Trump judge scolds Jack Smith staff

A Trump-appointed federal judge on Thursday was so upset about his court being delayed by special counsel Jack Smith's grand jury probe that he delayed it further by demanding U.S. Marshals "fetch" one of the special counsel's prosecutors to explain himself, according to MSNBC. 

According to Politico, U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden summoned federal prosecutor Thomas Windom from the grand jury room after attorney Stanley Woodward, who represents a host of Trump associates, arrived 25 minutes late to the hearing for Jan. 6 rioters accused of violence against Capitol police, Federico Klein and Steven Cappuccio, the former of which is Woodward's client. Windom arrived during McFadden's verdict reading and was called to the bench for a six-minute sealed conversation obscured by a white noise "husher." Windom then returned to the grand jury room up the hall and McFadden continued reading the verdict.
