In reply to the discussion: Trump's lawyers are now ordered to appear before the court by 5 PM on Monday [View all]Botany
(70,657 posts)15. Trump was ordered not to speak/tweet like he just did on Thursday afternoon and by Friday PM he was
breaking the court's orders.
********
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.
******
Make him appear before the court himself on Monday then take him into custody for violating the courts orders
and then release him on Tuesday or Wednesday so he can appear before Fani Willis in Georgia.

See above posts. This is not a motion to sanction TFG or to change the conditions of his release.

If he wants to testify, his lawyers cannot do anything to stop him, it is his right and the Judge

Are his lawyers smart enough to request a recusal? I hope he insists on testifying

It's a necessary step before she calls him in. Giving them "the talk" about discipling their client.

No, it hasn't. This is just TFG's motion *asking* the deadline to be moved to 8/10.
