The judge is now granted a 15-minute break. Hoping cooler heads will prevail.
I'm telling you, if you or I had done any of this we would all be in jail. This is the problem with our justice system. The rich and political can act like a fool in court.
A late friend of mine would have said there are rules and then there are rules and clearly hear that case applies.
Judge Arthur Engoron has appeared more restrained in his criticisms of Trump. He has stayed silent for most of Trump's testimony.
The former president has continued to provide lengthy answers.
At one point, the judge shook his head at one of Trump's answers about Mar-a-Lago.
He just chimed in for the first time in a while to say "irrelevant, irrelevant, answer the question", when Trump was talking about Trump International Golf Club in Scotland.
Trump had said it was "an unbelievable site".
I dislike Trump's court case.
Not because I support Donald Trump or because I dislike Donald Trump, either. My feelings about Donald Trump on a whole is irrelevant to why I dislike Donald Trump's court case.
I dislike this court case because Donald Trump, like many wealthy or political individuals, is being given special treatment. Period.
You or I would be in jail if we yelled at a judge in their own courtroom, or refused to answer questions or attempt to give self persona speeches. 🙄
"Judge Engoron is attempting to redirect the court again as Trump continues to go on about his golf course in Scotland.
“Do you want to let the witness ramble on, be unresponsive?” Engoron asks Kevin Wallace of the attorney general's team.
Trump's attorney Chris Kise chimes in to say he thinks Trump's response is a "brilliant answer".
This prompts a chuckle from Wallace. "

It seems the judge has basically yielded at this point to Donald Trump's nonsense.
That's insane.
Anyone else would be held in contempt of court. But nope, instead Donald Trump is holding the court in contempt and everyone is just going alone with this nonsense! 🙄
8 seconds of video sums up my thoughts nicely concerning how the court seems to be allowing Donald Trump to say or do whatever he wants.
Court artist Jane Rosenberg has just published this sketch of Donald Trump on the stand.
It shows the former president being questioned by Kevin Wallace of the New York Attorney General's office.
-- I love how they almost make him look like the demon with his eyebrows. They look horn like when drawn.
I really hope court artists are never replaced with AI, as they put their own personality in to their drawings.
