Elon Musk left Twitter in such disarray last year, that DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith couldn't even get a subpoena through for his Trump investigation.

There is a shocking amount of incompetence on display here—now that it's no longer happening in secret. Image
DOJ investigators wanted Twitter to turn over @realDonaldTrump account data—without telling him.

Elon Musk, leaning into his #Twitterfiles argument and waving the banner of the First Amendment, had Twitter's lawyers refuse to comply. Image
@realDonaldTrump A federal judge gave Twitter a single day to turn stuff over.

The company did it, late mind you—but screwed that up too. Image
@realDonaldTrump Jack Smith really is assertive about protecting the FBI agents working on this Trump investigation.

On June 20, he was willing to let Trump know about the Twitter records he grabbed—as long as the former president wouldn't know the name of the lead FBI agent. Image
@realDonaldTrump Seems like the special counsel found whatever he was looking for. This was a one-time ask. Image
@realDonaldTrump Is Judge Cannon down in Florida taking notes?

(She recently revealed the existence of a grand jury Trump investigation.)

It's a frigid morning in NYC, where journalists wait in line to witness a judge finally sentence Donald Trump for his crimes.

Meanwhile, it's cool and sunny down in South Florida, where Trump can patch into the hearing from home.

Follow me ⁦@NOTUSreports⁩ for updates. Image
I will be doing live reporting from my account at blue sky.

Prosecutors walked into the courtroom at 9:23. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg Jr. just entered as well.

Four courtroom TVs say "standby," as Trump is expected to patch in shortly.

Donald Trump's lawyers just warned Judge Chutkan in DC that if she releases Jack Smith's appendix to his recent report, they'll consider "litigation options."

Like, suing the judge? Or Smith? Or seeking dismissal of the entire case based on that release? Image
Image
It's notable that the judge had to order the court clerk to put this on the public docket.

Trump's lawyers were directed to file this under seal. It seems like they did. But the judge must have thought, there's nothing secret here.
Trump's lawyers had until today to file, under seal, any objections to Smith's proposed redacted appendix to his massive report.

Instead of going line-by-line, Trump's team instead just said, NOPE. STOP IT ALL.

Chutkan is now in a position to just publish the appendix as-is.

I'm outside the Manhattan appellate courthouse, where Donald Trump will try to overturn his half billion dollar bank fraud judgment.

My dispatches here and ⁦@NOTUSreports⁩. Image
The inscription outside the courthouse says, "the written law is the traditional law."

Today's question is whether the law on the books, New York Executive Law § 63(12), can be leveraged against a businessman who lied about his wealth. Image
Trump's lawyers are about to speak. First up is Dean John Sauer, who's represented the former president at the Supreme Court.

In a shocking and confounding move, New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has decided to delay Donald Trump's sentencing in Manhattan until after the November 5 election.

Here's why that is rife with problems.

(thread)

nycourts.gov/LegacyPDFS/pre…
Merchan writes: "Unfortunately, we are now at a place and time that is fraught with complexities rendering the requirements of a sentencing hearing, should one be necessary, difficult to execute."

The judge shows that he is doubting whether Trump should even be sentenced.
A 12-person jury of everyday New Yorkers combed through evidence for nearly two months. They spent days thinking about whether Trump actually faked business documents. They unanimously decided he lied. They convicted him.

Now the judge is hitting the breaks. Let's explore that.

I'm in DC federal court for Donald Trump's hearing--the first since Jack Smith's 2020 election interference case was put on hold in December 2023.

Catch my dispatches here. I'll be writing for ⁦@NOTUSreports⁩. Image
@NOTUSreports Remember, this is the first time Judge Chutkan speaks up since the Supreme Court overturned her decision.

She had said Trump couldn't claim presidential immunity. SCOTUS gave it to him for "official acts."

Potential icy start to this morning's proceedings...
@NOTUSreports After Trump lawyer John Lauro introduces himself, Chutkan starts with humor.

"It’s been almost a year, you look well rested…" she begins.

"Life is almost meaningless without seeing you," he jabs.

"Enjoy it while it lasts," she replies.

It's the 21st day of trial during the 22nd week of the year.

Manhattan's roads are brilliant as the sunlight pierces the city's east-west streets at a perfect angle.

Donald Trump is back in court on the day jurors could begin to decide his fate.

I'm here for @thedailybeast. Image
@thedailybeast After taking a full week off for the Memorial Day holiday, the trial is back on.

Defense lawyers and prosecutors will take turns delivering their last messages to jurors.
@thedailybeast DA Alvin Bragg walks in and takes a seat on the right side of the courtroom behind his prosecutors.

Donald Trump struts in a minute later, flanked by a dozen of his advisers and supporters. This time the entourage includes one of his daughters, Tiffany Trump.
