Let's take a quick look back while court is on lunch. Madeline Halpert
Former President Donald Trump has kept a close eye on the prospective jurors when they were questioned by prosecutor Joshua Steinglass earlier today. Reporting from court
He looked directly at the box as each prospective juror answered "yes" when asked by Steinglass whether they could return a guilty verdict. We're back in court and we're hearing complaints from Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche.
Part of Steinglass's questioning winding up to that important question appeared to annoy Trump's attorneys. He said over lunch, they've been looking over the social media posts of prospective jurors.
He asked whether they could follow the logic that if someone asks another person to commit a crime on their behalf, then they are responsible. To clarify the question, he used the example of a husband using a hitman to kill his wife. He says those posts conflict with what they've said in court today.
That didn't please the defence team.
