A Washington, D.C., Judge, on Thursday, set a September 26 Trial Date, weeks ahead of the Pivotal 2022 Midterm Elections in November, for a Case brought by the D.C. Attorney General against Tump's 2017 Inaugural Committee.
The move comes Three days after Judge Williams reversed another Judge's earlier Decision removing Trump's Family Business from the Suit. Trump's Washington Hotel as well as the Inaugural Committee itself, are Named Defendants.
The D.C. Attorney General's Office alleges that Trump's 2017 Presidential Inaugural Committee Misused Nonprofit Funds, to Pay for Event Space at the Trump Hotel and other Expenditures. The Case rests, in part, on the Claim of "Private Inurement", the question of whether the Inaugural Committee used its Funds for Private Benefit rather than Nonprofit purposes.
Also during Thursday's Hearing, Trump's Legal Team asked the Judge to Not allow the D.C. Attorney General to Depose former Trump Organization, CFO Allen Weisselberg, in the Inaugural Committee Case, claiming it would be a "broader fishing expedition."
But, when the Inaugural Committee had to file with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), they couldn't balance the Books, so they called Weisselberg to make the Books balance.
Judge Williams ultimately said she would "allow a limited deposition of Mr. Weisselberg."
