AUSA: Did Mr. Milton comply with your social media policy?
Brad Bondi: Objection!
Judge Ramos: Overruled.
Stephanie Anzallag: No, he did not.
AUSA: Did you suggest that Mr. Milton do the podcasts along with CEO Mark Russell.
Anzallag: Yes. But Trevor said he preferred to do it solo.
AUSA: Are you aware of Tesla Charts?
Anzallag: Yes, a pro-Tesla podcast. Trevor told us he wanted to do it.
AUSA: What is this?
Anzallag: Elizabeth Fretheim's list of more than a dozen problems in what Trevor said on Tesla Charts....
AUSA: No further questions for Ms. Anzallag at this time.
Judge Ramos: Jurors, we'll take a break.
Thread will continue. Watch this feed
Jury is back.
Judge Ramos: You heard about Nikola's internal social media policies. You may consider that, but I will be instructing you on the law at the end.
Milton's lawyer Brad Bondi. [Here he is out on Pearl Street:
Bondi: How much time did you spend with the government?
Anzallag: Two hours.
Bondi: In total?!?
Anzallag: No, per day.
Bondi: Would it surprise you to know, 15 hours? You created this document for the government?
Anzallag: From Google Analytics.
[After sidebar]
Bondi: So this says that Trevor was offering to do a live stream chat?
Anzallag: I'm not sure.
Bondi: You sent it to others. You were monitoring Mr. Milton's tweets, right?
Anzallag: I was. I was monitoring YouTube, too.
Bondi: Do you recall Trevor trying to delay his appearance on the Tesla Charts podcast so that he could prepare for it?
Anzallag: I do not.
Bondi: Does this refresh your recollection?
Anzallag: No.
Bondi: So here, the podcasters tell Nikola it is going live at noon, they will send you the link - and you, Stephanie, will link to it - right?
Anzallag: Yes.
They're back from break.
Bondi: So this calls Trevor's performance on Tesla Charts as "truly phenomenal," right?
Anzallag: It says that.
Bondi: Wouldn't you say this was an encouraging email?
Anzallag: It provided positive reinforcement.
Bondi: You've said, I don't remember. Were you told to day that on cross examination?
Anzallag: No.
Bondi: Did you meet with the lawyers for Nikola, Kirkland & Ellis? And Paul Weiss?
Anzallag: I'm not sure.
Bondi: No one told you to take down the Tesla Charts podcast, did they?
Anzallag: I don't think so
Bondi: And here you are, editing a promotion script for about the Badger [pick up truck sketch] for Heavy D of the Diesel Brothers on Discovery, right?
Anzallag: Yes

Sentencing in UN-linked fraud of Jeffrey Saint Clair. His lawyer just said, "There was real affiliation with the UM." Yeah: today's UN hosts, recruits and propagates many frauds: Ng, Ho/CEFC, Cary Yan, all the way to this censoring top innercitypress.com/sdny18igobitun…
At sentencing, "Those who paid money wrongly convinced themselves that good would be done." #UN [In DRC, UN is using public's money for UNV posts UN officials trade for sex; @AntonioGuterres won't answer, bans Press, covers up.]
It's ASA St Clair, of the "World Sports Alliance." Judge calls it a scheme to defraud, using the UN. [Note: UN Spox refused to answer written Press questions about this and other UN-linked frauds. Today's UN says, Public be damned.
