Trump's lawyers are now ordered to appear before the court by 5 PM on Monday [View all]

Donald Trump swore in court yesterday he would not attempt to influence or intimidate witnesses, retaliate against anyone, or in any other way attempt to obstruct the administration of justice.

“Are you prepared to comply?” the magistrate judge asked.

“Yes,” Trump replied.

**********

This should not be done by his lawyers but by Trump himself. The court and the magistrate gave him an
order as part of his pre-trial release and he did not follow those orders. Lock his ass up now.

Does this mean only the lawyers? MOMFUDSKI Aug 2023 #18

The lawyers will respond in writing, as per the normal procedure. Ocelot II Aug 2023 #21

Someone is being called to the Principal's office. Never a good thing. n/t aggiesal Aug 2023 #19

No, they aren't. This is a routine motion being handled in a routine manner. Ocelot II Aug 2023 #22

As the screenshot in #11 says, they have to produce a "revised version" of the protective order muriel_volestrangler Aug 2023 #25

Exactly. I don't think there was ever any question that there would be one - Ocelot II Aug 2023 #27

Don't minimize it, he's being called to the Principal's office for something he did. n/t aggiesal Aug 2023 #26

No, he isn't. That might come later, but all this is about Ocelot II Aug 2023 #28

His lawyer represent him. He did something and now the Principal is calling. Don't minimize it. n/t aggiesal Aug 2023 #33

No. He is not being called on the carpet. He will not be anywhere near "the carpet." His lawyers 3Hotdogs Aug 2023 #88

He has a constitutional right not to testify, and that's the only answer he needs to give. Ocelot II Aug 2023 #47

Coward is the question nowforever Aug 2023 #73

If he wants to testify, his lawyers cannot do anything to stop him, it is his right and the Judge Bev54 Aug 2023 #57

If the lawyers know that he will lie - and he surely will - Ocelot II Aug 2023 #72

Are his lawyers smart enough to request a recusal? I hope he insists on testifying Bev54 Aug 2023 #74

It's a withdrawal, not a recusal, but before seeking the court's permission to withdraw Ocelot II Aug 2023 #77

Now that would be fun, I do hope either way they do get cameras in the courtroom. Bev54 Aug 2023 #78

Could he use that strategy to delay the trial more than once? drray23 Aug 2023 #102

I think this judge would recognize it as a delaying tactic and put a stop to it Ocelot II Aug 2023 #103
