  1. "The court recognizes, sua sponte, that defendant's counsel is an asshole."

  2. 👀 At Donald #Trump’s criminal #trial Thursday, two men — one in the #defendant’s chair, the other on the #witness stand — were accused of #bullying and #intimidation.
    The first was #trump himself. Prosecutors accused him of creating an “air of #menace by commenting on the political makeup of the #jury pool, and they urged the #judge to again hold him in #contempt.

  3. The #RNC donation scam leaves a lot of #candidates out on a limb looking for funds while the #defendant pays his legal bills (maybe). Maybe we'll get those Senate and House seats after all.

  4. #Ivanka Trump was originally named as a #defendant, until she succeeded in dismissing the claims against her on appeal under the statute of limitations.

    That victory, Ivanka Trump's lawyers argued, should also allow her to avoid taking the #WitnessStand because she is no longer a NY resident.

    #NYAG #LetitiaJames disagreed, submitting a brief arguing that #Trump’s daughter “remains financially & professionally intertwined” w/ #TrumpOrg & “can be called as a person still under their control.”

  5. #Weisselberg, a #defendant testifying as a prosecution #witness, is expected to testify about his role in preparing Trump’s annual #financial statements — incl’g conversations they had while finalizing docs, which were given to #banks, #insurers & others to make deals & secure #loans.

    James’ lawsuit alleges Weisselberg engineered #Trump’s #financial stmnts to meet his demands they show increases in his #NetWorth & signed off on lofty #valuations for #assets despite #appraisals to the contrary.

  6. Back to #McConney #witness / #defendant #testimony:

    #NYAG #Amer delves into a flagrant instance of #fraudulent #valuations.

    #Trump’s #SevenSprings estate planned to build 7 mansions on the property valued at $23M each.

    McConney confirmed that in 2012, #EricTrump was involved w/the development of the #Westchester, NY, property & that he (McConney) assumed all necessary approvals were obtained prior to build.

  7. #McConney is first on the stand today; followed by #AllenWeisselberg on Tues; after that, #NickHaigh, a risk manager w/ #DeutscheBank; then #PatrickBirney of #TrumpOrganization, & depending on time, #MichaelCohen by the end of next week.

    Justice #Engoron called the trial to order, & McConney is on the stand. McConney is also a #defendant in the case. Today he’s to be questioned about the Trump Org’s relationship w/another #RealEstate company, #Vornado.

  8. #McConney, who's also a #defendant in the #Trump #fraud case, was then shown letters he sent to a lender to disclose the statements of #financial condition to Royal Bank America. That letter & others like it are part of how the AG will attempt to establish McConney’s #liability for #false financial statements, in addition to his involvement in preparing the statements themselves.

    The trial adjourned for lunch.

    McConney is scheduled to resume testifying at 2:15 PM ET.

  9. Someone really needs to sit #Trump down and explain to him how the #legal system works. As #prosecutor, it is not #LetitiaJames' job to be #impartial. #Impartiality in the process is for the judge, and jurors. The prosecutor can and should have strong opinions as to the #guilt of the #defendant. Trump seems to believe that the the prosecutor must be free from opinion, or conviction as to his guilt, but that's just not how it works.

  10. "Trump... called D.C. a place filled with “filth & decay” which is the way he talks about any city with a large #Black population...

    For a #defendant to poison the jury pool against himself is different from a #newspaper or prosecutor poisoning the jury pool against a defendant.

    Right?

    Stop and think about the insanity of #Trump attacking the #judge who will decide his case and casting public slurs against the #jury that will decide his fate."

  11. The #Defendant is #MarineCorps #veteran who is accused of #shooting both #victims after completing a paid #sexact, when he demanded his money back before opening fire. One of the #victims #died immediately, the other was #paralyzed and died last year. The #victims also were prominent local #dragperformers (2/2)

  12. #Federal #prosecutor Molly #Gaston said her team has already produced most of the #DC case’s #discovery — pretrial #evidence given to the #defense before #trial. Much of the 10 million pages is from “entities associated w/the #defendant,” Gaston said, including #tweets & #Trump #PAC & campaign documents. That means in theory the defense could review it relatively quickly.

  13. His #MugShot looks like an angry Uncle Billy
    #RICO #Defendant #Trump
    #LoserTrump
    Sad day for the Office 😔
    A GREAT day for Democracy
    No one is above the LAW.

  14. @JudyOlo The mug shot is going to make history. Other countries gonna say, "First thy put an actor in the White House" then an actual #RICO #Defendant that his supporters STILL empty their bank accounts for. Sad.

  15. #SurrenderTrump
    #RICO #Defendant #Trump are words of some comfort to our family these days for all the pain this POS 💩 put US all through. I know my gloating says bad things about me. I'll think about that tomorrow.

  16. #Trump is also forbidden from making any “direct or indirect #threat of any nature against the community or to any property in the community,” including in “posts on #SocialMedia or reposts of posts”….
    
“The #defendant shall perform no act to #intimidate any person known to him … to be a #CoDefendant or #witness in this case or to otherwise #obstruct the administration of #justice,” the agreement says.
    
It is the first of his 4 #criminal #indictments where he has been asked to post #bond.

  17. The #defendant approached the #victim after noticing the #physical #contact, #court #documents state.

    “The victim then turned towards the #defendant who responded by #punching the #victim three times in the head area,” #police noted.

    “In explanation, the defendant stated he believed the victim had assaulted a fellow protester and that the victim was going to assault him next.”

  18. The 3rd #defendant, #DeOliveira, property mgr at #MarALago, was charged for the 1st time in the #SupersedingIndictment. He was to enter his plea Thurs to 4 counts for his alleged role in a scheme w/ #Trump & #Nauta to delete #SecurityFootage revealing MAL workers moving boxes of govt materials that feds had already demanded be returned.
    #DeOliveira was not #arraigned bc a FL-based atty had not yet notified the court they are representing De Oliveira — a req for #arraignments in So FL fed courts.
