Testimony Resumes Tuesday In Trump Trial

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s lawyers have pressed the judge overseeing his hush money trial to stop the case from going to the jury and throw out the charges. The defense request came Monday after prosecutors concluded their presentation of evidence. Judge Juan M. Merchan did not immediately rule on the request. It was made at the end of a busy day that included the judge briefly kicking reporters out of the courtroom after he admonishing a defense witness for his behavior on the witness stand. The trial will resume Tuesday with more testimony from Robert Costello, who Trump’s lawyers called to the stand to attack the credibility of prosecutors’ star witness, Michael Cohen.
