As always, I can’t reply during live-thread of multiple reporters. Plz remember to preface q’s w “Not for Laffy” or something similar since I’m too distracted to answer. Others can for me. TY.
#Now it’s #Ivanka Trump’s turn to face questioning in the #civil#fraud#trial that is publicly probing into the family business. #Trump’s eldest daughter, who has been in his inner circle in both #business & #politics, is due on the stand Wed, after trying unsuccessfully to block her #testimony.
Trump stands up and walks out during Roberta Kaplan's closing. “The record will reflect that Mr. Trump just rose & walked out of the courtroom,” #JudgeKaplan says. This is an unusual breach of decorum, & Roberta Kaplan continues as though nothing unusual happened.
The trial is scheduled to last until the end of Dec but is expected to end sooner.
Trump arrived in the courtroom & strode past AG #LetitiaJames, seated in the first row, w/o making eye contact & immediately took a seat at the defense table.
While pool photographers took his picture at the defense table, looking solemn, in camera-ready way, Judge #Engoron looked amused.
Trump gripes trial is 'unfair' after judge's #GagOrder
(it was just in regards to the judge’s staff.)
After the trial wrapped up yesterday, Trump aired his #grievances in a post on his social media platform, saying the trial is “unfair” & again suggesting it was an attempt to interfere w/his presidential campaign.
The day began w/ yesterday’s drama. Trump attys accused #NY Supreme Court Justice Arthur #Engoron's #LawClerk, #AllisonGreefield, of bias, & the asserted she influences the judge.
Yesterday, Engoron warned Trump atty #Kise not to speak about court staff, & noted a pattern of #misogyny in Kise’s behavior toward women in the courtroom.
Trump continued to #attack#James, #Engoron & the trial itself in posts to his social media platform this morning.
He again suggested that the trial is an attempt to interfere w/ his presidential campaign & complained about the lack of a jury in the trial.
(It is long established that either are issues)
Trump won’t be in court today. He had no legal obligation to attend, & left yesterday, noticeably angry.
#Trump continued his attacks against #James hours before he returned to court for the 2nd day of arguments in the #civil#fraud#trial that the #NewYork AG brought against him & his company.
In 2 posts on his social platform this morning, Trump used derogatory terms to #attack James while denying any wrongdoing against allegations that he #inflated his #assets.
In Taking Up #Trump’s #Immunity Claim, #SCOTUS Bolstered His #Delay Strategy
By scheduling a hearing for late April on TFG’s assertion that he cannot be prosecuted for his actions in office, the justices increased the chances that he will not face #trial by #Election Day
US District Judge #AileenCannon’s ultimatum Mon night came as a surprise twist in what could have been a simple order; one merely asking federal prosecutors & Trump’s lawyers for proposed #JuryInstructions at the upcoming #trial.
The trial on charges that Donald Trump willfully retained classified national security records after leaving the White House was scheduled to start May 20.
11-6-23 Nicole Sandler Show — Trump Testified Testily Today
View on Zencastr
I tried to keep the title of today's episode light, though I'm feeling anything but. Yes, I was glad to hear that TFG was compelled to testify today, but it was more of the same from this teflon turd who gets away with crap that would find anyone else displaying the same juvenile lack of decorum bound and gagge https://nicolesandler.com/11-6-23/ #NicolesBlog#fraud#LisaGraves#NY#trial#Trump
The US #SupremeCourt said it will rule on Trump’s bid for immunity from criminal prosecution, taking up a historic case that will determine whether Trump will stand #trial for 2020 #ElectionInterference.
NEW: Judge #Cannon enters an Order “temporarily staying” the requirement for #Trump to have to file his CIPA Section 5 notice in the MAL classified #documents case.
Sec. 5 requires Trump to disclose to the Government the classified materials he intends on using at trial. #trial
New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur #Engoron, who oversaw the 3-month bench #trial, had previously said he aimed to issue his verdict in the case by the end of Jan.
That's no longer the plan. The written verdict is now expected to hit the electronic court docket on or around Feb 5.
The NY judge presiding over one (bc there’s >1) of Trump’s #criminal trials imposed a gag order on Tues that prohibits him from attacking #witnesses, #prosecutors & #jurors, the latest effort to rein in Trump’s wrathful rhetoric.

Some thoughts on #trump getting his 4th #indictment in the #Georgia#Election interference case (which may not even go to #trial before the #2024Election 🙃), and wondering if THIS will finally be the case that results in some actual #consequences or if #teflonDon will just slide out of it like he has everything in his rotten life so far? 🙃
The man doused himself w/a liquid around 1:35PM ET in Collect Pond Park, across the street from the courthouse. Onlookers screamed as bright orange flames engulfed the man. It was unclear what motivated his action.
