White smoke has begun flowing over 100 Centre St

I’d like to be the first to thank jurors for getting the verdict in before the print deadline

THERE IS A VERDICT (to be shared in 20 mins)

You can really tell the Trump trial journos are gluttons for punishment because even though we’ve been offered a room with cushioned seats and the ability to make phone calls/talk to each other, the majority of us are quietly sitting in the courtroom in hardwood pews

NEW: A guilty verdict won’t sway that many voters come November, according to a new Marist poll released today. In fact, 15% of voters said they were more likely to vote for Trump if convicted www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Michael Cohen already has a thick New York accent. The court reporter rereading his testimony is spot on with the “awe-fice”

As the two court reporters read Pecker’s testimony, I couldn’t help but wonder, should journos reconsider editing out filler words in quotes?

Little known fact about the NYC Courts system is all court reporters must have thick city accents

We’re done with the rereading of jury instructions. Judge Juan Merchan to jurors: “I believe that concludes my response to the first question. Was that responsive to you? Okay.”

Jurors are not given the physical testimony to review, so they have to request testimony be read back to them. That’s why Merchan is currently rereading his instructions and we stayed OT last night to listen to Todd Blanche/Joshua Steinglass discuss which excerpts to include

Jurors today will listen to excerpts of AMI honcho David Pecker's testimony regarding the infamous Trump Tower meeting between himself, Donald Trump and Michael Cohen. Here's a recap of his testimony as the trial's first witness over a month ago (!) t.co/8nPpyJiC8O

Hello from 100 Centre St, day two of jury deliberations on the Donald Trump hush money case. Jurors gave another note, asking for headphones for use of the evidence laptop, and they were offered speakers as well

Everyone’s asking “could today be the day” like a patient girlfriend reading her boyfriend’s midafternoon shower during their trip to Santorini

Joshua Steinglass is nearing hour six of summation. Someone play the music!!

Jurors, reporters, lawyers, Merchan and Trump have been sitting at 100 Centre St for nearly 11 hours. Here’s what each sided argued in closing arguments: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Closing arguments feels a lot like teachers spending the week before a state test telling you all the answers so the zone school gets more funding

Merchan just informed us jurors have made childcare arrangements until 8PM

Sure Cohen made and received a lot of calls in the half hour before wiring money for Stormy’s story, but you’ve never seen my Catholic mother spread news of a church lady’s daughter giving birth just eight months after her wedding

Trump trial bingo but it’s every Seinfeld reference ADA Joshua Steinglass makes
