Tom Goldstein, co-founder of SCOTUSblog, is contesting a tax fraud indictment through several motions that argue the charges are late and based on incorrect legal theories. His defense claims prosecutorial misconduct, including asking witnesses irrelevant personal questions, adversely affecting the grand jury's objectivity. Goldstein also seeks to suppress a statement made to customs regarding a large cash sum he claims are gambling winnings while asserting that the government ignored pertinent losses that should offset these gains. His defense is represented by Munger, Tolles & Olson in this high-profile legal battle.
