Arraignment

On this episode of Decoding the Docket, we dive into the arraignment of the former President and his codefendant on Tuesday in Miami, as well as the first substantive action District Court Judge Aileen Cannon has taken in the case. We explore how the Bail Reform Act played a role in allowing the former President and his codefendant to remain free on bail pending trial, as well as the insistence by Magistrate Judge Goodman to impose a pretrial condition that the government didn't seek — one that prohibits either defendant from talking with any witnesses about the case. Plus, we explore the implications of the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA), which will govern the use of classified information throughout the case.
