Court hearing descends into chaos as Detroit mom is caught making a SNACK on video call

Daily Mail​10-06-2025
A court hearing in Detroit descended into chaos after a mom was caught making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich while on video call with the judge, who she then continued to argue with.
Asia Outerbridge was berated by 36th District Court Judge Sean Perkins after she showed up late to her Zoom court hearing wearing a robe and then making a PB&J sandwich on the video call.
The mom was facing a misdemeanor charge for allegedly having an open alcohol container as a passenger in a car.
She showed the judge a piece of paper that she claimed her court time started at 1pm.
The judge and Outerbridge then began a back and forth disagreement, as Judge Perkins told her to stop making a sandwich.
'Put whatever you're tryna prepare down,' he said.
'I'm just tryna feed my daughter,' she said as she showed her daughter on camera to the court, showing the robe she was wearing.
'Is that a robe?' Judge Perkins asked, before she began defending that she was 'properly dressed' and said, 'I have on a t-shirt!'

Judge Perkins and Outerbridge argued back and forth about her showing up late and her attire before she was booted from the video call
'I'm sorry that your daughter is sick but again, you are in court,' he said. 'And we're going to treat it as such.'
Outerbridge was removed from the call as she spoke over the judge defending her attire on the call.
But she told CBS News that, while she 'definitely was wrong,' there was an explanation for the bizarre behavior.
'I got multiple court dates, so I called to get the Zoom number, and they had told me like, "Oh, you're supposed to be there right now." What I had said 1pm,' she told the outlet.
'I hung up with them, and hopped on at 9.22am exactly, and waited there from 9.22 to 11.30. That's when the robe thing happened, and he put me back in holding. So with being on hold for two hours, I'm not going to lie, I kind of forgot he was on the phone.'
As she realized the session had started again, she sprinted to her phone while making the sandwich.
'I definitely was wrong. I could have came dressed better and more prepared, and I don't want the judge to think that I'm laughing at the situation - at him- because I'm not. I take that very seriously, I do genuinely, with a serious face, apologize to the judge,' she said.
The single mother told CBS News that she is a personal stylist and said: 'I know how to present myself, but that day, you know, it's hard for moms out here.'
She and her three-year-old daughter, Parker, had been home together while her daughter was sick - which Outerbridge said was the reason she was multitasking.
But she later discovered the video of herself on the Zoom call after Metro Detroit News posted the clip to Instagram.
'It was just a lot going on,' she told Fox News. 'I was having a mommy day. I click on the video and I see the judge that I had, and I see my robe and some peanut butter, and I say, "Oh my god."'
'I do feel like I owe the judge an apology. I could have come better prepared, and I could have handled it a lot better,' she admitted.

BREAKING NEWS Ghislaine Maxwell 'didn't hold back' about over '100 people' linked to Epstein during secret Trump DOJ meeting

Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell 'didn't hold back' in answering every question President Donald Trump's Justice Department threw at her over the last two days. Maxwell, 63, completed a second day of interviews with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on Friday afternoon. Attorney David Oscar Markus claimed that his client spoke with Blanche about '100 different people' related to Epstein's child sex trafficking ring. 'They asked about every possible thing you could imagine – everything,' Markus insisted. He also said Maxwell is being used as the 'scapegoat' in the entire Epstein case and has been 'treated unfairly for the last five years.' Blanche flew down to Florida on Wednesday as President Donald Trump 's administration continues to take heat for the alleged 'cover-up' of the Epstein files review. The No. 2 at the Justice Department met at the courthouse in Tallahassee, Florida on Thursday with Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for her crimes. After their meeting, he announced on X that he would have a second day of meetings with Maxwell and her attorney on Friday. Markus said on Friday that Maxwell has not asked for anything in exchange for speaking with the government about what she knows. 'No offers have been made,' he assured. 'We haven't asked for anything.' 'She literally answered every question,' Markus went on. 'She was asked maybe about 100 different people, she answered questions about everybody and she didn't hold anything back.' It's not clear when the DOJ will release what was learned in the meetings. Markus said Maxwell is grateful to have met with Blanche. She is continuing to appeal her sex trafficking conviction. The latest effort was opposed by the DOJ last week as she sought for the Supreme Court to take up the case, arguing that she shouldn't have been charged due a 2008 plea deal Epstein struck with the court. On Thursday after their meeting with Blanche, Markus said that Maxwell answers every question the deputy AG had for his client. President Donald Trump was about a potential pardon for Maxwell on Friday morning amid Blanche's meetings. 'I'm allowed to do it, but it's something I haven't thought about,' the president responded. Outside the courthouse in Tallahassee on Friday a plane flew overhead with a banner reading: 'Trump and Bondi are protecting predators.' Markus detailed the poor conditions he says his client has experienced over the last five years since Epstein's death in prison on August 10, 2019. He said Maxwell was 'treated like an animal' in prison and 'woken up every 15 minutes.'

Ex-DOJ employees sue Bondi for wrongful termination

July 25 (Reuters) - Three former Justice Department employees, including a lawyer who prosecuted people involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, have filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the Trump administration. Plaintiffs Michael Gordon, Patricia Hartman and Joseph Tirrell said their respective terminations by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi violated federal civil service protections. They were each handed a one-page memo between late June and early July informing them of their firing. "No cause, let alone a proper merit-based one, or required due process was provided to Plaintiffs with respect to their termination and removal," the plaintiffs said in their lawsuit, opens new tab, filed Thursday in D.C. federal court. Bondi, the Justice Department and the Executive Office of the President were named as defendants in the lawsuit. A spokesperson for the Justice Department declined to comment. A spokesperson for the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The three plaintiffs are represented by a group of lawyers, including Abbe Lowell, a former Winston & Strawn partner who earlier this year launched his own firm, Mark Zaid and Bradley Moss of Mark S. Zaid P.C., and Norman Eisen of Democracy Defenders Fund. "The DOJ employees at the center of this case served with distinction, followed the law, not politics, and were fired for it," Lowell said in a statement. The Justice Department since January has been dismissing employees who worked on matters involving Trump or his supporters, citing Trump's executive powers under the U.S. Constitution. Gordon was an assistant U.S. attorney who worked in the Middle District of Florida; from November 2021 to December 2023, he was the senior trial counsel to the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office's Capitol Siege Section. Hartman was a supervisory public affairs specialist working out of the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office when she was terminated. The lawsuit said Hartman was "the primary official handling public affairs work specific to the government's prosecution" of Jan. 6 cases. Tirrell was the director of DOJ's departmental ethics office.
