  1. The #verdict must be unanimous on the primary crime falsification of business records.

    Once #jurors inform the court they have reached a verdict, Justice Juan #Merchan will summon the parties to the courtroom to hear it read by the foreperson.

    Merchan must still affirm the verdict & enter a final judgment.

  2. There’s a #verdict

    They request 30 minutes to fill out the forms.

    Trump, who had been smiling a minute ago, is suddenly serious after the judge’s alert that there’s a verdict.

    His arms are now crossed across his chest as he whispers with his lawyers.

  3. As Justice #Merchan re-reads the #JuryInstructions, #Trump has had his eyes closed, & his chin has sometimes slumped to his chest. At other times, his head has been fallen backwards — just waiting for his mouth to drop open & let flies enter. #NodFarter

    Merchan is now in the middle of p 17 of the instructions, explaining jurors can consider whether any #witness would benefit from his or her own #testimony. (hmm)

  4. Break over. Justice #Merchan thanks the jurors for their flexibility & calls #Steinglass back to the lectern. Before they returned, the judge told Steinglass that he needed to wrap up — at least for the day — by 8PM (wuh?). If he does not conclude by then, it sounded as if it was possible that Steinglass would have to conclude tomorrow.

    Wonder how the #NodFarter aka #Trump will hold up…

  9. Justice #Merchan tells the attys he will get them a final version of the #JuryInstructions by end of the day Thurs.

    Court is adjourned.

    Testimony in the #TrumpTrial is over.

    The jury will be back in a week for closing arguments.

    Thanks for reading 🥰

  10. After arguing for 5 mins, a word in the #JuryInstructions is now plural — “crime” is now “crimes”

    Defense & prosecution debate if the instructions should be available to the #public & #press.

    (#Trump is asleep — #NodFarter)

    Justice #Merchan jokes they’ll next address “the most challenging issue” — how to pronounce a word.

    He spelled out “eleemosynary,” which means having to do w/charity.

    “Why do we even have it?” Merchan asked. The lawyers don’t know, & it’s removed.

    #law #TrumpTrial

  11. With defense resting their case, we now know definitively that #Trump did not #testify in his own #defense of 34 #criminal charges.

    As he exited the courtroom, & raised his hand in a fist, Trump did not answer reporters’ questions about why he had not testified in the trial.

    #law #TrumpTrial #CatchAndKill #conspiracy #ElectionInterference #HushMoney #MobTactics #GagOrder #StochasticTerrorism #StormyDaniels #KarenMcDougal #NodFarter

  12. Per a pool report, #Trump confirmed that the defense will be resting today, as expected, in remarks outside the courtroom in the hallway. “We’ll be resting pretty quickly,” he said. “Resting meaning resting the case. I won’t be resting. I don’t rest. I’d like to rest sometimes but I don’t get to rest.” #NodFarter

    #criminal #law #TrumpTrial #MobTactics

  13. Prosecutors now have 3 days to prepare re-direct, when they will seek to build #MichaelCohen back up & refocus the jurors on the most important elements of their case & the actual charges for which they’ve presented mountains of evidence regardless of whether Cohen is a liar or not.

  14. #MichaelCohen has been called back to the stand. The jury to be brought in.

    #Trump atty Todd #Blanche continues cross-examination.
    Blanche asks about texts between Cohen & the DA’s office.

    Cohen agrees that texts shown w/ DA investigator are from around same time that he told a grand jury he was going to hold Trump accountable.

    We are now on our third sidebar today.

  15. #Court officers explain, yet again, the courtroom's no-cellphone policy to the people here with #Trump.

    The lawyers and the judge are having one of the longest sidebars that have taken place during this trial, if not the longest. Their voices are louder than usual, though the words they're saying aren't clear.

    #law #Trump #CatchAndKill #conspiracy #ElectionInterference #HushMoney #MobTactics #GagOrder #StochasticTerrorism #StormyDaniels #KarenMcDougal #NodFarter

  16. #Trump arrives in the courtroom, trailed by his son #EricTrump, his lawyers, as well as #Republican members of the #House of Representatives, including #LaurenBoebert & #MattGaetz.

    The entourage is so large today that some people are being made to sit in the back. Others had to leave & go to Trump’s hold room.

    If they do today what was done Tues, I hope Merchan hold Trump in contempt of the #GagOrder.

  17. #TrumpTrial 🧵 Thursday 16 May 2024

    Cross-examination of #MichaelCohen resumes, an opportunity for the defense to poke holes in his testimony & perhaps trip up or provoke the state’s key witness. The questioning of Cohen, #Trump’s fmr fixer, is the beginning of the end of Trump’s #criminal trial, which began April 15 & might conclude before Memorial Day weekend at this pace.

    #law #CatchAndKill #conspiracy #ElectionInterference #HushMoney #MobTactics #NodFarter #StormyDaniels

  18. #Blanche tries, for a 2nd time, to contrast #MichaelCohen’s inability to recall his conversations w/prosecutors to his very clear recollection of the important conversations w/ #Trump.

    Blanche reviews Cohen’s #criminal history & his 2 separate pleas to federal #crimes, the 1st in Aug 2018 & the 2nd in Nov. In the 2nd, he pleaded guilty to lying to Congress.

    [#NodFarter is sleeping again]

  19. As #MichaelCohen testifies, #Trump has dropped his head repeatedly & appears to be struggling to stay awake. #NodFarter

    Blanche asks Cohen questions about the properties he has owned in Trump buildings. Prosecutors told a story about Cohen loving Trump until he felt he was betrayed in 2018. Blanche emphasizes that indeed there was a time when Cohen was devoted to Trump.

    #criminal #law #TrumpTrial #CatchAndKill #conspiracy #ElectionInterference #HushMoney #MobTactics

  20. #MichaelCohen has so far remained calm, sitting w/his hands clasped in his lap.
    He's taking a beat before answering his questions & appears to be choosing his words carefully. #Trump is sitting w/his eyes closed at the defense table.

    #Blanche is almost certainly trying to get under Cohen's skin.

    #criminal #law #TrumpTrial #CatchAndKill #conspiracy #ElectionInterference #MobTactics #NodFarter

  21. There are two objections, quickly sustained, and Justice #Merchan has already asked the lawyers to approach.

    Merchan, whispering to Todd Blanche at his desk during a fast sidebar, is shaking his head & speaking to #Blanche, looking him dead in the eyes.

    Blanche, frowning, returns to the lectern.

  22. Todd #Blanche, a #Trump defense lawyer, is on cross-examination of #MichaelCohen. He begins by asking Cohen whether or not they have spoken before. Blanche says Cohen went on TikTok & called him a “crying little shit.”
    [petty mf]

    Cohen says that it sounds like something he would say, but the prosecutors object and the judge sustains it.

    #criminal #law #Trump #TrumpTrial #CatchAndKill #conspiracy #ElectionInterference #HushMoney #MobTactics #NodFarter #GagOrder #StormyDaniels #KarenMcDougal

  23. #Hoffinger, the prosecutor, asks #MichaelCohen why he paid the money to #StormyDaniels. Cohen says he did so to #influence the #election, & that he did so at #Trump’s direction. This is a summary of the key themes & may signal that direct examination is coming to an end soon.

    Trump’s lawyers are on edge thru this part of Cohen’s testimony. #Blanche & #Bove pass notes.

    Trump, however, appears to be dozing peacefully. #NodFarter

  24. An incredible number of hours went into covering up #Trump's alleged affairs in 2016. #MicgaelCohen & the team at The #NationalEnquirer went to elaborate lengths & constantly communicated about how to keep #women quiet. Accounting departments were engaged. Front companies were created. Misleading invoices were produced.

  29. #Trump seems to have paid attention to very little of #MichaelCohen's testimony so far. He spent the first hour or so sitting still at the defense table with his eyes closed. After the morning break he's been awake but reading through printouts as he often does - likely news clippings printed by his staff.

    NFL
    I am kinda surprised that the #Nodfarter hasn’t selected the dumbest coach on earth as his running mate on the GOP Dementia Ticket. 🙄

  31. #Trump brought a posse today.

    Senator #JDVance, Eric Trump, Boris Ephsteyn, his *legal* adviser; Alina Habba, one of the lawyers from his civil fraud trial; US House Rep #NicoleMalliotakis; Senator #TommyTuberville; & the #Iowa & #Alabama attorneys general.
    This is the biggest entourage we’ve seen him with so far.
    He must be scared.

  33. Cross-examination of #Manochio was extremely brief.

    Next witness, Tracey #Menzies, works at HarperCollins, a publishing company.

    As happened on Tues, prosecution shows a book authored by #Trump, "Think Big: Make it Happen in Business and Life." The cover image shows Trump shouting. The witness, Tracey Menzies, says of the cover, "His name is quite large."

    #NodFarter is snoozing through this testimony.

  38. #StormyDaniels testifies that her lawyer, Michael #Avenatti, filed a #defamation claim against #Trump against her wishes. She says she wished he had not done so because she felt it was too risky. (Avenatti, a risk-taker by nature, was sentenced to prison in 2022 for stealing from Daniels.)

    Per Jonathon Swan: As Daniels was testifying about her defamation claim against Trump, the former president appeared for a while to be solidly asleep. #NodFarter

  39. #HopeHicks is asked about #KeithSchiller, who was #Trump’s longtime bodyguard. Schiller is a fmr NYPD detective.

    Hicks is asked about others who were in Trump's close circle, such as the #TrumpOrganization's fmr CFO, #AllenWeisselberg, & Trump’s assistant, #RhonaGraff.

    Trump’s eyes are glued onto Hicks as she begins her testimony. This is the most alert he’s been since the trial started.

  40. The #TrumpCampaign has removed 2 posts from its campaign website that Justice Merchan determined were violations of a gag order preventing #Trump from attacking potential #witnesses. Both posts involved #MichaelCohen.

    It appears that the 7 social media posts that were also found to be violations of the #GagOrder have been deleted as well. Justice #Merchan ordered the posts' removal by this afternoon.

  41. #Trump is leaning forward, reading an email that is being read into evidence about #GaryFarro missing a call from #MichaelCohen

    A lol moment:

    Farro testified, “We wouldn't do anything in adult entertainment."

    Asked what he meant by that, Farro says, somewhat hesitantly: "Porno?"
