53. Not generally contempt.

Penalties typically include being ordered to pay attorney fees for the other side, unfavorable inferences drawn regarding the subject of the discovery, defense witnesses being excluded, etc.

At some point there may be a court order to provide discovery (as opposed to the criminal/civil rules). If there is court ordered discovery, then the penalty might be contempt.

wow. So why did Jack make that filing? ecstatic Jan 2024 #51

His filing was a mandated status report. He merely reported that there was no discovery from Trump to report. onenote Jan 2024 #52

thanks! nt ecstatic Jan 2024 #55

Doesn't matter if he requested any - the defense is required to produce their evidence prior to trial.... getagrip_already Jan 2024 #27

According to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure it does matter. onenote Jan 2024 #40
