In reply to the discussion: Trump's lawyer gets called out by the judge for trying to mislead the jury. [View all]unblock
(52,893 posts)25. Lawyer shows witness blank sheet of paper. Judge notices.
Judge send jury out of the room so the judge and lawyers can discuss the matter out of earshot. Judge tells lawyer he has to apologize to jury. Jury is brought back. Lawyer apologizes.
Presumably the lawyer was made to explain that it was a blank sheet of paper, or at least that it wasn't the evidence he claimed it was.
