During a recent court session, Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass requested confirmation from Judge Juan Merchan regarding the court schedule for Monday and Tuesday in light of the upcoming Passover holiday. The judge indicated that the plan was to proceed with court proceedings until 2 p.m. ET on both days.
Trump attorney Todd Blanche expressed willingness to break for lunch on Monday but raised concerns about sitting in court on Tuesday due to the holiday. He explained that one attorney on the team would be observing the holiday for the entire day.
In response, Judge Merchan acknowledged the significance of the holiday but noted that it was not a court-designated holiday. He indicated a preference for continuing with proceedings on Tuesday despite the holiday observance by one of the attorneys.
It is evident from the exchange that considerations are being made to accommodate the holiday schedule of individuals involved in the court proceedings while also emphasizing the importance of adhering to the court's schedule.
