PEOPLE V. TRUMP

Prosecutors rest their case in Trump’s hush money trial. The jury spent more than 4 weeks listening to prosecutors’ witnesses testify about Trump’s alleged involvement in the scheme to cover up a payment to a porn star.

Trump’s defense team now has an opportunity to present its own evidence.

Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger kicks off the cross-examination of Costello.
Justice Merchan ordered the courtroom cleared after he admonished Costello about “proper decorum” in his courtroom.
Costello testifies that Cohen told him 'Trump knew nothing about' the Daniels payment.
The defense has called Robert Costello, a lawyer who has publicly accused Michael Cohen of lying.

Costello is answering the prosecution's questions with combative responses that convey his irritation.
