New York Times: “Trump hasn’t spoken publicly since entering court this morning. But during this most recent break, he posted ‘BORING!’ on Truth Social with no context. The timing suggests he is not so energized by Joshua Steinglass’s closing argument, which started more than 3 hours ago.”
“He also posted ‘FILIBUSTER!,’ which is not a thing in court.”

“As the jurors filed into the Manhattan courtroom, day after day, almost none of them would look at Donald Trump. It’s one of those unsettling signs for defendants and their lawyers who worry about a guilty verdict,” The Bulwark reports.
“Those worries have only grown in Trump’s orbit as allies have all but abandoned hope of acquittal. Even Trump, though he railed Monday on social media about the judge and the case, has privately sounded a note of resignation…”
“But there is one clear hope MAGAville clings to: a hung jury that results in a mistrial.”
“If that happens, Trump allies suspect that it will be chiefly due to the one juror who has made friendly eye contact with Trump from time to time as the jury enters the room and walks right past the defense table.”

“The judge overseeing former President Trump’s New York criminal trial rebuked defense attorney Todd Blanche during closing arguments Tuesday, calling his suggestion that Trump could go to jail ‘outrageous,’” Axios reports.
“Blanche suggested to the jury Tuesday that Trump could go to jail if he’s convicted.”
The judge shot back saying: “That was outrageous, Mr. Blanche. Someone who’s been a prosecutor as long as you have, someone who’s been an attorney as long as you have knows that is highly inappropriate.”
He added: “It is simply not allowed, period. It’s hard for me to imagine how that was accidental.”
