Former Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik was dealt a setback at a pretrial conference Tuesday.
Federal judge Stephen Robinson says the defense cannot mention the September 11th terror attacks during the trial, which is expected to begin on October 13th.
The judge says the attack has no relevance to the case.
The judge was also upset that a new lawyer hired by Kerik sent an email to The Washington Times containing non-public information and warned Kerik he could be jailed for such inappropriate behavior.
Kerik is accused of accepting apartment renovations from a construction company in exchange for recommending the company for city contracts.
Kerik has pleaded not guilty.
