11. Judge Curiel - Please release Don the Con's Videotaped Deposition Testimony

<snip>
The Trump University lawsuit is back in the news this morning and so is U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, only this time it is not related to a Donald Trump insult. Instead, Curiel will decide whether to release Trump’s videotaped deposition testimony in the case. The depositions, taken on December 10 and January 21, include testimony from Trump about how the school was run. The majority of the written transcript of Trump’s testimony has already been released.

Earlier this year, plaintiffs in the lawsuit filed a motion to include portions of the videotaped testimony as part of the public filings in the case. Last month, several major media organizations filed a separate motion asking the judge to the release the videotaped testimony. The media organizations requested the release of the videotaped depositions of Trump as a matter of the “public’s right to know.”

Trump’s attorneys have objected to the release of the video, claiming it is unnecessary and duplicative since the written transcripts are already largely available. Furthermore, they do not object to the release of the remaining written portions on the transcripts. They argue:

Plaintiff’s sole justification for doing so here is his assertion that the video of Mr. Trump’s deposition contains “many spontaneous and ad hominem remarks that are not reflected in the paper transcript.” Plaintiff’s purposed reason for offering the veto as an exhibit is wholly insufficient given that a witness’s credibility is irrelevant at summary judgement.
