Its very significant. The weight of resources are no longer in your favor, i dont care how much money you necessarily have. What theyre doing now is likely expected a not guilty plea where he will formally tell the court he has notice of all the charges against him, and they will set some date in the future in terms of when he will have to either have discovery provided to him, there likely is not going to be a Motion Schedule for the things that you would argue about what would come into evidence, thats going to be longer down the road. But the notion of a rap sheet is so significant with these different indictments, particularly because of this reason normally if somebody has charges against them, trials in the same vicinity, youre talking about maybe if they are convicted theyre going to run concurrent sentences, meaning this one will run on top of the other and the other. Its not going to be youll serve five years for this one, then ten years for another, five for the next. It will
from our correspondents and sources inside the courtroom of donald trump, the 45th president of the united states, being advised of his rights. hearing the specific charges that the indictment lays out, and also being told of the maximum penalties for each of those charges. anderson? thank you so much. back with the team here in new york. karen, it does seem like any other arraignment, and yet of course it is not. the fact that evan corcoran is there, he s an integral part, testifying against i guess would testify against the former president in the documents case, no? yeah. it s evan corcoran was one of trump s lawyers who i think was so concerned with what trump was asking him that he took really detailed notes of what trump s facial expressions were telling him to pluck out a document that might be wrong exactly. and showing the gestures he was
a lot different. he sat with his hands clasped. he appeared displeased about something. there was something that the pretrial services official who was in the courtroom handed papers to his attorneys, to the justice department attorneys there, tom windham and john lauro, on mr. trump s side. and then they began discussing whatever it is in perhaps the bail package, that s typically the paperwork that he is handed. and then he is signing it. there was something in that paperwork that appears appeared to displease the former president because he had a couple of seemed to be heated conversation with todd blanch, seated to his right. the former president mostly looked straight ahead. he looked around the room. there were a few times where he and tom windham sorry, he and jack smith looked at each other. it was absolutely more jack
obviously evan corcoran, he s a former assistant u.s. attorney, has worked inside here. he also reported steve bannon. most notably is a witness against trump in the documents case. he is the attorney that trump, according to the indictment, tried to mislead when it came to whether or not where the documents were placed, he had notes that he took on his phone about interactions he had with trump about plucking documents out that trump thought were bad ones. and he had to go and attorney/client privilege was pierced and speak to jack smith s investigators in that case. that s separate obviously than the reason why trump is in the courtroom today. it s notable that he is in there today. he has not yet entered his name on this case from what we have seen in the court filings, but he is in the back of the room. that means he s not at the counsel s table with trump and john lauro and todd blanch. but it is notable that he is in the room. also the fact that donald trump and jack smith are si
this trial to move quickly, set the next hearing date for august 28th. realistically, do you think this trial will commence and be over before election day? i do. i think this trial doesn t have the procedural complexities of classified information and the other things that are an issue in the florida stolen documents case. and i do think that this judge was signaling this magistrate judge had talked to the presiding judge, chutkan, over this case. and i think all indications are that they wanted to move this thing more quickly. she s going to hear from donald trump s lawyers on the 28th, or i think there s going to be a brief filed even before that. for why there should be some delay. but there s no argument for much delay here. certainly not something past decide say of this year. trump s lawyers have been signaling that, well, it s been 2 1/2 years that the prosecution s gotten to investigate, so we should get 2 1/2 years also.
