JUST IN: Judge #Cannon entering an Order denying #Trump's motion for a Franks hearing, but reserving ruling on the balance of his "Motion for Relief Relating to the Mar-a-lago Raid and Unlawful Piercing of Attorney-Client Privilege."
Cannon finds that Trump has not made the requisite showing that the search warrant affidavit contains "any material false statements or omissions." As such, he doesn't get a Franks hearing. #legal

“#Trump ally Steve #Bannon will stand trial beginning Dec. 9 on charges he defrauded donors to an online effort to raise money for a wall along the U.S. southern border.
During a brief hearing on Tuesday, prosecutors said they would take three to four days to present evidence. Defense attorneys expected their case to last two days.” #legal

“#JackSmith asked for additional time to settle how to proceed w #Trump’s #Jan6 prosecution, asking to bump back deadlines ignited when case returned to lower court..
👉🏼By requesting 3-wk delay in filing, Smith is likely to disappoint those who have called for him to ask for an evidentiary hearing with live witness testimony ahead of the election.
It also shows that Smith’s team is still grappling with the best path forward after #SCOTUS ruled Trump is immune..” #legal

Manhattan DA Bragg's team informs Justice Merchan that #Trump's renewed bid to transfer his case to federal court has been rejected — and says there's no need to delay his sentencing on that particular basis.
Note: This is separate from Trump’s other request for a delay, which the DA did not oppose — and the judge has not yet decided. #legal
“New York’s high court tossed out #Trump’s appeal of the gag order in his hush money criminal case Thursday.
The #GagOrder, which remains in partial effect ahead of Trump’s sentencing, bars the former president from making public remarks about prosecutors or their families, but has a carveout allowing remarks about Judge Juan Merchan and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg” #legal

Welcome, friends, to my grubby little corner of the internet. A corner so strewn with obscenity that the UK government has decided you must prove you’re a grown-up before you can access certain parts of it.
