The @NewYorkStateAG files an appellate brief seeking to affirm the order sending Trump and two of his adult children to depositions.

It opens by noting the investigation has “uncovered significant evidence” of misleading asset valuations for “more than a decade.”
NYAG’s office has interviewed more than 40 people since @MichaelCohen212’s congressional testimony sparked the investigation in 2019, she says.
Her office has collected “hundreds of thousands” of Trump Organization documents—and mind the footnote there.

She says that’s in spite of “serious lapses” in the company’s document preservation and production since it’s been under judicial supervision.
NYAG argues that the course of the investigation shows it wasn’t a “bad faith” effort to lend backdoor support to the parallel criminal probe it is now assisting.

As in other investigations, the organization’s senior principals are being interviewed “towards the end.”
Defending her refrain “no one is above the law” against allegations of bias, NYAG notes that’s not a polemical sentiment.

Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch said that in Trump v. Vance, she notes.

Good morning from New York.

Trump will be sentenced for 34 felonies at 9:30 am ET. He will appear by video and likely will face no criminal penalties. It could be over in an hour.

But the fight over its symbolism gives it historic weight. I’m covering it live. Image
Consider: Over the past week, Trump's lawyers filed hundreds of pages of high-pitched arguments in four courts, at every level of the NY judiciary and SCOTUS, in a failed bid to stop these proceedings.
Prosecutors and the judge fought just as tenaciously to complete this trial record.

BREAKING:

A federal judge grants sanctions against Rudy Giuliani for discovery violations.

The requested relief was an adverse inference moving the Georgia election workers he defamed closer to getting his $3.5M Palm Beach condo.

Judge Liman is reciting his ruling and its scope now.
Earlier today, Giuliani's lawyer described adverse inferences as the "death penalty" for the case.

Liman granted adverse inferences, not yet specified.

So far, the Trump appointee slammed Giuliani's "blithe disregard" for the court's holding and "preposterous" conduct.
Liman quotes then-10th Circuit Judge Gorsuch's comments against Giuliani:

"Discovery is not supposed to be a shell game, where the hidden ball is moved round and round and only revealed after so many false guesses are made and so much money is squandered."

Rudy Giuliani is in federal court now.

He was order to appear after the Georgia election workers he defamed say he "secreted away" assets from his N.Y. apartment — and reportedly went to Trump's polling station in a Mercedes convertible ordered to be turned over to them. Image
Image
The hearing has begun.

Attorney for Giuliani: Ken Caruso.

For Ga. election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman: Aaron Nathan
Nathan:

Giuliani disclosed new bank accounts opened in July 2024.

On Aug. 30, Giuliani and his associates opened up a new entity: Standard USA LLC, over which he has +80% ownership interest.

"Suffice it to say, it's troubling that we learned about it on Monday for the first time."

A Georgia judge has VOIDED several rules passed by the GOP-dominated State Election Board.

The Georgia GOP reportedly plans to appeal, per @Bluestein.

I'll break down the now-stricken rules in a thread below, summarizing the ruling linked here. 🔗 assets.aclu.org/live/uploads/2…
1) 183-1-12-.02(c.2):

This rule would have allowed county board members to conduct a "reasonable inquiry" of election results, an undefined power they previously never had and was the purview of the courts.

Background here. justsecurity.org/100005/electio…
2) 183-1-12-.12:

The so-called "examination rule," granting county board members access to "all election related documentation."

That and the reasonable inquiry rule are both challenged in a still-pending lawsuit before another judge.

Good morning from Washington, D.C.

After a long hiatus, Trump’s election subversion case is slated for another status conference.

The scene outside the courthouse this morning.

I’ll cover the proceedings live at 10 a.m. ET. Image
"All rise."

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan takes the bench.

Proceedings are about to begin.
For the gov't: Prosecutor Thomas Windom
For the defense: John Lauro

Judge Chutkan: "It's been almost a year. You look rested, Mr. Lauro."

Lauro cracks that life seemed "meaningless" without seeing the judge.

Chutkan: (laughter) "Enjoy it while it lasts!"
