SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 31 – Peter Strzok and Lisa
Page both have lawsuits in the
District for the District of
Columbia, against Merrick
Garland and DOJ.
But their
counsel appeared on January 21
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Vernon S.
Broderick, how ever
briefing.
This was
was filed in the SDNY because
of Donald J. Trump's legal
presence in New York. But on
January 31 it quickly became
clear the case would be
transferred back to
Washington.
Judge
Broderick ordered, "the
Government's oral motion to
transfer on consent the
instand motion to quash the
deposition subpoena directed
to Donald J. Trump to the
District of Columbia is hereby
granted."
DOJ's
papers make clear, albeit via
footnote, that "neither the
disposition of this motion nor
the disposition of this case
requires the Court to opine on
the appropriateness of the
former President's conduct. In
similar fashion, this
memorandum should not be
construed as a defense of that
conduct."
The case is, or
was, Department of Justice, et
al., 22-mc-20
(Broderick)
