Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan suggested that former Trump administration national security adviser Michael Flynn could have been charged with treason during a fiery tirade at the three-star general’s sentencing
Flynn admitted to Judge Emmet Sullivan in a Washington courtroom on Tuesday that he knew it was a crime when he lied to the FBI in January 2017.
And in an emotional statement in a New York courtroom Wednesday, Cohen blamed his actions on a “blind loyalty” to the president that he said “led me to choose a path of darkness over light.”
A sentencing hearing for Wolfe on a charge of lying to the FBI is set for a Washington courtroom on Dec. 20 — a year after Wolfe left his job — and he plans to address the judge.
Paul’s lawyer asked that Boucher be questioned in the courtroom rather than a conference room, which is more typical for a deposition.
Harris, a former prosecutor, was very much back in a courtroom.
“I’m a pro-law judge and I’ve ruled for parties based on whether they have the law on their side,” he told Grassley.
His friends still call him “judge,” and so does the placard outside his office.
The jury in the tax evasion and bank loan fraud trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort appears stuck on one count, they indicated Tuesday in a note to the judge around 11 a.m.
Manafort faces up to 80 years in prison pending a sentencing hearing with Judge T.S. Ellis III. Ellis did not set a date for that hearing.
Judge T.S. Ellis III set Room 900 at the Albert V. Bryan courthouse in Alexandria, Va., abuzz just before 5 p.m.
After a series of “sidebar” conversations between attorneys from both sides and the Judge T.S. Ellis III, along with two recesses, Ellis finally brought the jury in shortly after 11 a.m.
But, as Asonye told the judge, a court transcript shows that Ellis explicitly allowed Welch to sit in on the trial.
Rick Gates, Manafort’s longtime deputy and the prosecution’s star witness, walked out of the courtroom late Wednesday morning after more than 10 hours of testimony that spanned three days.
The prosecution flashed a December 2011 email on the TV screens in the Alexandria, Virginia, courtroom Tuesday between Gates and Manafort about a wire transfer.
Gates, frequently pictured with a thick lumberjack beard at the height of his political power alongside Manafort, entered the courtroom at 4:15 p.m.
But Manafort’s connection to the Trump campaign, which he managed for five months in 2016, has filled the courtroom with reporters and the internet with readers.
Manafort showed up to the courtroom shortly after 9 a.m. lacking his usual tan and wearing a black suit, blue tie, and rimless reading glasses.
Among the reasons: This is a separation of powers fight to be settled politically, not in a courtroom.
He said, ‘I hate this job, I wish I was a judge.’ And people would give him money.”
