Former President Donald Trump’s appeals in New York have been denied and Judge Juan Merchan is racing to a hard trial date, now releasing instructions on jury selection to the parties in the Alvin Bragg prosecution. Inside, Merchan wants to know if any jurors have affiliations with right-wing groups, like the Oath Keepers or the Proud Boys, to presumably remove them from the jury panel.
Trump’s defense continues to fight for access to Stormy Daniel’s documentary footage, filing a pre-motion letter seeking to enforce a previously issued subpoena against Bragg’s star witness.
Trump’s attorney Steve Sadow moved to appeal Georgia Judge Scott McAfee’s denial of First Amendment protections, seeking permission from the court to obtain an Appellate review of the defense motion to dismiss. Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.
In Georgia, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis could be facing felony charges. Trump co-defendant Harrison Floyd claims that Willis’ office illegally recorded a phone call with his attorney in an unrelated criminal case in Maryland.
Floyd says that Willis and her office may have violated the Maryland Wiretapping Act, which requires both parties to agree to be recorded during all in-person or telephone communication. Here’s more from the Next News Network.
