I wonder if his five months in Riker’s will change anything.

Kellyanne Conway apparently met with the Manhattan D.A. today. And lately, as her 1/6 testimony reflects, she's been calling it like she sees it.

Trump asks for the moon in NY attorney general fraud case, demanding more time despite strict warning from judge

  • Lawyers for Trump say they can't meet their deadlines in the NY attorney general's fraud lawsuit.
    They want six more months, despite a judge's prior warning that the trial date won't budge.
    AG Letitia James' lawsuit seeks to ban the Trump family and company from doing business in New York.
Lawyers for Donald Trump, his family, and his real-estate business said Friday that the fraud case against them is far too complicated for them to be ready for trial this year.

They are pushing back on a deadline in a massive lawsuit brought by New York attorney general Letitia James — a 200-page filing that seeks to drive the Trump Organization out of her state.

In new court papers, the Trump lawyers asked for six extra months to prepare for a bench trial currently scheduled for October 2. They also asked to triple the number of witnesses they can depose before the trial starts.

The request is the latest volley in a roiling pre-trial battle over the sprawling lawsuit — and is remarkable, given that the Manhattan judge who has presided over the case for three years recently warned that the trial date is set in stone.

"I am determined to start the case on time come hell or high water," New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron warned a roomful of lawyers in February, the last time the parties met in person.

Prosecutors Signal Criminal Charges for Trump Are Likely
The former president was told that he could appear before a Manhattan grand jury next week if he wishes to testify, a strong indication that an indictment could soon follow.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office recently signaled to Donald J. Trump’s lawyers that he could face criminal charges for his role in the payment of hush money to a porn star, the strongest indication yet that prosecutors are nearing an indictment of the former president, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.

The prosecutors offered Mr. Trump the chance to testify next week before the grand jury that has been hearing evidence in the potential case, the people said. Such offers almost always indicate an indictment is close; it would be unusual for the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, to notify a potential defendant without ultimately seeking charges against him.

In New York, potential defendants have the right to answer questions in the grand jury before they are indicted, but they rarely testify, and Mr. Trump is likely to decline the offer. His lawyers could also meet privately with the prosecutors in hopes of fending off criminal charges.

Any case would mark the first indictment of a former American president, and could upend the 2024 presidential race. It would also elevate Mr. Bragg to the national stage, though not without risk.

Prosecutors threaten new charges against Allen Weisselberg — unless he flips on Trump: report
Former Trump Organization financial chief already served 100 days in Rikers — now he may be charged with perjury

By TATYANA TANDANPOLIE
PUBLISHED MAY 19, 2023 1:27PM (EDT)

Manhattan District Attorney's office is considering pressing new charges against one of former President Donald Trump's longtime allies, 75-year-old Allen Weisselberg, including one for perjury, sources with knowledge of the matter told The New York Times.

The threat comes after D.A. Alvin Bragg unveiled an indictment of the former president in March, marking the newest effort in his campaign to persuade Weisselberg to testify against Trump.

The former Trump Organization chief financial officer, who was recently released from the Rikers Island jail complex, has refused to go against Trump, but prosecutors have warned his attorneys that they might bring a perjury charge against him if he declines to testify, two of the sources said.

According to the sources, the charge would pertain to comments he made under oath in a 2020 interview with the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is conducting her own civil investigation into Trump and his family business.

That year investigators, who questioned Weisselberg again last month for the ongoing probe, asked Weisselberg about glaring errors in Trump's financial statements, prompting James to sue them both in 2021 for overstating Trump's net worth by billions of dollars.

Court records show Weisselberg acknowledged the Trump Organization overestimated the value of Trump's penthouse by "give or take" $200 million, though it's unclear which parts of his testimony are of concern for prosecutors or how Bragg will prove he intentionally made a false statement.

Weisselberg, who worked for Trump for nearly 50 years, could be a valuable witness in several ways, The Times reported. His testimony could assist in Bragg's criminal case against the former president, which pertains to a hush money payment to an adult film star during his 2016 presidential campaign, as well as the civil investigation into Trump's statements about his finances that James' office is participating in.
