Nassau County police on Thursday have responded to a bomb threat at the home of Judge Arthur Engoron, the judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told NBC News.
The threat comes hours before closing arguments in the trial are scheduled to begin, with those arguments still expected to proceed.
A bomb squad was called to Engoron’s home and was investigating Thursday morning; it is unclear whether Engoron was home at the time.
Trump had asked to deliver part of the closing arguments himself, but Engoron rejected the request Wednesday in a contentious email exchange with Trump’s lawyers after the former president refused to commit to only speaking about the facts of the case and not engage in any attacks.
The judge didn’t really reject their request, they simply ghosted him when he told them the terms under which he would accept their request, and after 2 or 3 deadline extensions their opportunity lapsed.
In all fairness, they did whine first before ghosting.
Literally “your honor, it’s not fair”
It’s only a matter of time before one of these fucks actually does something.
Edit: They’ve already done plenty… I don’t know why I worded my original comment like that. I guess I’m just waiting for someone to do something that even the most head-in-the-sand people can’t ignore, as if J6 wasn’t enough.
And then the DOJ will be shocked Pikachu face.
