Colonel Poppe filed a motion asking the judge to modify the role of Major Hasan's Army defense team.
The war looks to be personalised in the forms of Caesar (Andy Serkis again, in motion capture) and the shaven-headed Colonel played by Woody Harrelson.
On Monday, Colonel Nance heard another, similar motion after President Trump appeared to endorse his campaign-trail sentiments.
Colonel Pohl also declined a motion by the defense to force the prosecutors to say that if Mr. Nashiri were acquitted, the government would continue to detain him at Guantánamo rather than releasing him.
On April 11, Colonel Pohl granted Mr. Nashiri's motion for unshackled visits without taking testimony, so he sidestepped, for now, a decision on the standard that will govern requests to close proceedings at the Guantánamo trials.

The military judge, Colonel Denise Lind, said she would rule on that motion at a hearing starting January 16.
But Mr. Nevin did not mention such details, and his motion "to preserve evidence at any existing detention facility" was unclassified, Colonel Pohl said.
