Andrew Weissmann: 纽约州一项新法律规定，检察官必须及时向被告提供证据，否则可能面临撤销起诉的处罚。本案中，由于联邦政府延迟提供文件，导致纽约州检察官办公室延迟提交文件，可能面临撤销起诉的风险。法官最终同意将审判推迟30天，以解决文件延迟问题，但这并不意味着案件会被驳回。联邦政府和州政府在处理文件方面没有合作，因为联邦政府拥有10万份响应传票的文件，而州政府却没有。 Mary McCord: 法官在纽约对特朗普的刑事案件中做出了几项重要的证据裁决，包括关于哪些证据可被采纳，哪些证据不可被采纳。证人的可信度可以被质疑，但不能用他人的意见来代替陪审团的判断。即使证人有不良记录，被告也有权盘问证人，并让陪审团决定证人的可信度。法官裁定，特朗普大厦会议和《好莱坞往事》录像带的证据可以在审判中提交，因为这些证据与案件相关。法官允许证词关于“好莱坞往事”录像带，但不允许录像带本身作为证据提交，除非被告先提及此事。特朗普试图在不正式提出“律师建议辩护”的情况下，利用律师建议作为辩护理由，但法官驳回了这一请求。 Andrew Weissmann: 对法官坎农在处理海湖庄园案中的行为的担忧，以及法官在审判中拥有根据规则29驳回案件的权力。根据联邦法院规则29，法官可以在审判过程中驳回案件，且该裁决不可上诉。法官坎农驳回了特朗普关于海湖庄园案中指控含糊不清的动议，但该裁决不具有约束力，这引发了人们对法官在审判中可能采取行动的担忧。法官坎农要求双方就海湖庄园案中的陪审团指示提交方案，这些方案基于相互矛盾且不正确的法律假设。检察官杰克·史密斯需要考虑是否对法官坎农的裁决提出上诉，因为这些裁决可能难以被上诉法院推翻。

The New York criminal case against Trump has been delayed due to issues with document production from the Southern District of New York. The delay raises legal questions about the timely production of discovery materials and potential implications for the trial.

Shownotes Transcript

Delays persist in several of the cases against former president Trump, including in the New York case that was set to begin next week. MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord detail what led to the delay in receiving documents from the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan. They also review Judge Cannon’s decision on Trump’s motion to dismiss the Florida documents case based on ‘vagueness’ in the Espionage Act. Then, Andrew and Mary turn to the Georgia ruling that led to the resignation of lead prosecutor Nathan Wade. Plus, Monday's news that the former president can’t find an insurance company to underwrite his $464 Million bond for the judgement in his NY civil fraud case.
