Justice Merchan interrupts Pecker's testimony to say it's time to "call it a day". Believe it or not, Trump actually had two hearings today, in neighbouring courthouses, here in Lower Manhattan.
As a reminder, we're leaving early today because the Jewish holiday of Passover begins tonight, and a juror also has an emergency dental appointment. The New York Attorney General Letitia James had challenged the bond that Trump posted in his unrelated civil fraud case, which concluded earlier this year, citing concerns about how it was filed.
The judge tells the jury to put the case out of their mind and not discuss it with anyone. But during a sparsely attended hearing today, Judge Arthur Engoron allowed the bond to stand after Trump's lawyers agreed to some stipulations from James' office.
David Pecker just left the witness stand. As he walks past the defendant's table, he seemed, from my vantage point a few rows back, to nod in Trump's direction with a slight smile as if saying hello to an old friend. It is a much needed relief for Trump, as he sat through his first criminal trial just a block away.
He then exited via a side door.
