Brad Lander Political Trial for 26 Fed Arrest Has Julia Salazar But Not Claire Valdez

Brad Lander Political Trial for 26 Fed Arrest Has Julia Salazar But Not Claire Valdez by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 10 – Former NYC Comptroller, now Congressional candidate  Brad Lander was in the SDNY courthouse  back on February 12, on the complaint following his detention in 26 Federal Plaza. Inner City Press was the first media in the courtroom and live tweeted: Defense: We propose May 11 for trial, March 4 for our motion. AUSA: Schedule would be OK - but we disagree on the law The trial in fact took place on June 10, and Inner City Press live tweeted all of it, here. On his way in, Inner City Press asked Lander about FISA and the DNI. After the trial - the ruling was put off to the following morning at 9 am - Inner City Press asked him if he had prepared for a longer cross examination than he got: very short, allowing an answer about "Knicks colors." He laughed. Then he was asked about fellow endorsee Claire Valdez, and his lawyer answered as well. More on X for Subscribers here and Substack here The case is In re Bradford S.
