Meet Ted Boutrous, America’s most respected 1st amendment lawyer who explains what defamation is all about. 

The Hollywood Reporter once called him Donald Trump’s “First Amendment Nemesis.” He’s perhaps America’s preeminent media lawyer and Supreme Court guru, defending the 1st Amendment. He's known for defending famous defamation suits, representing clients such as Joy-Ann Reid. He’s also been known to argue defamation cases for plaintiffs, such as in the current case of actress Ashley Judd against Harvey Weinstein. Listen in as Ted Boutrous joins host Bob Sewell in a freewheeling and UNCENSORED discussion about what is and what isn’t defamation. Also learn about Boutrous’ new podcast “The Two Teds,”  featuring himself and former U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson, discussing the high profile cases handled by two of America’s leading litigators.
