#Prosecutor Molly Gaston just told Judge #Chutkan that the DC #ElectionObstruction case against #Trump should happen “as soon as possible” because TFG has been posting on #SocialMedia on a near-daily basis about the case & talking about #witnesses & #evidence, among other things.
“This potentially #prejudices the #jury pool,” #Gaston said. “And so under the #SpeedyTrialAct, Your Honor, we need to find a time for trial as soon as the #defense can reasonably be ready.”

#Trump #lawyer John Lauro, in arguing that he needs 2 years to prepare for the DC #federal #charges against his client, said there are 250 potential govt #witnesses “and counting” so far.
#Lauro noted that figure doesn’t incl any potential #defense witnesses, & efforts by Trump’s legal team to conduct their own investigation.

The Save America #PAC has also paid #lawyers who are representing #witnesses in the #Trump investigations, including the congressional inquiry into the Capitol riot, raising questions about possible efforts to #influence #testimony.
Save America’s fund-raising efforts have been a focus of one of the investigations by the #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith…. Smith’s team has asked why Save America is paying some witnesses’ lawyers.

Facing a wide array of #criminal charges, #Trump is using money from small #donors to defend himself legally — a practice that raises #ethical questions.
…abuse of donors? …Trump is raising money for one stated reason — his run for office — & apparently using some of it for another, his #legal troubles….

#JudgeChutkan Limits #Trump’s Ability to Share #Jan6 #Evidence
The federal #judge overseeing #Trump’s #prosecution on #charges of seeking to overturn the #2020election rejected his request on Fri to be able to speak broadly about #evidence & #witnesses.
During a 90-min #hearing in DC, Judge Tanya S. #Chutkan also warned she would take necessary “measures” to keep him from any attempt to #IntimidateWitnesses or #prejudice potential #jurors.

…#JudgeChutkan said the “existence of a political campaign” will not have a bearing on her decisions & that #Trump is running for president should not interfere w/the “orderly administration of #justice.”
“If that means he can’t say exactly what he wants to say about #witnesses in this case, then that’s how it’s going to be,” #Chutkan said Fri in a #hearing where she sought to resolve an early battle over limiting what TFG & his #defense can potentially reveal about govt #evidence in the case.

“As a three-decade former state prosecutor in New York, I have never seen a defendant treated as leniently as defendant Trump. He has a rap sheet with 3 open felony indictments, 78-charges, in 3 separate jurisdictions.
In THREE separate jurisdictions. He has repeatedly #threatened #prosecutors, #judges, and potential #witnesses and has his own 757 jumbo jet at the ready to fly anywhere in the world and can abscond at any time. And the nature of his charges are among the most serious there are — he is accused of stealing our nation’s most sensitive secrets, trying to destroy evidence of his crimes, committing fraud in the oval office, and causing a violent insurrection in order to attempt to steal an election he lost, and our democracy. Imagine if he were Black or Muslim. There is no doubt he would be incarcerated pending trial.”

“All the proposed order seeks to prevent is the #improper #dissemination or use of #discovery materials, including to the public. Such a restriction is particularly important in this case because the defendant has previously issued public statements on social media regarding #witnesses, #judges, #attorneys, & others associated w/ #legal matters pending against him.…”

…Stephen Gillers, professor of #law at NYU School of Law, says the “danger signs” are if the organization chooses the #attorney for the employee & the worker doesn’t get a say in the matter, or the #lawyer also represents the org itself — which does not appear to be at issue in the #Trump case.
The more potentially perplexing #ConflictOfInterest is one that arises when a lawyer represents multiple #witnesses to a #crime, & one of those individuals subsequently faces #criminal exposure himself.
