phone.

The federal agents then took Eastman’s iPhone 12 Pro.

WATCH:

Eastman was also indicted by Fani Willis and charged with counts 1-2 (RICO and Solicitation of Violation of Oath by Public Officer), 9 (Conspiracy to Commit Impersonating a Public Officer), 11 (Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree), 13 (Conspiracy to Commit False Statements), 15 (Conspiracy to Commit Filing False Documents), 17 (Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree), 19 (Conspiracy to Commit False Statements and Writings), 27 (Filing False Documents).

On Wednesday, two years after Eastman challenged his disbarment, the California Supreme Court affirmed he lost his law license.

Mamdani Condemns NYPD Officers After Chaotic Arrest Video Goes Viral

New York City Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned two NYPD officers after a chaotic arrest video out of Brooklyn went viral online.

The footage showed a violent struggle between two officers and a suspect inside a liquor store.

The incident occurred on Tuesday at a store in Brooklyn, according to a report from WNYW.

A source told the outlet that the officers were attempting to arrest a man they suspected of being involved in a drug deal.

The situation escalated quickly when the man repeatedly resisted arrest.

Video from the scene showed officers repeatedly punching the suspect in an effort to get him to the ground.

Warning: The following video contains vulgar language and violence that may be disturbing to some viewers.

The lengthy video ended with the suspect being escorted out of the store in handcuffs.

The NYPD has since placed both officers on modified duty.

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed the move during a news conference on Wednesday.

She said the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau is reviewing the incident.

Tisch added that more information will be released as the investigation unfolds.

Mamdani, a socialist who supported the “defund the police” movement, weighed in on the video.

He shared the footage and issued a sharp condemnation of the officers, presumably without having all the facts.

“The violence used by NYPD officers in this video is extremely disturbing and unacceptable,” Mamdani wrote.

“Officers should never treat a person this way. The NYPD is conducting a full investigation into this incident,” he added.

His comments quickly drew pushback.

The New York City Police Benevolent Association criticized Mamdani for speaking out before the investigation is complete, WNYW reported.

The organization’s president, Patrick Hendry, said the mayor had rushed to judge the cops.

“We don’t know why the mayor is bothering to call for an investigation when he has already rushed to condemn the NYPD members involved without knowing all the facts,” Hendry said.
