A preliminary hearing is scheduled for September. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap\" style=\"min-height:5px;\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" style=\"display:none;\">Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the reported petition, the trust was established separately from his parents\u2019 estate and was intended solely for his benefit. Reiner contends that the trust\u2019s distributions are mandatory rather than discretionary and that concerns raised by trustee Paul Kanin about his ability to manage the money are unsupported. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The filing states there has been no legal finding that he is incompetent and argues that withholding funds violates the terms of the trust. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reiner says he needs access to the money to pay attorneys and fund his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-announces-new-legal-defense-team-for-impeachment-trial\/\" title=\"President Trump announces new legal ... team for impeachment trial\">legal defense<\/a>. The petition also states he wants funds for his jail commissary account to purchase basic items such as hygiene products and clothing. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap\" style=\"min-height:5px;\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" style=\"display:none;\">Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-16\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-epstein-reading-room-prominently-features-trump-connection-among-3-5-million-doj-documents\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/4599386\/epstein-reading-room-trump-doj-documents\/\"><strong>EPSTEIN READING ROOM PROMINENTLY FEATURES TRUMP CONNECTION AMONG 3.5 MILLION DOJ DOCUMENTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The filing also references the withdrawal of prominent defense attorney Alan Jackson earlier this year. Jackson, who initially represented Reiner after his arrest, stepped away from the case after Reiner allegedly could not afford the attorney. Reiner is now represented by a public defender, though the petition suggests he hopes to retain private counsel if the trust funds are released. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities allege Reiner fatally stabbed his parents in their Los Angeles home in December. Police arrested him hours later, and prosecutors subsequently charged him with two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances. A judge has not yet ruled on Reiner\u2019s request for access to the trust funds. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap\" style=\"min-height:5px;\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" style=\"display:none;\">Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-17\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nick Reiner seeks court release of his trust funds for legal fees and necessities while jailed awaiting trial<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4130,"featured_media":2612407,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AP26054654319371.jpg?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[81066,36890,81065,68808,61605],"class_list":["post-2612406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-court-petition","tag-family-law","tag-financial-dispute","tag-nick-reiner","tag-trust-fund"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AP26054654319371.jpg?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2612406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4130"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2612406"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2612406\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2612410,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2612406\/revisions\/2612410"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2612407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2612406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2612406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2612406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
