March 7, 20241 yr Could Arizona be # 5 to indict the criminal defendant? Arizona prosecutors issue grand jury subpoenas as 2020 election probe intensifies Prosecutors in Arizona have issued several grand jury subpoenas in recent weeks to people connected to efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election in that state, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

Sources told CNN that Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes could be nearing a decision on whether to bring criminal charges.
March 7, 20241 yr MAGA - Make Attorneys Get Attorneys. Legal experts warn Trump lawyers could face "criminal prosecution” if they knew ex-CFO lied Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg on Monday pleaded guilty to perjury, admitting to lying under oath to the New York attorney general’s office as it was investigating Donald Trump. The repercussions of Weisselberg's plea agreement could have serious consequences for Trump's attorneys, including Alina Habba, Clifford Robert, and others, The Daily Beast reported. Under the New York Rules of Professional Conduct, a lawyer "shall not knowingly: ... offer or use evidence that the lawyer knows to be false.” If a lawyer becomes aware that their client or a witness called by the lawyer presents "material evidence" that is false, the lawyer is obligated to "take reasonable remedial measures, including, if necessary, disclosure to the tribunal.” The rules go on to mention that a lawyer "who represents a client before a tribunal and who knows that a person intends to engage, is engaging or has engaged in criminal or fraudulent conduct related to the proceeding shall take reasonable remedial measures.” In this case, if the Trump lawyers in the attorney general's case knew that Weisselberg lied in his testimony, they were required to take "reasonable remedial measures," Stephen Gillers, a professor of legal ethics at New York University School of Law, told Salon. "They had to do this even if those measures required them to disclose a client's confidential information,” Gillers said. "Here those remedial measures would have required disclosure of the lie to the court. Perjury is ‘criminal’ and ‘fraudulent conduct’ under paragraph (b) [of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct].” The disciplinary committee can start an investigation into the lawyer's conduct on its own or in response to a complaint, he added.

It's absolutely terrible PR for any company to post bond in a rape defamation case though. Add in the political element and it's even worse. They certainly owe an explanation to their shareholders.
