Judge questions lawyers about potential witness perjury: Lawyers must uphold ethical obligations during trials, including addressing potential witness perjury, while also respecting the judge's impartiality.
During a trial in New York, Judge Angouoron asked the lawyers if they had any information about Allen Weisselberg, a defendant and witness, potentially lying under oath about a civil fraud case. Alina Haba and her co-counsel, Cliff Robert, responded differently. While Haba acknowledged the judge's inquiry, Robert challenged the judge's impartiality and argued that the record was closed and there should be no consideration of a New York Times article reporting Weisselberg's alleged perjury. However, the judge's primary response was to Robert's argument, and the outcome of this exchange remains to be seen. This incident highlights the importance of ethical obligations for lawyers and the potential consequences of perceived bias in the courtroom.
Judge asks lawyers about potential perjury during court proceeding: Lawyers were asked about potential perjury in a courtroom, but the judge was not making judgments based on articles at that moment. Honesty is crucial in court proceedings to avoid perjury.
During a court proceeding, a judge may ask lawyers for factual information regarding potential perjury, which is their sworn duty as officers of the court. However, the judge is not taking judicial notice of articles or making rulings based on them at that moment. In this specific case, Alina Haba and Cliff Robert were asked about potential perjury by Allen Weisselberg regarding the value of a Trump Tower triplex apartment. Haba clarified she did not represent Weisselberg in the criminal case, but they were still linked in the civil case. Robert accused Michael Cohen of perjury and questioned why Haba wasn't concerned. The judge rebukked Robert, emphasizing that he was asking about potential perjury in the courtroom and not making a judgment on articles. If Haba knew or should have known that Weisselberg lied about the apartment's value, it could be considered perjury. Weisselberg's inconsistent memory and selective recall of facts highlight the importance of honesty in court proceedings.

Clear communication crucial in legal disputes: Misleading responses from lawyers could lead to disciplinary action. Truth and finding facts are essential in legal proceedings.
During a legal dispute, clear and straightforward communication between lawyers is crucial. In this case, a lawyer for Donald Trump's organization wrote a response to a request for information that was misleading, which could potentially lead to disciplinary action against him. The judge in the case clarified that he had not taken judicial notice of a New York Times article or suggested he would consider it in his findings of fact. He also emphasized the importance of truth and finding facts in the case, and reached out to counsel for a defendant to inquire about a serious allegation. Overall, clear communication and adherence to ethical standards are essential in legal proceedings.
Lawyers' Ethical Obligation to Disclose Falsehoods from Clients: Judges emphasize transparency and disclosure, even in concluded cases, and lawyers have an ethical duty to reveal falsehoods or deceit from their clients, including instances of suborned perjury. Attempts to question the impartiality of the judge or bring up irrelevant matters are inappropriate.
Lawyers have an ethical obligation to disclose any falsity or perceived deceit from their clients, even if it means revealing confidential information. This includes instances where a client may have suborned perjury. The judge in the case discussed emphasized the importance of transparency and disclosure, even if the case has already concluded. The judge also made it clear that any attempt to question the impartiality of the judge or bring up irrelevant matters, such as the veracity of other individuals involved in the case, is in fact inappropriate. The case is expected to proceed with an evidentiary hearing, where key players, including lawyers and potential witnesses, will be brought in to address the allegations of false testimony and potential ethical violations.
Judge's focus on Allen Weisselberg's lies and Trump's financial misconduct: Judge Angouoron's decision on Weisselberg's lies and Trump's financial misconduct could impact the case outcome, lawyers' licenses, and severe penalties including $500 million disgorgement and dissolution of Trump's legal entities.
