    Judge denies spousal privilege claim on Jared Kushner emails

    Judge Engoron has denied a motion from Trump’s attorneys to block Ivanka Trump from being asked about emails between her and her husband, Jared Kushner.

    Trump lawyer Chris Kise had argued the emails were protected by spousal privilege, and that “the witness cannot be compelled to speak about communications with her spouse.” The judge sided with the AG’s office, which contended the emails were sent from work email addresses on work topics.

    “It is not privileged,” the judge said.

    (Note: I’m going to be away for a bit, if someone else wants to pull updates for those that appreciate them. Otherwise, I’ll resume updating when I return.)

    EDIT: I’m just gonna assume anyone who wanted an update clicked through and got one by now. Today’s testimony finished up a couple hours ago. No big bombshells. AG’s office just doing work and Trump’s lawyers bitching about it.
