This morning, the trial of the 45th President of the United States and leading candidate to become the 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, charged by the Soros funded Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will continue with convicted felon Michael Cohen retaking the stand for more cross examination by Todd Blanche, or as Cohen so eloquently put it: “crying little shit.”

BREAKING: @mattgaetz and other members of Congress expected to join President Trump in the courthouse today.

A MODERN LIBERAL PARENT'S QUANDARY
BREAKING IN NEW COURTROOM - COORDINATING WITH BIDEN? After Biden “challenged” Trump to a debate on CNN yesterday and mocked him by saying, "I hear you’re free on Wednesdays," Judge Juan Merchan just informed the jury that they may need to work next Wednesday and asked them to check their schedules during the next break. Wednesday was the only day in the week Trump was not tied up in court.

Full disclosure: I will be reporting for the first half of the morning from the overflow room before I will be moving into the courtroom later this morning.
The 45th POTUS & leading candidate to become the 47th POTUS, Donald J. Trump has entered the courtroom through the rear entrance.
He is joined by his legal team of Todd Blanche, Susan Necheles and Emil Bove along with @EricTrump, @mattgaetz, other to be reported on Members of Congress along with Senior Advisors @BorisEP & @NatalieJHarp, among others.
The Soros funded DA’s office is already in the courtroom, sans Alvin Bragg.
Merchan has entered the courtroom and is seated.
Again, after Todd Blanche introduces his client as “President Trump”, Merchan says, “Good Morning Mr. Trump.”
Blanche asks to approach the bench when Merchan asks about scheduling. All the lawyers, sans Susan Necheles, are huddled around Merchan.
Lawyers are still at Merchan’s bench, long discussion. Susan Necheles has now slid over a seat into what has been Emil Bove’s seat to sit next to President Trump and the two are in conversation. As I write this, Necheles moves back to her, two to the left of President Trump.
Susan Necheles has moved back to the seat directly to the left of President Donald Trump. This is the longest aside of Merchan and the lawyers that I remember. Necheles is now back in her traditional seat two to the left of the 45th President of the United States and the leading candidate to become the 47th President of the United States.
Lawyers are back at their respective benches. The first to get back is ADA & former Biden Senior Justice Department Official, Matthew Colangelo.
Merchan apologizes for the whispering and says we are ready to get started. It does not appear that they will tell us what the long aside was. Waiting on convicted felon Michael Cohen to retake the stand.
Perjurer of the United States Congress,
@MichaelCohen212
has entered the courtroom, stage right walking behind President Donald J. Trump as the convicted felon takes the witness stand.
Cohen does not attempt to make eye contact with President Trump as he walks by him.
Cohen is wearing what appears to be a black suit with a yellow tie. Unclear if it’s a Trump tie or not, I’d assume, not.
The jury has entered the courtroom and are now seated.
Merchan talking about scheduling saying that if it’s possible, we may have to “work next Wednesday”.
Blanche wishes convicted felon Michael Cohen a good morning and Cohen wishes Blanche a good morning in return.
Blanche now asking about Det. Rosenberg, on behalf of the DA’s office, texting with Cohen, in 2021. To refresh, Blanche was going down this line of questioning to show that Cohen was looking for a lighter sentence by cooperating with the DA.
Soros funded DA’s office interrupts asking to approach.
Quick break and they are back, it was an un-redacted document when it should have been redacted.
Blanche asking Cohen to read text documents privately.
Cohen says he recognizes those texts and they accurately reflect the communications with Rosenberg.
Prosecutions steps in to question Cohen if they are out of context.
Cohen: “I believe so”
Blanche to continue…
Blanche asks if the texts between Cohen and Detective Rosenberg said they were going to “hold Trump accountable.”
Soros funded DA’s office immediately objects, Merchan sustains the objection.
More later......
