During the ongoing trial, the jury has been presented with a series of National Enquirer articles that praise Donald Trump. This development came after a defense request, which led Judge Juan Merchan to provide specific instructions to the jury regarding the exhibit.
Judge Merchan clarified that the National Enquirer articles were being entered into evidence for a limited purpose. Specifically, they were to be used to demonstrate the publication dates of the articles and not for any other purpose. This directive aimed to ensure that the jury's focus remained on the relevant facts of the case.
