Trump deposition video set for release
Source: Politico
A video of Donald Trump testifying under oath about his provocative rhetoric about Mexicans and other Latinos is set to go public as soon as Friday, drawing new attention to those comments just weeks before voters cast their ballots in the presidential race.
Trump gave the testimony in June at a law office in Washington in connection with one of two lawsuits he filed last year after prominent chefs reacted to the controversy over his remarks by pulling out of plans to open restaurants at his new D.C. hotel.
D.C. Superior Court Judge Brian Holeman said in an order issued Thursday evening that fears the testimony might show up in campaign commercials were no basis to keep the public from seeing the video.
"This Court finds that Plaintiff has not demonstrated that any subject video deposition contains scandalous, libelous, or other unduly prejudicial material warranting denial of media access," Holeman wrote. "The public shall not be held captive by the suggested eventuality of partisan editing in a manner unfavorable to Plaintiff or the deponents."

(22,649 posts)Friday is call "news dump day," because people have the weekend on their minds and may not get exposed.
For dramatic effect, it'll be best on a Monday when people are back to their routines.
Besides, this has already been a shit week for Trump. Would like more to be dumped on his parade Monday.

If released on Monday, the strategically it could rule a news cycle for a week. That's good marketing and campaign strategy.
