Judge Juan Merchan has made it clear that the defense in a particular case must stop repeatedly filing pre-motion letters and motions in an attempt to challenge decisions that the judge has already made. Merchan emphasized the importance of accepting his rulings, stating, 'There comes a point where you accept my rulings. I've entertained your motions, I've entertained your arguments in good faith. At some point, you need to accept my motions.'
During the proceedings, it was noted that Donald Trump, who was present with his attorneys, appeared to be glaring at Judge Merchan as he delivered his message to the defense team.
