Trump Fired Up In New York
Former President Donald Trump took to the cameras in the New York civil fraud trial to explain how defense expert Eli Bartov destroyed Leticia James’ case. During a fiery exchange, Mr. Bartov told a Tish prosecutor that she “should be ashamed of herself” for bringing this case based on made-up charges.
Trump’s defense filed a motion to STAY the January 6th case pending appeal of Judge Tanya Chutkan’s recent order denying Trump’s motion to dismiss. Special Counsel Jack Smith objects to the motion as the government races towards a March trial start date.
Trump co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliviera are fighting for access to information about the classified documents that Jack Smith alleges they had access to and “obstructed,” but for some reason now can’t review. Defense attorneys argue the Special Counsel continues to file motions ex parte outside the knowledge of their team, putting them at a serious trial disadvantage. Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.
