Judge Merchan lifted parts of former President Trump's gag order in his hush money trial. This change comes as Judge Cannon heard arguments over excluding evidence in Trump's classified documents case. MSNBC's Katie Phang and former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirshner join Ana Cabrera to weigh in on Trump's legal woes.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon did something normal Thursday when she denied one of former President Donald Trump’s motions that never stood much of a chance of success. But she also continued her practice of ordering hearings that will at least further put off a trial in the classified documents case, which still has no trial date but plenty of other unresolved issues.
Another court previously found that the crime-fraud exception applied here, but Cannon said that she’s obliged to “make factual findings afresh” on the subject. The second issue involves the rule that warrants be sufficiently detailed to comply with the Fourth Amendment. Cannon wrote that “ambiguities” in an attachment to the warrant require a hearing.
