Judge Refuses to Punish Michael Cohen for Alleged Perjury and AI-Generated Legal Filing

A federal judge refused to shorten Michael Cohen's post-prison monitoring, criticizing him for "perjury" during Trump's bank fraud trial and undermining his credibility as a witness. The judge's order raises questions about Cohen's trustworthiness as the lead witness for the Manhattan District Attorney just weeks before Trump's first criminal trial in New York City. Cohen's attempt to distance himself from past crimes backfired, leading the judge to conclude that he either lied at his guilty plea hearing or during the recent trial. The judge's decision is likely to be used by Trump's legal team to challenge Cohen's reliability as a witness in the upcoming trial.

Trump's Failed Courtroom Tactics and Credibility Crisis Exposed by NY Judge

The New York Attorney General's office criticizes Donald Trump and his defense lawyers for repeatedly requesting a "directed verdict" in his bank fraud trial, a legal maneuver that declares outright victory and immediately ends the case. The requests, which are rarely granted, have been deemed as desperate and political stunts. The evidence presented during the trial has only strengthened the case against Trump, who is accused of lying on financial statements to obtain loans and insurance policies. The judge has consistently denied these requests and is expected to do so again. The trial will resume in January, and the judge will determine the punishment for Trump and his co-defendants.

Trump's Legal Team's Desperate Attempts and Clueless Moments in Fraud Trial

Donald Trump's defense lawyers in his bank fraud trial have repeatedly made preposterous legal maneuvers, including requesting a "directed verdict" three times, a longshot request that almost never works. Legal experts and former judges are baffled by these tactics, with one retired judge stating that she couldn't remember granting such a request in her 35 years on the bench. Trump's lawyers have also made snide remarks about the judge and launched personal attacks against a law clerk, leading to a gag order being imposed. The trial, brought by the New York Attorney General, is nearing its end, and Trump's legal team's repeated attempts to have the case dismissed have left scholars and observers perplexed.

Trump's Legal Troubles Intensify as New York Judge Takes Aim

Donald Trump violated a court's gag order by refusing to take down a post attacking the law clerk of the judge overseeing his bank fraud trial in New York. Lawyers on both sides have been warned that serious sanctions could be imposed. The issue will be addressed in court, as Trump continues to escalate his aggression towards Justice Arthur F. Engoron and his clerk, Allison Greenfield. The judge had previously warned Trump to never repeat such actions and ordered him to remove the attack. While Trump's team deleted the post from his Truth Social network, they failed to remove it from his website, leading to the possibility of serious consequences.

Trump's Legal Battles: From Bank Fraud Trial to Trial Tantrums

Lawyers on both sides of Donald Trump's bank fraud trial in New York have been notified that the issue of Trump's violation of the court's gag order will be addressed in court.

The judge has previously warned Trump's lawyers of serious sanctions for failing to abide by the gag order.

"Trump's Online Rage Takes Center Stage in the Courtroom"

Former President Donald Trump, who is currently facing a bank fraud trial, displayed increasing frustration and anger during the third day of proceedings. Trump complained about the lack of a jury and expressed annoyance at not being able to hear the witness's testimony. The trial has revealed intimate details of Trump's personal finances, many of which have been deemed fictitious. Trump's real estate empire is at risk of being taken away, and New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking to empty his bank accounts and remove him from the corporate world. Despite being ordered to stop launching personal attacks against the judge's staff, Trump continued to criticize James and accuse her of "election interference."
