News about gag order, trial and Donald Trump

Trump is NOT testifying in his New York criminal trial.

Judge Merchan was in the process of explaining his ruling on a particular piece of expert witness testimony when Trump lawyer Emil Bove tried to interject. Merchan quickly admonished Bove. "Just relax," Merchan said.

"There's a likelihood that we will rest today," Trump attorney Todd Blanche tells Judge Merchan.

There has been confidence of some on the Trump defense team since the start of the trial that there will be a hung jury. Hung juries are relatively unusual. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/21/nyregion/trump-trial-hush-money/4704cfa1-e28c-56f1-8b5f-e1f992ddcbd6?smid=url-share
