Judge Juan Merchan has completed his review of the issues he wanted to examine and has now invited both sides to raise any additional points they wish to discuss.
During the proceedings, Trump attorney Emil Bove brought up an instruction related to bias and Trump that he claims was altered from the Trump Org. trial. Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass countered this by stating that such an instruction was unnecessary in this case as any potential bias had already been addressed during the voir dire process. Voir dire is a crucial phase in a trial where potential jurors are questioned by the judge and attorneys to ensure they can be impartial.
