Nader’s lawyers say he’s in poor health and should be released. Nader’s lawyers filed a motion seeking his conditional release, but it is filed under seal so its details are not public. After a bench conference of several minutes at Thursday’s hearing, U.S. Magistrate Judge Ivan Davis ordered that Nader remain jailed, but expedited a detention hearing for Friday afternoon, where the issue can be discussed further. At an earlier hearing in New York, Nader’s lawyer, Christopher Clark, said his client came to the U.S. to receive treatment for heart disease. Clark declined to comment after Thursday’s hearing.
