Maybe Friday for Georgia? Today for DC Fed?

There are no traffic alerts as of yet.  I assume I would hear that first bc of security & such. 

 

Edit, I'm assuming TFG has attorneys :ols:  in town and it would be a local news alert.

“Suicide mission”: Trump reportedly turned down by lawyers because his “case is a certain loser”

 

Former President Donald Trump is struggling to find enough lawyers to defend him in a mounting number of legal cases, according to Rolling Stone.

 

Trump, who has been indicted in connection to the 2016 campaign hush-money payments in Manhattan and the Mar-a-Lago documents case, faces potential indictments for his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in D.C. and Georgia. But Trump's effort to recruit new lawyers to defend him has been "fraught," in part because Trump is an "infamously difficult client," sources told the outlet.

 

One attorney who turned down Trump told Rolling Stone they were dissuaded by the long track record of Trump's lawyers finding themselves in their own legal jeopardy. Other attorneys who have discussed the case with Trump believe the Jan. 6 "case is a certain loser for the defense," according to the report. Given that the trial would be held in deep-blue D.C., even some of Trump's top legal and political advisers have privately called the job of defending Trump a "suicide mission," the report added.

 

Other lawyers have approached the Trump team themselves and were "initially receptive" before "pulling out because of concerns from their peers," according to the report, which added that partners at some firms objected to taking on the former president as a client because it could cost them other clients.

Obviously not! Was expecting J6 indictment not another player for documents. Lol! Well there's more charges on Trump to in the documents case. So partly right.

 

Wish I had lottery numbers!

Prosecutors haven't reached agreement in the documents case regarding the handling of classified information, like they should be in a SCIF.  Trump's lawyers want them in Trump's office in MAL or Bedminster for convenience. From the linked article:

 

The DOJ said Thursday a “significant portion” of the classified information that the defense team will receive before trial is so highly sensitive it must only be viewed in a SCIF. Many of the records Trump is accused of mishandling are at the sensitive compartmented level as well.

 

The filing was largely overshadowed on Thursday by the Justice Department securing expanded criminal charges against Trump and two of his employees in the case. Yet the arguments highlight the ongoing struggle the federal government has had with the ex-president regarding the handling of national security records.

 

“Defendant Trump’s personal residences and offices are not lawful locations for the discussion of classified information, any more than they would be for any private citizen. Since the conclusion of Defendant Trump’s presidency, neither the Mar-a-Lago Club nor the Bedminster Club has been an authorized location for the storage, possession, review, display, or discussion of classified information,” prosecutors wrote in the court filing.

 

“It is particularly striking that he seeks permission to do so in the very location at which he is charged with willfully retaining the documents charged in this case.”

I could see an argument to allow his attorneys to retain copies of the redacted documents which prosecution intends to show to the jury.  

 

Although I could also see DoJ deciding that hey, making the jury view the evidence in a SCIF would be a very telling way to demonstrate to the jury the contrast between a SCIF and "hey, I put a padlock on the closet door".

Trump Hush Money Case Will Remain in New York State Court, Judge Rules

 

A judge on Wednesday denied former President Donald J. Trump’s request to move the Manhattan criminal case against him from state to federal court.

 

The federal judge, Alvin K. Hellerstein, had signaled in a hearing last month that he was predisposed against moving the case brought by the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg. Mr. Bragg’s prosecutors have charged Mr. Trump with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, stemming from a hush money payment made to a porn star in 2016.

 

Mr. Trump’s lawyers had argued the case should be heard in federal court because it related to conduct he engaged in while president.

 

But in the order Judge Hellerstein issued Wednesday, he echoed his contention at the hearing that Mr. Trump’s lawyers had failed to show that the behavior at issue — reimbursements to Mr. Trump’s former fixer, Michael D. Cohen, for the hush money payment — was somehow related to the office of the presidency.

 

Judge Hellerstein wrote that the evidence overwhelmingly suggested that the matter involved something personal to the president: “a cover-up of an embarrassing event.”

 

“Hush money paid to an adult film star is not related to a president’s official acts,” he concluded in the order. “It does not reflect in any way the color of the president’s official duties.”

Donald Trump appeals judge’s decision to keep hush-money case in New York state court

 

Donald Trump asked a federal appeals court Friday to reverse a federal judge’s decision to keep his hush-money criminal case in a New York state court that the former president claims is “very unfair” to him.

 

Trump’s lawyers filed a notice of appeal with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan after U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein last week rejected his bid to move the case to federal court, where his lawyers were primed to argue he was immune from prosecution.

 

U.S. law allows criminal prosecutions to be moved from state to federal court if they involve actions taken by federal government officials as part of their official duties, but Hellerstein ruled that the hush-money case involved a personal matter, not presidential duties.
