During the ongoing trial, defense attorney Emil Bove has requested a limiting instruction in relation to various legal agreements that have been brought up in court. This includes Michael Cohen's guilty plea, American Media Inc.'s non-prosecution agreement, and the Federal Election Commission settlement.
Judge Juan Merchan has expressed confidence in the appropriateness of the limiting instructions he has provided throughout the trial. The defense has proposed an instruction emphasizing that AMI did not admit to any violations of the law in the agreements.
