Finally.
$9k is a very small price to pay for the privilege of being an asshole.
Hope that the court requires a cashier’s check by COB.
9 times is willful. Lock him up.
“impose an incarceratory punishment” – who ELI5’d that for Trump? “If you piss off the judge any more, he will throw you in jail.”
We all know that there’s a very good chance that he’ll post or say something violating the gag order by the end of the day today. Certainly by the end of the week.
His next rant likely against the judge for this fine.
Proxy trump and VP hopeful attempting to gum up the works for points…
Stefanik, the House GOP conference chair and a close Trump ally, filed the complaint with the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility, arguing that Smith is trying to “rush” Trump’s federal election subversion case.

My understanding is that Smith was trying to get this trial done before the election specifically to avoid it lingering into the 60 day pre-election period.
It’s Trump who’s trying to drag it out as long as he can in hopes of running out the clock, getting back into office, and quashing the case.
this bit makes me wonder
Notably, the defense’s position isn’t that the payoffs never happened, or that Trump didn’t work with Pecker to bury them. The defense’s position is that this is perfectly legal and done by celebrities all the time to avoid embarrassment
does the enquirer make money through circulation, or from what seems to be legalized blackmail?
See, this is the problem with this trial being called “the hush money case”-it isn’t about the payment, but about the fact that it was made out of campaign funding and then they falsified the records of the payment. It’s illegal to use campaign funds like that, and screwing with the accounting to cover it up is a real no-no. If he had (gasp!) just paid out of his own funds this would never have been a problem for him. His own instinct to weasel out of using his own money is why there is a court case now.
He does, of course, also plan to prosecute them if he does get immunity, because laws apply to who he says they apply to.
Hard to keep track but here’s a new one.
In most years “a would-be President’s surrogate had an affair with the campaign’s married chief spokesperson, got pregnant, then got fired from the transition team due to said pregancy” would have been a pretty memorable scandal but I’d honestly forgotten all about it after everything else that’s happened since 2016.
She’s apparently representing herself so it’s all the more surprising that a high-powered law firm would decide they can’t see the case through to the end.
This.
Asking the legalmancers in the house: Does this mean the case is likely open-and-shut and should not have gone to trial?
She’s a lawyer herself rather than a layperson, but still.
IANAL, but usually their request to withdraw would mean they have some kind of conflict-of-interest, but then that would be made clear in their motion.
I suppose it could be as Delgado claims - that they are attempting to withdraw in order to at least partially avoid discovery in order to help T**** (I mean, they’ve managed to outlast many, many other firms in representing him, and that’s not an accident) - but it seems like that move would end up backfiring in just such a Streisand moment as this.
Maybe someone from the campaign literally or figuratively fucked over someone from the law firm?
“The primary reason for the Firm’s motion is due to an irreparable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship between the Firm and the Campaign,” he wrote.
