NEW #TrumpTrial THREAD STARTS HERE 🧵 #legal #Trump 1/...

Anna Bower:

Trump has returned to his seat in courtroom 1530.

Keith Davidson is back on the stand.

Here we go!

2/ Pagliery:

After a lunch break, Davidson is back. He slowly strode through the courtroom in his pointy black dress shoes, adjusted his jacket and sat down at the witness stand.

He seems to be a bit uncomfortable as prosecutors explore his texts with entertainment journalist Dylan Howard.

3/ Emptywheel:

All people who love Trump more than his spouse, I guess.

Kaitlan Collins:

Good afternoon from the New York courtroom. Texas AG Ken Paxton, Susie Wiles and Jason Miller are all from the political orbit inside on Trump's behalf, in addition to his son Eric Trump. Wiles and Eric Trump spoke briefly before the judge entered. Court is now underway.

@GottaLaff Via the narrative inside my head:

“[Eric Trump, whining] come on you guys, you’re really fucking with my inheritance here!”

@josh @GottaLaff
What inheritance?

Eric Trump has been close enough to the business to know it's all debt.
