According to the judge, the jury wants:

* David Pecker’s testimony regarding a phone conversation with Donald Trump while Pecker was in the investor meeting.

* Pecker's testimony about the decision not to finalize and fund the assignment of Karen McDougal's life rights.

* Pecker's testimony regarding a Trump Tower meeting.

* Michael Cohen's testimony regarding the Trump Tower meeting.

"Judge Merchan said the court has received a note from the jury. There are four requests in the note."

Something is going on in the election interference courtroom. A buzzer sounded, Trump and the attorneys have returned to the courtroom. reports, "The jury rang the bell, but it isn't yet known why."

Just my opinion, but I think Judge Cannon is fishing for any excuse to dismiss all charges. Since when is a prosecutor supposed to show "professional courtesy" to a defendant?! That's nowhere in the law.

"Four months after the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago estate, Donald Trump’s attorneys discovered four documents marked 'classified' in his personal bedroom ...

"... [A]nother Trump adviser connected to his Save America PAC had acknowledged scanning the contents of the box that contained the classified materials in 2021 and storing them on a personal laptop provided by the PAC."

It occurs to me that, after he's found guilty, Trump will have an opportunity to address the judge before sentencing.

Most defendants would admit guilt, show remorse, plead for mercy, etc.

No way Trump will do that.

He will call the judge corrupt, claim is behind all this, say the trial was rigged, complain that the courtroom is an icebox, ad nauseam.

The judge will lock him up and flush the key. (2/2)

attorney Emil Bove says the defense does not expect to call any witnesses after Robert Costello.

The judge notes that can change.

That means the Trump defense team called only two witnesses -- one was a legal aide in Blanche's office, the other was Costello who was hostile to everyone and got admonished by the judge. Trump will be lucky if he doesn't get the death sentence.

attorney just asked Judge Merchan to dismiss the charges, claims the proseuction did not prove their case. 🀣 🀣 🀣

The first witness, Robert Costello, has been verbally abusive to the judge and to the prosecution. Judge Merchan ordered the courtroom cleared and apparently chewed out Costello. The trial has resumed, but Costello is still mouthing off to the prosecution.
