#Iran-ian banker Hasheminejad is before Judge Nathan here in #SDNY. Steptoe wants to stay in despite JPMC conflict - thread
First step: upcoming Curcio hearing. Steptoe does not want #JPMorgan to have to waive conflict. Formally objects. @SDNYLIVE
Judge Nathan asks for Hasheminejad trial date. His lawyer says he had a trial next year that's tragically canceled. #Epstein
Hasheminejad's other lawyer also has a time conflict. He represents Huawei. Quite a trio here: Iran banker, Epstein, Huawei
Who else might this dynamic duo represent, to replace #Epstein? CEFC China's @AntonioGuterres? #crowdsourcing @SDNYLIVE

Note: #Bronx defendants in #SDNY don't get this kind of treatment. Hasheminejad is not in custody, trial date pushed back
Curcio hearing is set for Sept 9 at 10 am; Weinberg's Steptoe's represents #JPMorgan which is involved in Hasheminejad scam
Hasheminejad wants his non-pertinent seized e-mails back. AUSA Denton says they are not searching them for new documents
Judge Nathan says January trial may not be possible. Status conference is over. InnerCityPress.com story soon

OK- now in Trump Trial "Sandoval" hearing, Part 59, seated 30 feet behind Trump. This hearing will be about what the prosecutors want to ask Trump if he testifies. Inner City Press wrote book on Carroll trial & will live tweet, thread belowamazon.com/dp/B0CTFPXKGM
All rise!
Prosecutor Hoffinger: Before the Sandoval hearing, we move to seal four exhibits, including Michael Cohen's contacts.
Trump's lawyer Bove: PII, fine. But they are trying to seal trial exhibits.
[There's a loud banging, unexplained]
Justice Merchan: Sit down. I'm signing the order.
Trump's lawyer Bove: We object to the People raising the issues in their Sandoval notice. They start with Judge Engoran's findings. They cannot be used to cross examine President Trump should he testify

OK - #TrumpTrial Day 4 - and last? - of jury selection, amid issues of what can or should be reported: not jurors' place of employment, but political links? Inner City Press wrote the book on Carroll v Trump & will live tweet, thread belowamazon.com/dp/B0CTFPXKGM
All rise!
Clerk: This is the People of the State of New York against Donald J. Trump.
Justice Merchan: I'm told that all 22 jurors are already here. Any reason we cannot bring them in? We are still working on the temperature in the courtroom
[It *is* cold]
Justice Merchan: Jurors, you're to answer the questionnaire. Please begin by reading your three digit number out loud.
428 (lady) I have anxiety. I may not be able to not be emotional. People can figure out I'm here, just from not being present.
