Per CNN, judge rules tfg can't talk to potential witnesses. I believe that includes Nauta.

I wonder what the actual order was. I doubt the judge could order Trump’s attorney not to talk to potential witnesses. He’s got to be able to mount a defense.

Concur; ordering the defendant not to do something happens; ordering the defendant's attorney also not to do something would be extraordinary.
Yes, there's the possibility the attorney will act as the defendant's agent, but that (in "usual" circumstances) is extremely rare, as the attorney would be looking at a raft of professional and possibly criminal liability if that happens.

You call that a fashion report?Through one of his attorneys, Trump, who was wearing a dark suit and classic red tie, entered a plea of “not guilty” and sat at quietly a table “with his hands folded,” [CBS' Scott] MacFarland reported.

Pathetic.
I think today is actually a tragic day, particularly for our country.

So what are the chances that an attorney paid (directly or indirectly) by Trump is going to advise his client, Nauta, that it is in Nauta's best interest to flip on Trump?
Just asking...

I listened to ABC reporting. Trump did not enter a plea - a not guilty plea was entered for him, according to the ABC reporter that was in the room. She described Trump as spending a large amount of the time in the courtroom sitting looking at the floor. Gone was his bravado. He basically never looked up until the judge entered the room and then he looked at the judge.
He is not allowed to directly talk to any witnesses. Of course, his attorneys can and will most likely take depositions, but Trump is not allowed to talk to witnesses. He is not allowed to talk to his codefendant, he can only communicate to Nauta via their lawyers. Holy crap.
I was thinking that Trump has no choice but to keep Nauta in his direct sight at all times because if Nauta decides it's in his best interest to take a plea deal (it IS in his best interest, IMO) then Trump is seriously toast. I bet Nauta knows many things that prosecutors don't yet know and may never know unless they get Nauta to flip. Nauta really truly should get his own private attorney that is guaranteed to give him advice that truly is in his own best interest. I hope he has a friend that cares enough about him to tell him to get an attorney that is not connected to Trump world.

Maybe bob or chancery will correct me, but I thought that depositions in criminal trials were the exception rather than the rule, and potential witnesses are deposed only when there is some need to preserve their testimony (like they have a terminal illness, for example), and only by order of the court after a showing of extraordinary circumstances.RVInit wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 4:04 pm I listened to ABC reporting.

I was fascinated by the ABC reporter's information. Apparently, his bravado did not enter the courtroom with him. I suspect that the seriousness of it probably hit him as he sat and stewed. He was brought in 15 minutes before the judge entered. He had to sit there and wait. And then, the judge referred to him as the "former President". Ouch.

That may be a procedural thing in federal court. In the military, the attorney always enters the plea.

TRUMP WILL BE RELEASED WITHOUT BOND
Trump will be released without having to pay a bond. He will not have to surrender his passport or restrict his personal travel. As the hearing continued after his not guilty plea was entered, Trump sat at the table scowling with his arms crossed.

TRUMP RODE TO COURT WITH HIS SON ERIC

DEMONSTRATORS FOR AND AGAINST TRUMP SQUABBLING
A small group of pro-Trump supporters and anti-Trump protesters were squabbling in front of Miami’s federal courthouse as they awaited the former president’s appearance Tuesday.
A man with “Trump sucks” spray-painted on his jacket and pants shouted at supporters of the former president as they passed by while a man held a homemade “Free Trump” banner behind others who shouted at him. Dozens of supporters wrapped themselves in Trump flags or campaign merchandise as they milled about near the courthouse.
The crowd included far-right internet personality Anthime Gionet, who served a two-month prison sentence for streaming live video while he stormed the U.S. Capitol with a mob of Trump supporters on Jan. 6, 2021.
Gionet, better known as “Baked Alaska,” was livestreaming video of his interactions with people around the courthouse — something the terms of Gionet’s probation don’t appear to prohibit.
Meanwhile, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, wearing a T-shirt with a police logo, toured the nearby media encampment and said he didn’t expect any disturbances.
“So far, so good,” Suarez said. “It’s still early, but the crowd seems to be under control and everyone respectful and peaceful. Let’s hope it remains that way.”
Suarez is considering a presidential run and has suggested he could make his intentions known during a speech Thursday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California.

One thing that I learned only relatively recently is that criminal defense lawyers hire investigators to interview witnesses, not only for the sake of efficiency, but to avoid the risk of becoming witnesses themselves. Dunno how strictly they isolate themselves from witnesses; I suppose it depends on lots of things.

Apex predators never do, when they have prey in sight....Per
@GrahamKates
, who was in the courtroom, Special Counsel Jack Smith closely watched Trump as Trump exited slowly at the end. He watched Trump glance at reporters sitting in the back. Smith never broke his stare at Trump, per Kates.
