This is Michael Popak, Legal AF. Judge Chutkin already has her hands full with Donald Trump on one side and the special counsel on the other. And she doesn't need any other parties involved in the case. And we know that because she just issued a new order in which she's denied apparently about eight different motions, which appear to be coordinated for people who claim to be victims under the Crime Victims Relief Act of 2004,

claiming that they were victims of Donald Trump's four crimes. And therefore, under the Crime Victims Relief Act, the CVRA, they're entitled, if they were truly victims, they're entitled to various things like to participate in the proceedings, to be there live, to be able to file papers in the case. And the judge got these at the last minute back in February, but we just know about them now because she's denied their participation claiming that they are not victims. We have a new ruling. Let me break it all down for you. First of all,

we got Judge Chutkin back in her chair, back in the driver's seat, being placed there by the DC Court of Appeals and by the Supreme Court. She has regained jurisdiction in the case, as we like to say, and now she's busy kind of cleaning up the underbrush and getting ready for the August 16th hearing that she's going to be conducting about how to put the wheels back on this wagon and get this four count case against Donald Trump moving again in light of the immunity decision that she's now going to have to apply issued by the Supreme Court in July. That's the Crime Victim Relief Act of 2004, which for those that are playing at home can be found at 18 USC 3771 of the federal statutes, basically gives rights to people who can legitimately claim to be victims directly or

proximately who have been harmed by alleged federal offenses, could be crimes or misdemeanors. This usually is embodied by physical, emotional, or financial harm. I presume, because we haven't seen the filings, because the judge wouldn't allow them to be filed, you have to make a request. That request is off-docket, if you will. We didn't know about it until now. It was done in February. The reporting is there were about eight of them, and they all claimed to be victims. We're victims.

I presume they're claiming that because Donald Trump tried to interfere with the election, he's charged with defrauding the United States with obstructing an official proceeding, that they are voters, they are part of the electorate that almost had their vote denied because of the clinging to power or have some other argument for a victim status. But the judge is not buying into that. Let me just read you what she has written. She's written that leave to file denied and there are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 orders, but they're all identical, meaning this was sort of a coordinated effort. It says leave to file an amended application for CVRA relief. That's the Crime Victim Reliefs Act, dated 6-13-2024. There was one on 7-7-2024, 7-10-2024, 7-11-2024, 7-12-2024, and 7-19-2024. These

are all motions to supplement a petition or motion for leaves on a petition. So we got those eight filings the court has said uniformly in response to following. Although courts have in rare instances exercised their discretion to permit third party submissions in criminal cases, neither the federal rules or criminal procedure nor the local criminal rules contemplate that practice. Movement asserts a right to file on this docket under the CVRA, but they do not establish that they qualify as victim under the CVRA statutory definition. Back to what I said before, in order to be a victim, you've got to show physical, emotional, or financial harm directly or proximately caused by the crime, usually after the crime has been committed,

convicted, and adjudged, not while it's still in progress, but we'll leave that aside for a minute. The judge goes on to say, consequently, the victim's rights enumerated in the CVRA do not attach and the court is not persuaded that it is appropriate to depart from the ordinary course and permit this filing." Then she reminded everybody that the document is unavailable because the court has denied its filing signed Tanya Chutkin. What does it all mean?

She's got enough with the parties to the case, the people, the United States of America represented by the special counsel on one side and Donald Trump on the other.

She already has to take and map onto the indictment and make major decisions about liberty, about somebody's liberty, about somebody's liberty, Donald Trump's liberty, about justice. She has to take the July 1st Trump versus United States immunity decision which went pro-
