☆ Justice Dept. Presses Local Courts to Reduce Fines
  + stars: | 2023-04-20 | by ( Glenn Thrush | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The Justice Department’s third-highest-ranking official, Vanita Gupta, informed local judges and juvenile courts on Thursday that imposing fines and fees without accounting for a person’s financial status violated constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment. Doing so “may erode trust between local governments and their constituents, increase recidivism, undermine rehabilitation and successful re-entry, and generate little or no net revenue,” Ms. Gupta, the associate attorney general, wrote in a letter. A Justice Department investigation did not result in federal charges against the officer involved. The policy Ms. Gupta outlined was first enacted during the Obama administration, when she led the Justice Department’s civil rights division. It was revoked under Attorney General Jeff Sessions in 2017, but a handful of states, including several controlled by Republicans, have taken steps to reduce the practice.

WASHINGTON — Jack Teixeira, a Massachusetts Air National Guardsman accused of posting classified documents about the war in Ukraine on social media, is expected to appear in a Massachusetts federal court on Thursday, hours after the government said in a memo that he continued to be a national security risk. The hearing for Airman Teixeira, who was arrested April 13 on two separate counts related to the unauthorized handling and publication of classified materials, had been scheduled for federal court in Boston earlier this month. But his lawyer, Brendan Kelley, requested more time to address the government’s arguments, and the magistrate judge, David. Prosecutors often reveal new details of their case at detention hearings, but only enough information to argue that the defendant is a potential flight risk. The information disclosed late Wednesday was an exception — it sought to portray Airman Teixeira as violent and racist as well as an unpredictable threat.

☆ Trump paying a $3 million lawyer retainer fee — maybe the biggest he's ever paid — shows he knows how much legal trouble he's in, NYT reporter says

The New York Times reported Trump paid a $3 million lawyer retainer fee for the Mar-a-Lago case. Reporter Maggie Haberman said the high amount shows that Trump understands the position he's in. In addition to his time in politics, the book rehashes many legal issues Trump has faced going back decades. During an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, Haberman was asked if she thinks Trump understands the legal jeopardy he may be facing. Two sources told the Times Trump paid the lawyer $3 million, which the outlet described as "unusually high."
