☆ Hear the tapes: DA's theory of Trump as the hush-money mastermind takes a hit in newly-released defense recordings
  + stars: | 2024-05-03 | by ( Laura Italiano | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Defense tapes played in court Thursday have been posted to SoundCloud by Law360. They are recordings of 2018 phone calls between the two lawyers who struck the 2016 hush-money deal. They suggest an alternate reality to the DA's — where Trump is more victim than mastermind. Davidson's surmise — that Cohen was likely taping him at the time — makes a pair of newly-released defense tapes all the more compelling and perplexing. AdvertisementAnd while Colangelo told jurors that prosecutors will prove Trump "orchestrated" an election-influencing hush-money conspiracy, the charges do not require proof of who played whom.

☆ Texas federal court district rebuffs effort to curb ‘judge-shopping’ tactic
  + stars: | 2024-04-01 | by ( Tierney Sneed | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
Judge-shopping is the practice of strategically filing cases in courthouses where the lawsuits are almost guaranteed to be heard by judges perceived to be sympathetic to the litigants. Texas has other US district courts with single-judge divisions, in addition to Amarillo, where challenges to the Biden administration agenda are frequently funneled through. The Judicial Conference announced after an early March meeting that it was seeking to curb the practice of judge-shopping with the new case assignment policy. The announcement prompted blowback from Republican senators, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who argued that any mandated policy would run afoul of a statute passed by Congress that gives each district court the discretion to design its case assignment protocols. When the Judicial Conference released the formal guidance days later, it indicated that the districtwide assignment policy was recommended, but optional.

☆ Donald Trump spent over $52 million in PAC donor money on legal fees last year. Here's where it all went.
  + stars: | 2024-02-13 | by ( Jacob Shamsian | Narimes Parakul | Andy Kiersz | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +19 min
The vast majority — nearly $40 million — went to law firms working on his personal legal problems. But significant portions of their donations went to law firms defending Trump in civil cases involving his real-estate empire and its top executives, including Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump. Only about $861,000 was spent on law firms working exclusively on political issues. Where there were gaps, we contacted law firms and individual lawyers who received money from the PACs. In 2021 and 2022 combined, Trump spent $16 million on legal fees through the Save America PAC.

☆ Trump attacked her as a 'co-judge;' now NY law clerk Allison Greenfield is on her way to becoming an actual judge

Allison Greenfield, principal law clerk in Trump's NY fraud case, is hoping to be elected judge. AdvertisementDonald Trump has attacked her as a biased "co-judge—" claiming she secretly runs the show at his New York civil fraud trial — but now principal law clerk Allison Greenfield is well on her way to becoming a judge in her own right. Last week, Greenfield cleared the biggest hurdle to the Manhattan civil judgeship she seeks, when local Democratic party leaders rated her "most highly qualified." "The trial clerk in Trump's civil fraud trial, Allison Greenfield, has been viciously targeted by the MAGA crowd with vile rhetoric and death threats," Levine wrote. Advertisement"When the judge speaks, you have to stop speaking," Greenfield told Trump attorney Alina Habba early on, during a 2022 pretrial hearing.

Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) walks to the Senate floor for a procedural vote at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, U.S. September 20, 2023. New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez has tapped Abbe Lowell, the same attorney defending Hunter Biden against his tax and firearm charges, to represent him in his federal bribery case, a spokesperson for the prosecutors said. The Democratic senator also hired Lowell when he was charged in 2015 for allegedly accepting illegal gifts from a Florida ophthalmologist. Grimes, Barrack and others had been charged with secretly acting as foreign agents for the United Arab Emirates. Lowell has also represented Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and former advisor.

☆ A Blockbuster-era video law is being used to ding big-name brands like General Mills, Geico, and Chick-Fil-A with privacy lawsuits
  + stars: | 2023-09-07 | by ( Ryan Joe | Lara O'Reilly | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Brands like Chick-Fil-A and Geico are being accused of violating 1980s privacy law the VPPA. Broadcasters have long been wary of running afoul of a 1988 privacy law called the Video Privacy Protection Act that went into effect after the video rental history of then-Supreme Court nominee Judge Robert Bork was leaked to a newspaper. Since November last year, brands as diverse as Hallmark, Folgers, Mattel, Chick-Fil-A, General Mills, Mars, La-Z-Boy, Geico, and Fossil have faced lawsuits accusing them of VPPA violations. But these dismissals don't completely neutralize the threat of VPPA lawsuits. At least 70 VPPA class action lawsuits have been filed in the past year, according to Bloomberg Law.

Wright then filed a defamation suit against the former students, seeking $108 million in damages. Reuters/ReutersUltimately, Depp won $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages in his defamation case against Heard. And juries appear to be more receptive to ruling on behalf of defamation claimants, especially after big wins in cases like Depp's, Lovell told Insider. "By showing he's going through the legal system and going after them for $108 million dollars, it makes a statement," Lovell said about Wright's legal strategy. "These cases are rarely about monetary damages and are more often a vehicle to repair a reputation," Pearson told Insider.

☆ Trump's Tuesday arraignment won't be broadcast live, judge rules, after Trump's team argued that allowing cameras would cause too much chaos

The arraignment of Donald Trump on Tuesday will not be broadcast live, a judge ruled. Trump's lawyers argued in a Monday letter to Merchan that he should deny the request by news outlets to allow cameras in the courtroom for Trump's Manhattan arraignment on Tuesday. Trump's attorneys also asked that Merchan to take security concerns into account. "As Your Honor is well-aware, this case presents extraordinary security concerns (including Secret Service-related concerns) and we submit that any video or photography of the proceedings will only heighten these serious concerns," Trump's attorneys wrote. Mr. Trump's arraignment has generated unparalleled public interest and media attention," Merchan wrote.
☆ The second day of Tesla's racial bias trial included testimony from a former worker who said he found feces on a factory cart

It was part of a retrial for an ex-contractor who filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against Tesla. Wheeler was one of a handful of former Tesla workers that testified on Tuesday regarding their experience as Black workers at Tesla's Fremont factory. Wheeler said that the incident occurred one evening during his night shift at the factory after he took a 30-minute break. Wheeler had testified about the alleged incident in the initial trial in 2021. His complaints echo similar lawsuits from other Tesla factory workers.
☆ Whole Foods must pay $300,000 over accusations that a system meant to track productivity captured warehouse workers' voices without their consent
  + stars: | 2023-01-06 | by ( Alex Bitter | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Workers at an Illinois warehouse had to record their voices in a system that directed their work. At Whole Foods warehouses, employees are given a headset that they wear while at work. Using biometric data is just one way that some employers, including many retail companies, track and guide workers' productivity. Amazon warehouse workers have been tracked by the amount of time they spend doing things other than working, such as going to the bathroom. Do you work in a warehouse operated by Whole Foods or another retailer and use voice technology to do your job?
