I’m not a lawyer, however, the article says the corrupt judge read Trump is right to be in court for the trial, then dictated he must. Those two don’t match up. If you have the right to attend but you have an attorney to represent you, unless you’re going to be testifying that day, you don’t really need to be there, right?
They do.. They demand.. They deny.. They make it up as required to get what they want.
There is no one stopping them.
