Good morning from New York.

Reporting inside Manhattan Criminal Court for the next hearing in the case of ex-Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg and the Trump entities.

Covering the proceedings live, @lawcrimenews.

Preview lawandcrime.com/high-profile/a… Image
Press and public are now allowed inside the courtroom. Proceedings should begin shortly.
Weisselberg's lawyer:

“We have strong reason to believe there could be more indictments coming.”
This was primarily a scheduling hearing. The lawyer mentioned that possibility in an effort to delay. Judge granted a 120-day adjournment.

Trial will likely be August or September 2022.
Put another way, shortly before the midterm elections.
Round up of what happened, closing the loop on this thread.

Good morning.

Arraignment in the federal civil rights cases against Derek Chauvin and the three other officers with him on the day of George Floyd's death is beginning.

I'll be covering virtually for @LawCrimeNews.

ICYMI: Story on the indictment lawandcrime.com/live-trials/li…
Magistrate Judge Leung presides.

DOJ's lawyers are Manda Sertich and Samantha Trepel.

Eric Nelson reps Derek Chauvin, who confirmed his *virtual* presence through a static-filled feed.

Other officers are appearing through counsel as well.
All of the defendants consent to proceeding virtually via video, given the COVID-19 pandemic.

New order in Ghislaine Maxwell's case:

"Feds Must Disclose ‘Identities of Any Unnamed Co-Conspirators’ to Ghislaine Maxwell, Trial Judge Rules"

Developing story, @LawCrimeNews lawandcrime.com/high-profile/f…
As the hed suggests, the order is about disclosing the identities to the defense.

The story and screenshot further clarify that the identities are limited to those that prosecutors plan to refer to at Maxwell's trial in November.
This could be a rather short list:

Prosecutors say they currently plan to refer to co-conspirator statements by two people—but that could change.

That hedge is one of the grounds Judge Nathan ruled against prosecutors.

There's another very interesting part of the order.

Judge Lamberth just accepted Jacob Chansley's guilty plea.

Developing story. Hearing ongoing.

"Horned, Furred, and Face-Painted ‘Shaman’ of the U.S. Capitol Siege Pleads Guilty in Federal Court" lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol-br… via @lawcrimenews
Arguments over pre-sentencing release continue:

Despite saying Chansley's psych eval showed him competent, Watkins insists that it also revealed mental health issues warranting release.

"I want to get him healed and on the road to get him further healed."
Judge Lamberth said he'll take the pre-sentencing release issue under advisement.
