I am preparing myself for the inevitable firehouse of bs that will be spewing from him/his camp. 🙄

IDK why I am listening to the coverage of this, they don't know anything lol. But it's like a train wreck, I can't look away.

Are there any YouTube streams ? As far as I'm aware, no video is allowed in the courtroom but I believe audio is? Or at least reporters are in there and are able to write out what's happening. I'm only half paying attention to be honest, my four year old is extra busy this morning. |

Post in full under spoiler tag: Judge Merchan allows the following exhibits into evidence:
The prosecution discussed the admissibility of a summer 2015 meeting at Trump Tower between Michael Cohen and then-National Enquirer publisher David Pecker.
Prosecutors asked to admit articles with pro-Trump headlines and negative headlines about GOP primary opponents that were shown to Trump before publication so he could suggest changes or approve them.
The prosecution argued the "whole point of the meeting" was for the Enquirer to distort what information the public got about Trump.
Merchan said he would allow these exhibits: "This is necessary to complete the narrative of what took place." |

Just amazing how flagrantly this arsehole violates gag orders.
But unless and until he faces any sort of consequences....

He posted a pic of the judge's daughter after the gag order was put in place and.....crickets. Why on earth would he stop? It's maddening. |

Are there any YouTube streams ? No cameras In the courtroom, which I am not a fan off. I am streaming CNN/MSNBC who are reading updates from journalists in the courtroom and then talking about them so I can do my actual work today. |

Reports are coming out about him nodding off during this morning’s hearings? I suspect they over sedated him versus an ongoing health condition. It will be interesting to see if his behavior gets more agitated as the day goes on and his morning dose wears off.
