![From: Engoron To: [Trump's lawyers] RE: People v. Trump When | sent my straightfwd, narrow request for info about poss perjury by Allen Weisselberg in the subject case, | was not seeking to initiate a wide-ranging debate with counsel. However, your misleading response grossly mischaracterizes the letter that | wrote, and | feel compelled to respond. .. | have not taken, do not plan to take, and did not suggest or hint that | would take the Times article into consideration...However, if, tomorrow, Weisselberg publicly confesses to having committed perjury about a significant matter in the case before me, or if he pleads guilty to such perjury at any time before | issue my final decision, | will research and consider what the law allows...Indeed, Rule 3.3(a)(3) provides that “If a ...lawyer’s client...offered material evidence and the lawyer comes to know of its falsity, the lawyer shall take reasonable remedial measures, including, if necessary, disclosure to the tribunal.”..You and your co-counsel have been questioning my impartiality since the early days of this case, presumably because | sometimes rule against your clients. That whole approach is getting old. Your invocation of Cohen’s testimony and veracity is completely out of bounds. You have already submitted your post-trial briefs and made your final arguments. | am not reopening the case, but if someone pleads guilty to committing perjury in a case over which | am presiding, | want to know about it.
