Is comes as officials in georgia are preparing for another potential indictment power the former president. The street around the federal courthouse in Fulton County, close. Barricades coming out. Up with Assassination Attempt on ukraines president get ahead, but we learned about the plot and the russian woman allegedly at the center of it all. Were following major developing stories and many more, coming in right here to cnn news central. Defense attorneys for former President Trump have left now than two hours left to respond to my proposed evidence rules in the Election Interference Case. The Special Counsel wants to place restrictions on how much trump, if at all, tend can discuss sensitive evidence revealed in discovery. Trumps Defense Attorneys say the limits would violate his First Amendment rights and were also following the development and trump other fede
Prosecutions. then that doesn t work. bring it back. cite him for contempt if it s a clear violation. you could wind up, there could be sanctions for that. you could wind up revoking bail. there s a whole continuum. given the collision here between a campaign on the one hand and these requirements on the other, i would imagine that a judge is going to go through that c continuum and not throw him in prison. throw him in jail, rather, immediately after he crosses the line. but you know, there is a line that is to be crossed here and trump has shown himself if he hasn t crossed the line, he s ser certainly walked awfully close to it. it s such an interesting dilemma. you re not going to put him in jail. you can fine him. a contempt citation is a badge of honor for this guy. that s what he s masterfully done in all this. there was an interesting piece tog
It sarcastically, if you are out of money you could get a court appointed lawyer. there are great lawyers that are court appointed. but if this is a stall tactic it is not going to work. you know, as part of the conditions for the former president, barred from intimidating witnesses or otherwise instruction in cases of obstructing on social media, what are the options actually available to a judge if he were to violate that agreement? he certainly will push it to the line or beyond, what can a judge really do? well, there is a range of options, and i am adamant that any judge would tread lightly here. so, one option is, you bring him into court and you say you did x, it violated my rule, do not do it again. to some degree we saw this in the roger stone prosecution. then that doesn t work, to bring it back again, and then you can cite him for contempt if it is a clear violation, you can cite him for contempt. you could wind up, there could be sanctions for that. you could wind up re
You look like you violated my order. don t do it again. they can also post consequences. the consequences and sanctions could involve, for instance, revoking bail, revoking conditions of release, putting and imprisoning a criminal defendant. i don t think we re at that point yet, but that is something that a judge can do if she is faced with significant recalcitrance on the part of the defendant who civilly refuses to obey court orders. trump has also claims he s not going to get a fair trial in d.c. he wants a venue change . important to note, his lawyers have not formally made that request, but do you think, purely from their perspective, that they should? well, look. make a request, sure. can it be granted? no. judges very rarely grant these venue change requests. the constitution provides trials will occur in the jurisdiction which the alleged crime was committed to i think what the trump defense team should be focusing on here is,
The sheriffs are clearing the court, as i said. we will not see cosby get handcuffed. you can see andrea constand hugging janice dickinson, another woman who said she was a victim of bill cosby. we re going to see if andrea constand decides to talk to reporters about this moment. she s now leaving, it looks like, the courthouse. the judge told bill cosby and his defense lawyers that this is a serious crime, a sexual crime. he says he could quite be a danger to the community. the judge will revisit if a post-sentence motion is filed. we re going to find out if that means bill cosby will be caugwag out of this courtroom and we ll get a glance at him before he moves on to jail. i believe revoking bail means he s going to jail, right, danny? that s right. revoking bail means he s going to go directly to jail. he won t pass go. he will shed all his belongings.
