The jury has also requested that they be provided with headphones for the laptop.

In asking for the headphones, the jury likely wants to listen to certain of the recordings, which could include the Sept. 2016 conversation that Steinglass encouraged them to revisit in his closing. He had told them that if they listened to it with the volume up, they would hear a reference to a possible $150,000 payment to Karen McDougal during that conversation.


David had asked me when he should anticipate being paid back the $150,000. He needed … he wanted the $150,000 back because it was too much money for him to hide from the CEO of the parent company,” Cohen said. “And he had also just laid out $30,000 previous. So he was putting pressure on me to speak to Mr. Trump to get the money back,” Cohen told jurors.

The conversation, which took place on the morning of Sept. 6, 2016, was played Thursday as part of the testimony by expert witness Douglas Daus, who handles the processing of electronic devices for the Manhattan district attorney's office.

Cohen, Trump's former attorney, secretly recorded the conversation, which lasts about two minutes, during which he and Trump seem to discuss making a $150,000 payment to Karen McDougal to keep her quiet about the alleged affair, which Trump has denied ever took place.

1. Sounds like a careful jury trying to do things right, just as instructed and according to law. I think they are ...

... going to return at least some of the counts as guilty.

[Hugin]

2. I agree...

The jury is giving the case the deliberations it deserves.

[marble falls]

3. They're certainly asking the questions I think I'd be asking.

5. An engaged jury is bad news for Trump...

His whole life has been a mile wide and an inch deep. Anyone peeling back that veneer is going to see some ugly things.

6. Yugely bad for TFG, bigly bad.

[Kid Berwyn]

4. They want to hear Donnie ask about the "150 thousand"...

...with their own ears.

Guy must never have heard about one's own mouth being one's own worst enemy.

7. Fucker thinks he's invisable to the rest of us, that we can't see him or hear him.

8. Hmmmm

The emperor’s new clothes…. Although that does seem a disturbing, disgusting way of looking at it😝
