Per @AaronKatersky: FedJudge: fed gov’t tried to interfere w/@MichaelCohen212’s 1st amnt rights imposing certain conditions on his home confinement - Judge agreed Trump’s frm personal attorney + fixer was retaliated against when remanded back to fed prison from COVID furlough 1/5
The condition in question required Cohen to have “no engagement of any kind with the media, including print, TV, film, books or any other form of news/media.” 2/5
“How can I take any other inference but that it was retaliatory,” Judge Alvin Hellerstein asked rhetorically during a hearing. “In 21 years of being a judge…I’ve never seen such a clause.” - @AaronKatersky reports @ABC 3/5
The judge ordered Cohen released from prison by Friday afternoon and returned to home confinement subject to conditions that will be renegotiated over the next week. 4/5
“Just as you wouldn’t have a press conference from a jail cell you should not have a press conference from your home,” Judge Hellerstein said. “You can’t make a person confined in jail or at home into a free person. There has to be a limit.” @ABC’s @AaronKatersky reports 5/5

All 18 prospective jurors who were ushered into the jury box for this first panel finished reading all their answers to jury questionnaire before the judge dismissed court for today.
A woman from prospective jury panel of 18 was excused bc 1 of her answers to jury questionnaire. she answered “yes” to question 29 on the questionnaire; Asked if 29 was yes by Judge Merchan, he then asked her to step forward to speak with counsel. she was then dismissed.
She told reporters outside court room question 29 had to do with biases against Trump that would not allow her to be an impartial juror in the case.

Trump Payroll attorney Michael Van Der Veen told me “there was a lot of bias” when I asked if dismissed jurors from the panel had connections or biases against Trump, Trump Org, Weisselbergs, etc.
He also told me among those prospective jurors dismissed were people who had connections to the organization, people with connections to the grammar school Columbia Prep three who knew prosecution.
Van Der Deen said they’d like jury selection to conclude on Friday but tbd on how realistic that is.

Latest in Trump Org criminal trial day 1: jury selection under way -

Out of a group of 130 prospective jurors, nearly 50 raised their hand to go back to speak with the judge, prosecution and defense outside the court room [no press access so we can’t hear]
to talk over any issues they have named by the judge that would exclude them from serving, and bringing the jury questionnaire we haven’t seen yet.
Reasons for jurors seeking to be excused could scheduling conflicts and the normal rung of issues that jurors seek to be excused from. Or Bias and connections to or opinions on a list of names that would impede them from serving as a juror - or judge of the facts.
