“I want to stress, Mr Trump, that you have an absolute right to testify at trial,” Merchan said in open court. The morning started with the continued cross-examination of Robert Costello, an attorney whom Trump’s defense called in an effort to discredit As a result that relationship, Cohen said he worried that Costello would disclose things to Giuliani who, in turn, would tell Trump. Costello, who has rejected that there was any pressure, was asked about an email he wrote to Cohen that read: “If you really believe you are not being supported by your former boss, then you should make your position known.”
Merchan sent jurors out of the room and, after warning Costello not to do this, snapped: “Are you staring me down right now?” and ordered officers to clear the courtroom. An attorney for the press tried to address Merchan, who did not allow him to do so, even though it’s common practice for judges to do this.
