News In Trump's NY criminal case, prosecutors file their so-called "Sandoval" notice—disclosing uncharged prior bad acts they intend to use at trial to impeach his credibility. The list in the document rattles off the NYAG civil fraud case, the E. Jean Carroll case, and more.
"If the defendant chooses to testify, the People intend to inquire regarding the following" Read the full list of litigation prosecutors intend to confront Trump with, if given the green light by the judge. Doc 🔗 documentcloud.org/documents/2455…
Context A Sandoval hearing establishes the permissible scope of cross-examination in order for the defendant to make an informed decision about whether to testify. The notice shows that, for Trump, the list of prior bad acts, is quite long.
@KlasfeldReports @MuellerSheWrote Hooboy... That will guarantee Trump won't testify. But if he doesn't, he looks guilty of everything.
@KlasfeldReports The dude's rap sheet is longer than many "hardened criminals." But I'd argue that he is, in fact, a hardened criminal, only he's gotten away with his crimes the past 50 years.
@KlasfeldReports @MuellerSheWrote Imagine being so corrupt and criminal as to have three pages of prior bad acts that could be raised at your current (and not only) criminal trial.
@KlasfeldReports See how the civil cases have an impact on the criminal cases? Every little step makes a difference.
