The reason that Trump went after the Judge was because the depositions had been released and now they were fighting to keep the video locked up. You can read the deposition below and tell that he is a terrible client

For example he is asked about some names of instructors (he had stated in advertising that he hand picked the instructors).
After a couple of names he says:
·You'd have to give me a list.· You'd have to show me the list.·
You then have dozens of names read from a list, and he complains about the list. Then they ask him to identify photos, then video/audio clips.
If he had just answered "I can't identify any of them" it would have been over, but he wants to take on the attorneys and so it goes on for hours.
