Very naive thought that Prosecutor Offices don't leak information.....but that's my opinion only

No doubt there are people who might do something untoward, but anyone with a pattern of breaking judicial ethics would face disciplinary actions and can be removed from their position. It's the same type of governance that regulates the medical profession, etc.

Being a regular here, you would see how often families are told investigative details but are asked not to speak of them until the trial. In general, the families can be trusted to do that. Unfortunately, it is broadly known that T, with what seems like malicious intent, is unable or unwilling to abide by these requirements

The Prosecutor's office is governed by a code of professional ethics so this isn't really an issue for them. It requires this special directive only because Trump holds contempt for the judicial process.

Yep, it's needed because of ol' loose lips blabbermouth over there.

In his order, Judge Juan Merchan largely sided with the Manhattan district attorney by limiting what Trump can publicly disclose about new evidence from the prosecution before the case goes to trial.


Merchan's order said that anyone with access to the evidence being turned over to Trump's team from state prosecutors “shall not copy, disseminate or disclose” the material to third parties, including social media platforms, “without prior approval from the court."


It also singles out Trump, saying he is allowed to review sensitive "Limited Dissemination Materials" from prosecutors only in the presence of his lawyers, and "shall not be permitted to copy, photograph, transcribe, or otherwise independently possess the Limited Dissemination Materials."

The ruling largely tracks a request for a protective order from the Manhattan district attorney's office that Trump's attorneys had complained was “extremely restrictive.”

In addition, the order restricts Trump from reviewing "forensic images of witness cell phones," although his lawyers can show him "approved portions" of the images after they get permission from the judge.

He's not going to be able to stop himself from talking in public about anything he sees or hears or reads or is told about.

I don't think he's going to face ANY justice, not on this side anyway.

Michael Cohen is asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit he faces from former President Trump, portraying it as retaliation for being a witness in Manhattan prosecutors’ criminal case against the former president.

Trump last month sued Cohen, his long-time fixer and personal attorney who has since turned against him, for $500 million over breach of contract and other claims.

In the new dismissal motion, Cohen’s attorneys contended Trump’s suit must be tossed because many of Trump’s claims were brought too late, while others weren’t specific enough or did not show that Trump suffered any harm.

Wondering when this virtual hearing with Trump will take place - anyone see anything on that?
Otherwise his next hearing according to my notes is 12/4/23. If any in between - please "tag" me - so I can change my notes!
TIA!

Sounds like a fair verdict!
Surprisingly he doesn’t think so. He thinks it’s a witch hunt. My apologies to anyone who identifies as a witch.

Former President Donald Trump's motion to move the New York criminal case against him to federal court will be heard next month.

A federal judge in New York, Alvin Hellerstein, scheduled the hearing for Trump's bid for June 27. Trump's lawyers filed to have the case moved from state court on May 4, saying that "the case involves important federal questions since the indictment charges President Trump for conduct committed while he was president of the United States."

I wonder if that effort will succeed because his conduct began while he was a candidate and had not yet been elected.

Trump to get schooled on rules after district attorney worries he’ll use evidence to slam witnesses​

Donald Trump was ordered Thursday to appear by video at a May 23 hearing in his Manhattan criminal case after a judge this week set rules barring him from using evidence in the case to attack witnesses.

Judge Juan Manuel Merchan scheduled the hybrid hearing — the former president on a TV screen, his lawyers and prosecutors in court — to go over the restrictions with Trump and to make clear that he risks being held in contempt if he violates them.

Merchan added Trump’s virtual hearing to the court calendar a day after Trump appeared on a CNN forum and offered up a barrage of falsehoods, excuses and insults on a variety of topics, including what he deemed the “fake charge” of his criminal case.

The case is continuing in state court even as Trump’s lawyers seek to have it moved to federal court.
