This morning, Cohen is back on the stand.

I’ll be reporting it all alongside @AnnaBower for @lawfare.

Good morning from 100 Centre St for Day 17 of in Trump’s NY criminal trial.

If you appreciate a good line, this one is a thing of beauty.

I’m here w/ @AnnaBower for @lawfare to report on the much-anticipated cross of Michael Cohen, expected today 🧵⚖️ Image NYC’s hottest club this week truly is 100 Centre St.

Line sitters were maxed out by early evening yesterday. I’m also hearing that this morning one especially enterprising young man parked himself at the front of the line and sold his non-existent spot for a cool $400.

Good morning from 100 Centre St for Trump’s NY Criminal Trial. Today’s episode will very likely be: “The Michael Cohen Show.”

I’ll be reporting it all alongside @AnnaBower and Ben Wittes for @lawfare, join me, won’t you? 🧵⚖️ Image Cohen, Trump’s then fixer, now turncoat has lingered over this entire trial, mostly as a punchline. Even the accountants got in on the fun.

In testimony and recorded clips, we get an image of Cohen the enforcer, Cohen the “pants-on-fire” panicker, and Cohen the self-promoter.

Good morning from 100 Centre St for DAY 14 of Trump’s NY criminal trial and the second day of Stormy Daniels’ testimony.

It’ll be a packed house today. I’ve never seen this many reporters line up this early.

I’m here for @lawfare (if I get in!) 🧵⚖️ Image If you’re in line to report the first ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president, stay in line!

What exactly does DA Bragg have to prove in Trump's NY criminal trial?

For @lawfare, @qjurecic and I wade through the legal mire to answer questions that will only grow in importance as we approach closing arguments and a potential verdict lawfaremedia.org/article/what-m… In-the-weeds legal questions have lingered since the indictment dropped. Chief among them are:

Do prosecutors have to prove that Trump committed one of the three object offenses?

And if so, does the jury have to agree on which one?

And to what standard of evidence?

It’s a gorgeous morning at 100 Centre St (pictured left), where I’ll be covering Lucky Day 13 for Trump’s hush-money-election-interference NY criminal trial for @lawfare

Join me for the ride 🧵⚖️ Image The press and the public don’t know yet who today’s witness is, but the defendant, who found out yesterday, doesn’t seem too happy about it. Image

Good morning from 100 Centre St for DAY 12 of Trump’s NY criminal hush-money-election-interference trial.

Follow along for my gavel-to-gavel live coverage, alongside the indefatigable @AnnaBower and Ben Wittes for @lawfare 🧵⚖️ Image It’s a lively Monday morning. The public line is longer than usual, and includes a group of young people, maybe high schoolers.

It also includes a woman from Rhode Island, who is in town for a conference. “What better sight seeing to do than go to the Trump trial?” she says. Image

It’s a foggy, misty morning at 100 Centre St, where I’m waiting to enter the courtroom for Day 10 of Trump’s NY criminal trial.

I’ll be reporting it all today, alongside @AnnaBower and Ben Wittes, for @lawfare. Join me! 🧵⚖️ Image Its a quiet morning thus far, with nary a protester in sight.

Collect Pond Park, just opposite the courthouse, is totally empty. Image

Trump has been held in contempt for 9 out of 10 allegations that he violated the gag order, (all but the first I believe), and fined $1,000 for each of them.

There's also a hearing later this week regarding an additional 4 allegations. In his decision, Merchan dismantles Trump's argument that reposts don't violate the gag order: "There can be no doubt whatsoever, that [Trump's] intent and purpose when reposting is to communicate to his audience that he endorses and adopts the posted statement as his own" Image

Good morning from 100 Centre Street for Day 4 of Trump’s NY criminal trial.

Yesterday we hit a milestone: a full jury + one alternate.

Today, we hope to hit another: empaneling the five more alternates needed before we start oral arguments.

Follow for updates 🧵⚖️ Image Justice Juan Merchan has been telling empaneled jurors to expect to return Monday at 9:30 a.m. for oral arguments.

But yesterday we started jury selection by taking two steps back, after two jurors were excused for reasons related to public disclosure of their identities.
