BREAKING—

Ghislaine Maxwell's sex-trafficking trial has been ADJOURNED until the fall because of new charges.

It was previously scheduled for July.

Developing story @LawCrimeNews.
lawandcrime.com/high-profile/j…
Maxwell requested the postponement because of the superseding indictment from March that added sex-trafficking charges.

The govt opposed any delay, citing stress to the victims.

The judge gave a shorter delay than requested.

Background: lawandcrime.com/high-profile/g…
Maxwell pleaded not guilty to all charges in her recent court appearance.
To be clear, the new charges refer to those leveled in her most recent superseding indictment from late March.

A status conference for multiple Proud Boys defendants—Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs and Charles Donohoe—in the U.S. Capitol riot docket has begun.

Some background on the Nordean case here, via @Aaron_Keller_. lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol-si…
On that background story, Nordean was subsequently ordered to remain in jail following publication of that story.

This hearing is on other matters.

Good morning.

The NRA bankruptcy trial is heading to closing arguments today. I will be covering those proceedings for @LawCrimeNews.

Up first is the New York Attorney General's office, seeking to dismiss the case

Background art19.com/shows/objectio…
Gerrit Pronske is delivering summations on behalf of the NYAG:

"This case was filed for a pure litigation strategy purpose: to 'dump New York,' which basically means to escape regulation in the New York proceeding."
Pronske on the NRA bankruptcy case:

"It is a circus sideshow that eventually ends up without succeeding to stop the New York proceeding."

NRA chief Wayne LaPierre is testifying in the bankruptcy trial again—this time, friendlier questioning by a lawyer from his own organization.

In case you missed the more contentious round weeks ago, hear audio highlights on my @LawCrimeNews podcast: art19.com/shows/objectio…
Just a note on the embedded player at the top of the thread by @ART19co:

The interface allows you to subscribe to your listening platform of choice on this drop-down menu. Is your fav not on this list?

Let me know what you use in the replies.
Back to LaPierre's testimony—

Some of the q-s by the NRA's lawyer Greg Garman:

How many hours a week do you work as the organization's executive vice president?

How much of your work is forward facing rather than in the office?

You brought up friends dinners. What are those?

Now:

The late Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick's accused assailants George Tanios and Julian Khater are renewing their pretrial release requests.

They filed their motions the day after the D.C. Medical Examiner's ruling on Sicknick.

Neither of the men have been accused by prosecutors of any role in Sicknick's death, which the Medical Examiner attributed to natural causes.

Background in the story at the top of the thread.
Khater’s lawyer Joseph Tacopina is speaking on behalf of his client now, offering a $15 million bond ("unheard of," he says), home detention and surrendering of his passports.
