‘Getting a little spicy in there’: Trump’s election subversion hearing underway

A federal judge is holding a hearing in Washington, DC, to consider how to proceed with special counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case against Donald Trump. It is the first court hearing since the case was paused after the Supreme Court’s historic decision granting Trump partial immunity. Trump’s attorney John Lauro and Judge Tanya Chutkan are sparring over the timing of key filings in the case — and what the process should be for deciding the immunity issues. CNN’s Paula Reid reports. #CNN #News

Judge Tanya Chutkan and defense attorney John Lauro are going back and forth in court now.
“We are talking about the presidency of the United States, ” Lauro says.
“I am not talking about the presidency, ” Chutkan says. “I am talking about a four count indictment.
Finally a fair and just

I hope Judge Chutkan is as fed up with Trump's nonsense as I am. It's time, this is over.

Lying to the Court is not Dramatic it's Criminal Contempt

Just play the video of Trump saying that he feels like he had every right to interfere in the 2020 election and let the jury decide

[noellorenzana]

Judge Chutkan, stay the course. Stick to the law. Justice is blind.

I am a robber with a job interview in November and I ask the judge to postpone the trial till after the interview in November in case it influences the interviewers, thats reasonable, way to go!

I'm seeing Red and voting Blue
Save our democracy, Stop the Coup !

[midknight]

Trump: I’m not guilty of election interference
Also Trump: I’m perfectly allowed to interfere in the election I lost

[Arational]

The convicted felon should be held in custody so he can't do more damage.

[friedhalloumi]

It's mind boggling how much King Trump has stretched the American judicial system.

[ericb]

Judge is not playing, way to go Judge!

[johntresemer]

ludicrous for a Judge to do justice while having to go against an insane Supreme Court ruling of immunity for the defense.

[PeaceFan]

The #1 GOAL SHOULD BE to Hold trump ACCOUNTABLE for trying to OVERTHROW HIS OWN GOVERNMENT to STAY in Vote HARRIS/Walz to SAVE our DEMOCRACY!!!!

[jasonjohnson]

I thought Trump said he had every right to interfere in an election so why is he

[judyanderson]

Thank you judge chutkun for treating him as anyone else would be treated, it goes a long way to disproving a 2 tier system it only takes a judge with guts to do the job properly

[madelinemanor]

Trump for prison, guilty, guilty, guilty!

[jasonm]

Any discussion with pence about not certifying the election should not be considered under immunity because that was not part of the presidential duties.

[kennedyreid]

The idea that all "official" acts are "legal" and off limits is as crazy as it comes! CRAZY MADDNESS

[tce_productions]

If you got a felony you can’t get a good job or a gun but you can be president and have nuclear codes. Make that make sense

[mahamedabdi]

Swede here - To me it’s seems like most of the judges in lower courts are doing their absolute best to protect law and order. While SCOTUS is doing their best to undermining the constitution and the public trust.

Get out there and vote in November! The world needs a strong and free U.S.
