Sanctions block Venezuela from funding Maduro’s U.S. defense, lawyer says

Maduro can’t pay for his U.S. legal defense because the Trump administration blocked Venezuela from funding his representation; Treasury’s OFAC had initially granted a license to cover defense costs on Jan. 9 but revoked it less than three hours later. Maduro’s lawyer, Barry Pollack, says he may seek court intervention to protect Maduro’s Sixth Amendment right to counsel as Maduro and his wife face narcotics and weapons charges in New York, with a March 17 hearing upcoming.

Defense Alleges DOJ's 'Inaccurate' Claims on Sam Bankman-Fried's Laptop Access

Attorneys for FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried have disputed the Department of Justice's claims regarding his access to defense material, stating that he lacks decent internet access and has not been provided with the level of computer access as previously stated. Bankman-Fried's defense team has argued that his Sixth Amendment rights are being violated and have requested his temporary release or increased computer access. The defense's claims were prompted by the DOJ's assertion that Bankman-Fried now has access to multiple hard drives, air-gapped and internet-enabled laptops. However, the defense argues that these arrangements are impractical and ineffective, hindering their ability to prepare for trial.

The Controversy Surrounding Bryan Kohberger's Gag Order.

A gag order in the case against Bryan Kohberger, accused of killing four Idaho college students, will remain in place while a judge considers arguments presented on Friday. Kohberger's lawyers and the prosecution believe the gag order will keep the upcoming trial fair and impartial by preventing the potential jury pool from entering the courtroom with a bias. However, a lack of information has led to misinformation about the case, an issue police faced even before Kohberger's arrest. The judge also heard arguments over whether cameras should be allowed in the courtroom for future proceedings.

Legal expert claims Bragg violated Trump's rights by withholding underlying crime information.

Legal experts suggest that New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg may have violated former President Trump's Sixth Amendment rights by refusing to disclose the underlying crime that Trump allegedly intended to conceal through his falsification of business records. Bragg claimed that he did not have to specify the crime, but legal analyst Gregg Jarrett argued that the indictment is facially defective and susceptible to a motion-to-dismiss. Trump faces criminal charges in New York and Georgia, as well as a civil suit in New York City.
