Summary
This document is a court transcript from case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, filed on August 10, 2022. In the transcript, a government attorney, Mr. Rohrbach, argues that opposing counsel's (Ms. Menninger's) comments about how witness interviews were conducted have an evidentiary basis from prior testimony. The judge overrules the government's request, stating that the basis for those comments was the cross-examination of the witnesses themselves, not the testimony Mr. Rohrbach cited.

THE COURT: I don't recall hearing a crossing of the line, but I'll step down and you can point me to language and, again, they're about to get the instruction, so I'm not going to give an instruction that's a repetition about what I'm about to instruct them. We'll break for five.
(Recess)
THE COURT: Yes.
MR. ROHRBACH: Your Honor, with the benefit of the break, the government has honed its request and basis for it. So, as Ms. Moe said, we think there was several assertions which were not in the record, but the clearest one perhaps is Ms. Menninger's arguments about the way interviews were conducted in this case.

THE COURT: It was referencing the cross examination of the witnesses themselves regarding how they were questioned in the interviews and the prior interviews. That was the evidentiary basis for those comments. Overruled.
