OK - Trevor Milton presentment @sdnylive Magistrates Court. Lawyers whispering about a property in Utah. Seems he'll be freed on bond. Inner Cuty Press will live tweet - thread below.
Im the front: Milton and four defense lawyers. Three @sdnylive prosecutors, including Nick Roos. Two Marshals. Awaiting Magistrate Judge Netburn.
Milton surrendered at 8 am. Case is assigned to District Judge Edgardo Ramos (who's also in #OneCoin cases.) Milton pleads not guilty. Freed on $100 million bond. Less than Tom Barrack's $250 million
Milton can travel Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona, Virginia and DC (for lobbying?) No contact with investors unless Milton has a relationship with them. Morgan, Utah property appraised over $30 million (contra Pre Trial Services report)
Milton's lawyer says his income is down, no $50 million in bank.
Judge Netburn approved free today on $100 million bond. Surrender guns.

OK - now Jan 6 case of US v. Hale-Cusanelli is before DDC Judge McFadden, with an eye to setting a trial date. Inner City Press has covered the case innercitypress.com/ddc58haleicp06… and will live tweet, thread below. DOJ videos still withheld, song: soundcloud.com/innercitypress…
AUSA: I understand that the defendant is detained and I take that seriously, but there must be more time. The volume of evidence is unprecedented.
Judge McFadden: You continue arresting people?
AUSA: The bucket of evidence is enormous. Human actors cannot review
AUSA: We only have one actual computer system that can handle that volume. I cannot email it to defense counsel. We are working with the contractor.
OK - now Jan 6 case of US v. Daniel Goodwyn, "self-proclaimed Proud Boy," before DDC Judge Walton - US wants to revoke conditions of relief. Video still withheld (and no answer on Harkrider). Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below soundcloud.com/innercitypress…
Goodwyn's lawyer: My client has a problem when he's asked to put on a mask. And he's autistic. He's been treated for it. His aggression only comes out in discussions about masks. "He's also not into vaccines, really."
Goodwyn's lawyer: He told me he was terrified of going to Sherman. He feels like he's being asked to do thing that from a mental health standpoint he can't do. I called the new PSA person, to introduce myself. Twice. I've done it for 40 years.
Banned Inner City Press asked, YET *AGAIN* on N#igeria, what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres and DSG Amina J. Mohammed on that the DSS raided Igboho’s Ibadan home, just like security agents severally stormed Kanu’s country home in Umuahia?
Inner City Press asked, On Angola and corruption, what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on that an international court has ruled that Isabel Dos Santos must surrender oil and gas shares worth $500 million? And disclose Angola help to Guterres
OK - now in Jan 6 case of US v. Alex Harkrider is before DDC Judge Hogan. GPS location monitoring (pricing) dispute. (Still, other than in 2 cases, DOJ videos not provided). Inner City Press will live tweet, below. Song: soundcloud.com/innercitypress…
Harkrider's lawyer: My client wants to volunteer. He's in Texas, it's 100 degrees [then she is cut off]
Judge Hogan: Why don't you just call in?
Harkrider's lawyer: This happened last May in the Circuit. [garbled]
Harkrider's lawyer: I'm super close to the router... It's an emotion problem that Mr. Harkrider has. Wearing the ankle monitor in front of others when you're trying to do volunteer work, it's stressful. He has temporary custody of his son but can't wear shorts
OK - now movie producer Dillon Jordan, charged with prostitution, is set to be arraigned before @sdnylive Judge Cronan. Inner City Press reported on his presentment in LA innercitypress.com/sdny61bcronanj… and will live tweet, thread below
Judge Cronan: I previously worked for DOJ, at SDNY until August 2017, then the Criminal Division in DC until confirmed by the Senate in August 2020. I think I did not overlap with AUSA Cecilia Vogel.
AUSA Vogel: We never met.
Judge Cronan: I don't think I had a case with Mr. Mazurek.
Maruzek: I don't think so. But your face looks familiar.
Judge Cronan: Yours too... I see no reason I cannot preside over this. If you want to make a motion, please do so in 2 weeks.
Here @sdnylive for 11 am presser on indictment of #Nikola's Trevor Milton. Outside, Federal law enforcement with shotguns, by the MCC. Probably *not* for Milton. Threadette below
If you're a victim...
US Attorney Strauss points at a Nikola vehicle and says the company's staffers pushed it down a hill for an ad. "Milton tweeted a video of the car rolling down the hill."
