Two months before the #CitizensUnited decision…, #attorney #CletaMitchell — later to play a role in #Trump’s false claims about the 2020 elections — filed papers for #GinniThomas to create a *#nonprofit* group of a type that ultimately benefited from the decision. #Leo was one of two directors listed on a separate application to conduct business in the state of Virginia. #Thomas was president. She signed it on New Year’s Eve of 2009, & #Crow provided much of the initial #cash.

When you are a defendant on trial, there are definitely expectations on how you behave. Beating up your own attorney moments before opening statements is not one of those expectations: https://original.newsbreak.com/@the-la-insider-1739615/3150563507142-attack-in-courtroom-shocks-murder-trial

In May of last year, shortly after the #Justice Dept issued a #subpoena to #Trump for all #ClassifiedDocuments at his #MaraLago estate, Trump's then-lead #attorney on the matter, #EvanCorcoran, warned the fmr president in person, at Mar-a-Lago, that not only did Trump have to fully #comply w/the #subpoena, but that the #FBI might #search the estate if he didn't, acc/to Corcoran's #audio notes following the conversation.

Navarro’s contempt trial is going on, his (& everyone else's) #attorney is #StanleyWoodward (see my earlier posts about #ClassifiedDocuments case), anyway when #Woodward got up to speak he said the following "For starters, ‘Dr. Navarro’ — not ‘Mr. Navarro’ as the government has referred to him — is a PhD economist w/a degree from Harvard." This cracks me up, I’m #OldEnoughToRemember when the entire #Republican establishment laughed at refused to call Jill #Biden “doctor” despite her #doctorate.

Key #witness in #Trump #ClassifiedDocuments case entered into a #deal w/prosecutors to provide #testimony, his fmr (paid by Trump) #attorney said in a #court #filing.
The deal was reached after #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith’s office “threatened” to prosecute the witness, who is the head of #IT at Mar-a-Lago, for #lying to a #GrandJury, atty #StanleyWoodward, said in the filing.

The written #plea was filed Thurs by #SteveSadow, an #Atlanta #criminal #defense #attorney who was tapped Aug 24 to lead TFG’s #Georgia-based #legal team. The #CourtFiling means #Trump won’t return to ATL on Wed, where #FultonCounty Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee… has scheduled a series of #arraignment #hearings for Trump & the 18 #CoDefendants in the sprawling criminal #racketeering case.

John Lauro, #attorney for #Trump, blasted the federal #prosecutors’ arguments for an earlier #TrialDate in DC as “absurd” & “unfair”.
“This is a request for a show trial, not a speedy trial. I’m sorry, your honor; for a federal prosecutor to suggest that we could go on trial in 4 months is not only absurd, it’s a violation of the oath to do justice” #Lauro fumed.
As Lauro’s voice rose, Judge Tanya #Chutkan sought to calm him. “Let’s take the temperature down,” she twice advised the #lawyer.

#ShawnStill, a #Georgia #Republican charged w/ #Trump in a #racketeering #conspiracy to subvert the #2020election, says he signed false papers… #AtTrumpsDirection.
“Still, as a presidential elector, was also acting at the direction of the incumbent president of the United States,” his #attorney Thomas Bever argued Thurs in a #CourtFiling seeking to transfer the case against him to #FederalCourt.

…In the case of fmr #Trump personal #attorney Rudy #Giuliani, …#jail records initially listed him at 5′9″ & 180 pounds. But later the same day the numbers had changed without explanation to 5′11″ & 230 pounds. An individual who accompanied Giuliani to his booking, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive subject, said they did not recall anyone asking the fmr NYC mayor for his height or weight, nor do they recall him being asked to step on a scale.

#Georgia prosecutors asked a state judge to schedule Trump’s #racketeering #trial for Oct 23, 2023, an unexpectedly #expedited timeline proposed in response to a formal demand by 1 of #Trump’s 18 #codefendants for a #SpeedyTrial.
The demand came Wed from Kenneth #Chesebro, an #attorney who is accused of orchestrating a scheme to send #FakeElectors to Congress.
