"Donald Trump appeared indifferent as rioters stormed the #Capitol to try to prevent the transfer of power on #Jan6 2021, telling an aide “so what” even after learning security measures were being taken to protect his vice president"

#TrumpTrial 🧵 Monday 20 May 2024
#Trump has a huge posse today, including #KashPatel; #GerryKassar, a #conservative party leader in NY; #BernieKerik, fmr NYPD commissioner who was imprisoned for tax fraud & false statements; #AlanDershowitz, lawyer who defended Trump during his first impeachment, & #BorisEpshteyn, *legal* adviser who was #indicted in AZ for attempts to keep Trump in power after the 2020 election.

#Blanche may be suggesting that when #Trump referred to "cash" in that recording, he could have been referencing any number of payments.
(But the recording specifically
said “our friend David” meaning #Pecker)Trump aides #BorisEpshteyn & #KarolineLeavitt smile at this line of questioning w/ #MichaelCohen (maybe it was their idea)

긖긖긖 Pleased to report that my second #LittleFreeLibrary #LFL replacement plaque has arrived.
긖긖긖 Closely following @Nonilex & @GottaLaff finely grained #TrumpTrial reportage. Truly delightful reading. Makes my day!

Word has gone out to #Trump allies over the past few days that Trump wants to see a bigger show of support inside the courtroom. Trump's entourage is big enough today that they’re having trouble arranging themselves in the 2 rows of seats set aside for supporters of the defense's side.
Trump walks into the courtroom, trailed by #DougBurgum, #VivekRamaswamy, Eric & #LaraTrump, #BorisEpshteyn, & #AlinaHabba.

Justice Merchan said before proceedings began that he would not allow in a piece of evidence related to #AllenWeisselberg, the fmr CFO of the #TrumpOrganization, who is currently in #jail.
Prosecutors had hoped to put in evidence his severance agreement that requires #Weisselberg still be loyal to #Trump, to help explain his absence at the trial. But the judge is saying he won’t allow it.

Prosecution presents a page from #AllenWeisselberg’s phone records.
#JennieTomalin mentioned the names of 2 people who factor into the case: #Weisselberg, the #TrumpOrganization's fmr CFO, & #KeithDavidson, #StormyDaniels's fmr lawyer.
Tomalin testimony concluded.

Prosecutors say that #AllenWeisselberg, the fmr CFO of the #TrumpOrganization, designed the specific way that #MichaelCohen would be reimbursed for the #HushMoney payment he made to #StormyDaniels. #Weisselberg worked in coordination w/ #Trump, prosecutors say. #Necheles is trying to cast doubt on that.
We are starting to see the “blame it on Allen Weisselberg” defense.

Justice Merchan wrote that he was “keenly aware of, and protective of, Defendant’s First Amendment rights.” But nonetheless, he wrote that he would not tolerate continued violations of his orders and that if necessary and appropriate, he would “impose an incarceratory sentence.” In plain language, he is warning Trump that he will send him to jail if necessary.

Okay, after feeding/hydrating/bathing/drying/loving #BabySquirrel Ramone, my #TrumpTrial coverage is back on. Thank goodness they recognize adoptive #squirrel parental rights [obviously I’m kidding]
#BorisEpshteyn, Trump's #illegal adviser who was indicted yesterday in #Arizona, is here.
#Epshteyn is *aggressively* using his cell phone, which is #barred in #court. #CourtOfficers who patrol #journalists & others from doing the same aren’t enforcing the restriction on him.

I think his prison sentence should be him sitting in solitary confinement and having Stephen Fry reading out all of the insulting tweets ever written about him on a 24-hour loudspeaker.

#Conroy says that #Trump “violates the order when he posts about known #witnesses or reasonably forseeable witnesses,” & “violates the order when he posts about a #juror or prospective juror.”
+ Throwing a "#MAGA" into a post doesn't make it #political, Conroy says, dismissing the idea that Trump's comments fall under the category of protected political speech. It may, in fact, make it more ominous, Conroy adds.

#Colangelo describes “#CatchAndKill scheme, in which #NationalEnquirer bought stories that were problems for #Trump & buried them.
NOT NORMAL #journalismColangelo describes some NE headlines that helped Trump's 2016 #campaign, embarrassing campaign opponents incl’g #TedCruz & #MarcoRubio.
Prosecutors are limited to the HEADLINES per #Sandoval. They go to Trump’s #intent: to #influence the election by promoting negative stories about others & suppressing those about himself. -
“The court cautions defendant that this #Sandoval ruling is a shield, not a sword,” Merchan said. Defense arguments at court could prompt him to reconsider where he draws the line on these issues, he added.
The #jury is now in the courtroom. Justice Juan #Merchan is reading them their instructions.

#Merchan read his #Sandoval decision re:
the #civil #fraud finding that he misstated his assets; his 2 violations of a #GagOrder stemming from that case; 2 separate court findings of #defamation of #EJeanCarroll; & the dissolution of the #Trump foundation as part of a settlement w/the NYAG. The judge said he would not allow prosecutors to discuss in detail the underlying facts of those matters — but added a warning that could change.

Someone who's this angry about being rejected as a #juror after being caught lying about past criminal charges is exactly the type of person who shouldn't be on the #jury. This guy clearly had an agenda, and was rightly dismissed. Great work by #JudgeMerchan and the prosecutor!

#TrumpTrial🧵 cont’d
One prospective #juror said he only reads the New York Post & the New York Daily News. In other words, he's a NY unicorn.
At another point he said he only has a flip phone. "And therefore I do not *watch* any podcasts," he says, elliciting laughter.
The man says he has no friends or family who have been convicted of a #crime, but quickly amends his answer, more loudly, to no "close friends."
-
The first potential #juror that is being questioned this morning says she has previously worked as a #law clerk for the federal government & has discussed the #legal merits of this case w/many of her coworkers. Justice #Merchan asks if that would influence her if she’s chosen for the jury. She paused before saying she could be fair, but then added: “It is hard to unring a bell.” [no doubt. I couldn’t be on this #jury]
-
#Merchan is now saying that the DA’s office came across information about juror #4 that called the veracity of that juror's answers into questions. The juror did not arrive at court on time.
The judge notes that the #juror was asked to be here at 9:15 & is still not here, & he expressed some reluctance to come in this morning. He is letting the parties discuss whether to dismiss the juror or wait for him.

A Manhattan DA prosecutor, Joshua Steinglass, said that #juror 4 or someone w/ their name seems to have been #arrested in the 1990s in Westchester for tearing down #political ads. After some more research, he says, they also found that the juror's wife was previously involved in a #corruption inquiry & cooperated w/ the DA's office. This means that the juror, if they've identified the right person, #lied in response to one of the questions on the questionnaire.
-
"There's a reason this is an #anonymous #jury & why we have taken the steps we have taken," Justice #Merchan says, asking that the #press "abide common sense," & avoid physical descriptions.
Merchan says we lost a #juror who he thinks would have "been a very good juror."
"I'm directing the press to refrain from writing anything you observe w/your eyes & hear w/your ears that's not on the record," the judge says.

The #juror explained that aspects of her being part of the jury are now out in #public. She said she was concerned about people knowing her identity.
The juror is worried about what has already been reported about her publicly. She said she had friends, colleagues & family conveying to her that she had been identified as a potential juror.

Colony Capital was founded by #TomBarrack, a real estate mogul who chaired #Trump's #inauguration cmte & was the 2016 Trump campaign’s go to on foreign policy stuff.
Barrack was charged & went to #trial in Brooklyn #federal court re #FARA - it was alleged he was secretly acting as a foreign agent on behalf of the UAE in the campaign & then the WH.
In the end he was acquitted - but there was a cooperation deal.

Another interesting detail:
While #NYAG questioned #Birney about the spreadsheets & notations, Birney testified that Allen #Weisselberg directed him to use a specific rate to boost the value of #TrumpTower.
NYAG: “Where did that conversation occur?
Birney: “In the restroom of Trump Tower.”
(which calls to mind…)
