During a court proceeding, lawyers representing both the defense and prosecution were seen engaging in discussions with Judge Juan Merchan. The scene unfolded as Trump's attorney, Emil Bove, made a brief trip back to the defense table to retrieve a notebook for a sidebar conversation. Meanwhile, Trump himself was seated at the defense table alongside his attorney, Susan Necheles.
Observers noted that Trump appeared to be closely observing the interactions between Judge Merchan and the attorneys from both sides. Notably, attorney Todd Blanche, representing Trump, and prosecutor Susan Hoffinger were actively engaged in dialogue, with the latter taking the lead in the conversation.
