Justice Juan Merchan said again this afternoon that he would not require prosecutors to turn over their witness list to Trump’s legal team. Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass said he would tell Trump’s counsel the name of their first witness on Sunday, but if the identity of the witness is revealed on social media before Monday, “that will be the last time.”
Merchan sided with the prosecutors, noting a contempt hearing scheduled for next week in which prosecutors have accused Trump of repeatedly defying a gag order by posting verbal attacks on likely witnesses and others involved in the case.
“Under the circumstances, the people’s response is understandable,” Merchan said. In a tense exchange to end the day, Merchan directed Trump to “have a seat” when he stood up before the proceeding had ended.
