court order: The attorney general's name was added to the list in a court filing Wednesday night, according to Metro News. On Thursday night, U. S. District Judge Susan Bolton set new dates for Arpaio's bench trial June 26-30 and July 5-7. Jack Wilenchik, one of Arpaio's attorneys, said Sessions' testimony would underscore a contradiction between current federal immigration policy and the 2011 court order that his client is charged with violating. It had had been scheduled to begin April 25, but Bolton reluctantly agreed Wednesday to the delay after Arpaio's lead attorney quit the case last week. Arpaio, 84, faces the misdemeanour contempt charge for letting his immigration patrols continue after a judge in a racial profiling case had ordered them stopped. Other lawyers who recently joined his legal team said they didn't have enough time to properly prepare for the trial.
