In a similar vein, Judge McAfee (of the Georgia case) told Trump co-defendant David Shafer that he risked being ejected from his courtroom. The warning came after Shafer could be heard laughing during Nathan Wade’s testimony in a hearing over a motion seeking Fani Willis’s disqualification:
A co-defendant in the sprawling election interference case against former president Donald Trump in Georgia was warned he could be removed from the courtroom after he laughed during testimony.
David Shafer, the former chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, was reprimanded on Thursday during a hearing about the misconduct allegations against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
…
Mr Wade took the stand during the hearing, at one point facing questions about vacations the two took together and how they were paid for. Mr Wade said he booked travel with his credit card, and Ms Willis paid him back in cash.
At this point, in a livestream of the hearing, Mr Shafer could be heard laughing aloud.
“Mr Shafer, you’ll step out if you do that again,” Judge Scott McAfee warned him.
This suggests that Judge McAfee will not look kindly on the sort of disruptive behavior that Trump has been prone to in previous court appearances. If it were allowed I’d be half tempted to start a pool on how long it will take for Trump to be ejected (and perhaps another one about how long it will take for his head to assplode from the accumulated pressure).
