A panel of 12 New York jurors are weighing evidence for a second day in the criminal trial of Donald Trump, who is accused of falsifying documents to hide a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.

That’s the conundrum facing Grant & Eisenhofer, which represents investors who contend they were misled about crypto tokens issued by blockchain company Block.one. Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan federal court denied final approval of their hard-won $22 million settlement in February, chiding lawyers for failing to comply with his order demanding information about the claims process. Kaplan apparently overlooked a letter providing the data he asked for, as the lawyers have since pointed out in a series of letters and motions. So far, Alison Frankel says, Kaplan hasn’t responded to their entreaties. Read more.
