(297,723 posts)11. Judge Curiel - Please release Don the Con's Videotaped Deposition Testimony
http://lawnewz.com/high-profile/judge-curiel-to-decide-whether-to-release-donald-trumps-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 Trumps 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 Trumps 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 publics right to know.
Trumps 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:
Plaintiffs sole justification for doing so here is his assertion that the video of Mr. Trumps deposition contains many spontaneous and ad hominem remarks that are not reflected in the paper transcript. Plaintiffs purposed reason for offering the veto as an exhibit is wholly insufficient given that a witnesss credibility is irrelevant at summary judgement.

He's a total and complete con man - please release the video Judge Curiel
