Trump v. YouTube settlement talks quietly drag on, and a judge demands a public update
"Lawyers for Donald Trump and Sundar Pichai have been in private negotiations for four months in hopes of resolving the president's 2021 "de-platforming" lawsuit against YouTube and the CEO, Business Insider has confirmed - and now the judge is demanding a public update. In an order issued from Oakland late Tuesday, US District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers told the parties to provide "a substantive plan" for resolving the lawsuit."
"The judge rejected the parties' joint request for two more months to let negotiations play out before their next court appearance. Instead, she set an October 6 date for a public videoconference and directed them to file an update by September 29. "The parties have failed to provide the Court with sufficient substantive information regarding resolution of this action," she wrote."
"'She's holding our feet to the fire a little,' Trump attorney John Q. Kelly told Business Insider, confirming that settlement talks are ongoing but declining to divulge details."
