A federal judge has ordered #Trump admin ofcls involved in #ElonMusk’s “opaque” #DOGE to #testify under oath in one of the many sprawling lawsuits seeking to block DOGE’s access to sensitive govt databases.

US Dist Judge John Bates agreed Thurs that “very limited” efforts to question ofcls connected to DOGE would help clarify what exactly the group is doing & whether it poses the #risks to sensitive data that govt employees fear.

Hey, remember how Fat Nixon insisted he'd "absolutely take the stand" & testify at his own trial?

Welp, this is your reminder that, no surprise to anyone, Dolt45 chickened out at the last minute.

Chalk this up as lie # 49,143.

After brashly declaring he wanted to #testify in his #criminal trial, it appears increasingly unlikely that #Trump will do so, as the #jury seems poised to hear #ClosingArguments next week.

Defendants rarely testify, because their #lawyers advise them that the risks of doing so, particularly when it comes to being questioned by prosecutors #UnderOath, are simply too great.

#McWhirter was scheduled to testify on behalf of the defense on Tuesday, the same day that the New York Times article appeared. However, he apparently suffered a heart attack prior to boarding an airplane on his way to Washington D.C. and was subsequently hospitalized. He will no longer #testify in the case.

McWhirter is the second member of the #OathKeepers to have been revealed as a #GovernmentInformant.

JUST A REMINDER:

In 2017, T**** said, "Absolutely 100%" he would testify in court regarding whether or not he asked James Comey to take a loyalty oath (and then, of course, never did.)

THIS IS HIS M.O.. He declares he "absolutely will testify under oath" (or agree to a #debate, or release his #taxes, etc), winning the accolades of his supporters, and then finds an excuse not to do it. #TrumpTrial #Testify #Testimony

#WTF

Per #TheGuardian #MeToo

New York’s highest court on Thursday #overturned Harvey #Weinstein’s 2020 #rapeconviction finding the judge at the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced the ex-movie mogul with “egregious” improper rulings, including a decision to let women #testify about allegations that were not part of the case.
The #courtofappeals ruling reopens a painful chapter in America’s reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures – an era that began with a flood of #allegations.

Chief Justice #JohnRoberts said he saw no reason to disagree w/an appeals court decision denying #PeterNavarro's request to remain free, adding that that decision is distinct from a ruling on the appeal itself.

#Navarro was #convicted in Sept for refusing to #testify or provide documents to the House cmte that investigated the #Jan6, 2021, Capitol attack.

…The cmte wanted to question Navarro bc he wrote, in his book…about the scheme to delay certification of Pres Joe #Biden's election.

A snr aide to #Trump asked #SCOTUS on Fri to keep him out of #prison while he appeals his #conviction for refusing to #testify before #Congress about his involvement in efforts to overturn the #2020election.

#PeterNavarro is required to report to prison in Miami by Tues, after the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit said that he “has not shown that his appeal presents substantial questions of #law or fact likely” to undo his conviction or 4-month sentence.
