Good morning and welcome to the Genaro Garcia Luna show.

Today& #39;s hearing before Judge Cogan starts in about 15 minutes. Will be tweeting live updates to this thread, stay tuned here for updates as things get underway.… https://twitter.com/keegan_hamilton/status/1313667264579727360">https://twitter.com/keegan_ha...
Here& #39;s the "status update" for today& #39;s hearing, jointly filed by federal prosecutors and GGL& #39;s attorney.

On the agenda:

-Arraignment on new indictment
-Evidence that the gov has been handing over
-Trial date may be set, gov says will last 2-3 months https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.442343/gov.uscourts.nyed.442343.52.0_1.pdf">https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov...
Already problems — lots of people on this conference call, including someone who has a Spanish-language news broadcast blasting. Court interpreter saying she can& #39;t hear anything over the background noise. Some people have not figured out how to "mute" yet during the pandemic.
…and we& #39;re underway: Michael Robotti, a prosecutor from the Chapo trial, leading things for the government. Cesar de Castro is the lead attorney for Garcia-Luna.

Lots of background noise and people not on mute still, judge& #39;s deputy trying to get it sorted out…
GGL now being arraigned on superseding indictment. Judge Cogan upset about the background noise: "I& #39;m hearing Mexican reporters and I don& #39;t want to hear it."
Judge Cogan threatening to cancel and postpone hearing if people don& #39;t figure out mute: "I& #39;m going to ask the Mexican participants once again to silence your mics, put it on mute."
…and today& #39;s GGL hearing has now been cancelled.

Judge Cogan lost patience with people on the conference call line not being on mute and talking in the background.

I will update this thread again when a new hearing date has been set.
