Two members of the public will not be allowed to testify in Donald Trump's classified documents case.
The judge in Donald Trump's classified documents case has refused to allow two members of the public to testify on Trump's behalf.The pair, who have no connection to the case, wanted to testify about the alleged unfairness and waste of money in the case. They sought to enter as 'friends of the court,' a legal position normally reserved for expert opinion that is given for either side in a case.
'They claimed that Trump's prosecution was disproportionate to the alleged crime.'We would want the Court to respectfully see that the funding the state has used, legal or not, to prosecute the defendant is disproportionate to the acts for which others in his same category and class have gone unpunished for the same crime as explained by the Defendant filings without the semantics by the opposition,' their court briefing states.
