Stan Woodward, the Trump DOJ's No. 3 figure, wrote the legal brief defending the case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia against vindictive prosecution claims.
That in itself, Abrego's team says, is evidence of vindictive prosecution. #AlwaysReadtheFootnotes
Background https://t.co/FZ2h3tDUqu
In a footnote, Abrego's team reveals that the ex-Criminal Division chief attended the proffer of lead cooperating witness against their client before resigning the day of his indictment. #AlwaysReadTheFootnotes
@allrisenews For those raising questions about the order in light of SCOTUS reining in universal injunctions:
The judge blocked the dismantling of HHS under the Administrative Procedure Act.
Here's what SCOTUS wrote in its birthright citizenship ruling. #AlwaysReadTheFootnotes
Another key detail about that OGE filing footnote flagged by the prosecutor at the end of direct:
It stated, "The category of value would be $100,001 - $250,000 and the interest rate would be zero."
Those were Cohen's expenses before being grossed up. #AlwaysReadTheFootnotes
A notation of that 2018 OGE form explicitly mentions Cohen's "reimbursement" for unspecified "expenses."
Direct examination ends.

Trump's lawyers revealed their intention to renew their request to recuse the judge in a footnote of their latest filing. #AlwaysReadtheFootnotes
News
Trump's attorneys signal that they will try to renew their push to recuse the judge presiding over his NY criminal case.
He lost a recusal motion last August, after the state's judicial ethics committee backed the judge.
His lawyers must ask permission to try again.
Trump's lawyers answer no, and they point out in the footnote that the AP's coverage of it made the same assumption they did — that his attacks on the judge's clerk didn't appear to violate the order. #AlwaysReadtheFootnotes
They signal a First Amendment fight on the issue.
"[Trump], either directly or through counsel, has repeatedly stated publicly that the defense goal is to delay these proceedings, if possible, past the 2024 presidential election."

Once again, the DA casts blame here on Team Trump's "own inexplicable and strategic delay" — not the U.S. Attorney's office for SDNY, an "independent prosecutorial" entity operating in "good faith." #AlwaysReadtheFootnotes
In the classified documents case, Trump's lawyers cited the Hur report to argue that the former president is being selectively prosecuted.
Jack Smith cited it some 26 times to argue the opposite, such as in this footnote. #AlwaysReadTheFootnotes

In a footnote, Justice Engoron calls out Trump's legal team for impugning the court-appointed monitor after she released a scathing report about "errors" in the company's disclosures.
They recommended Judge Jones for the job, he notes. #AlwaysReadTheFootnotes
Following the adage #AlwaysReadTheFootnotes, @SollenbergerRC spotted a doozy in the court-appointed monitor’s letter to his civil fraud trial judge about “errors” in Trump’s financial info.
The letter dropped shortly before the $83.3M verdict against him.
NEW: A footnote tucked into a court letter suggests that Trump lied to the government for years about a mysterious $50 million loan that apparently never existed—a lie that tax experts said suggests potentially major tax evasion. ME @thedailybeast https://t.co/wq8fomPoYJ
Trial ends for the day in the middle of Jack Weisselberg's direct examination.
Background: The father-and-son relationship was briefly noted in a footnote of the ruling holding Trump liable for fraud. #AlwaysReadTheFootnotes
Story on the testimony TK, @TheMessenger
Jack Smith's prosecutors weigh in on Trump's campaign spox posting a video of him holding a Glock.
Trump "was caught potentially violating his conditions of release," they write.
#AlwaysReadTheFootnotes @TheMessenger https://t.co/f6xBdyKYE7
"The district court also found reason to believe that the former President would 'flee from prosecution.'"
— a footnote from the ruling about the search warrant on Trump's Twitter account

Notable in the special counsel's latest legal brief:
Prosecutors flagged another Trump social media post, this one attacking Mike Pence. #AlwaysReadTheFootnotes @TheMessenger https://t.co/bhcny1QS6t
What a footnote, right on the second page... #AlwaysReadTheFootnotes
"And for some, being the subject of a criminal investigation can, a la Rumpelstiltskin, be turned into golden political capital...."
Just In: Fulton County superior court judge Robert McBurney DENIES Trump’s efforts to block expected indictments in Fulton County and disqualify district attorney Fani Willis.

Manhattan DA's office just responded to Trump's bid to recuse the judge in his hush-money case.
In a footnote, the DA notes that Trump's denigrated the "whole New York Judicial System"—and argues he'd keep vetoing until he gets a "judge he likes." #AlwaysReadTheFootnotes
In denying Trump's request for a delay, the judge noted:
"Events happen during postponements. Sometimes they can make matters worse.”
The footnote that follows this quote rattles off Trump's legal peril. #AlwaysReadTheFootnotes
As @KlasfeldReports says, #AlwaysReadTheFootnotes, and footnote 3 does not disappoint. “Although some in the press have parroted such a belief, see, e.g. @KyleDCheney…”
