OK- now in Trump Trial "Sandoval" hearing, Part 59, seated 30 feet behind Trump. This hearing will be about what the prosecutors want to ask Trump if he testifies. Inner City Press wrote book on Carroll trial & will live tweet, thread belowamazon.com/dp/B0CTFPXKGM
All rise!
Prosecutor Hoffinger: Before the Sandoval hearing, we move to seal four exhibits, including Michael Cohen's contacts.
Trump's lawyer Bove: PII, fine. But they are trying to seal trial exhibits.
[There's a loud banging, unexplained]
Justice Merchan: Sit down. I'm signing the order.
Trump's lawyer Bove: We object to the People raising the issues in their Sandoval notice. They start with Judge Engoran's findings. They cannot be used to cross examine President Trump should he testify

All rise!
Clerk: This is the People of the State of New York against Donald J. Trump.
Justice Merchan: I'm told that all 22 jurors are already here. Any reason we cannot bring them in? We are still working on the temperature in the courtroom
[It *is* cold]
Justice Merchan: Jurors, you're to answer the questionnaire. Please begin by reading your three digit number out loud.
428 (lady) I have anxiety. I may not be able to not be emotional. People can figure out I'm here, just from not being present.
