U.S. Judge Kimba Wood has postponed until next week a scheduled hearing concerning federal agents’ seizure of materials from Michael Cohen’s office and apartment.
The delay is intended to provide special master Barbara Jones, who was appointed to review the seized documents to sort out material covered by attorney-client privilege, more time to proceed with her work, Wood said in an order.
The hearing, which was scheduled to take place this Thursday, is now set for Wednesday May 30.
“And”, Judge Kimba Wood continued, “if defendant Michael Cohen shows up in court after this 7-day delay wearing that abomination of a plaid sport jacket, I will step out from behind this bench and personally kick his fashion-hating ass.”
“Deflection”, thy name is George.
I love that jacket (plaid is my favorite color). Would not pay $3200 for it, alas.
