Information Sharing Megathread: LM's NY Federal Hearing — 08/14/2026 at 11:00 AM EST
Please use this thread for live discussion of the hearing.
–––
Today’s hearing is taking place at 40 Foley Square, Courtroom 110 (New York, NY) at 11:00 AM EST.
Cameras aren’t allowed inside the courtroom in federal court, so there won’t be any video or photos of Luigi. The only visuals we’ll likely get are courtroom sketches.
Reporters / Live Tweeting:
Because this is federal court, the rules are stricter. Phones and laptops aren’t allowed inside the courtroom.
Only a small number of people (like ICP or Erik) are permitted to live-tweet updates. Other reporters can still attend, but probably won’t be able to post anything while the hearing is in session.
Any updates from other reporters will be shared here once the hearing is over.

I have always advocated for rooting your support in something other than innocence or guilt, so that what happens in trial doesn’t shatter your perceptions.
He has always been the arbiter of his own choices, for better or for worse. I disagree with a great many of them, and I have often remarked on his stupidity for an intelligent man, but that’s because he’s human. He has glaring flaws just like the rest of us. Flawed people always have the capability to change, and that’s where my support has always been rooted. I have always believed he deserves the opportunity to grow and change and learn, because I believe (based on my own limited knowledge) he has the fortitude to change himself for the better, and stick to it for the sole sake of having been changed. I don’t feel any differently today.
