#Chutkan’s decision gives the government an opportunity to lay out new #evidence against #Trump, though how much, if at all, they will choose to reveal in the run-up to the #election remains to be seen.

In court, Trump defense attorney #JohnLauro had sparred w/Chutkan over the schedule, arguing that the next 2 months is a “very sensitive time” before Republican nominee Trump faces the Democratic nominee, MVP #KamalaHarris, at the polls.

Uh Oh: Trump's Lead Counsel In DC Case Is Not A Member Of DC Bar

John Lauro, Trump's main lawyer in the DC January 6th case, received notice from the DC Court of Appeals clerk on Wednesday notifying him that he will cannot proceed with the case until he becomes a member of the DC Bar.

Crooks and Liars

U.S. District Court Judge #TanyaChutkan issued a limited gag order preventing former President #DonaldTrump from "publicly targeting" court staff, including special counsel #JackSmith, during his D.C. federal election case. The order restricts inflammatory comments about staff and potential witnesses. Trump's attorney, #JohnLauro, challenged the order citing free speech, but Chutkan dismissed political motives behind the protection.

TFG: John, I want to Truth an attack on Fani Willis but that bitch said I have to run all my posts by you.
Lauro: Yes Mr. President. You do. What do you want to say?
TFG: She's an election RIGGER.
Lauro: Brilliant! Nobody will figure that out!
TFG: I also want to say "You came after me, I'm going to come after you!"

John Lauro outlined a potential defence on TV. Prosecutors say the former president’s legal team should be prepared for a January trial date

The Independent

Donald has been accused of crimes,
And John Lauro's here to plead his case in time
On TV he appears, but his defense just won't clear
For what he claims just makes no sense
His words seem to have little consequence
Those who stand with Donald, soon must relent
For his lawyer's defense is far too dense

O Donald, the former President
Your lawyer seeks to represent
Constructing a defense
To the charges immense
That the world knows were your true intent
