Judge clears courtroom to admonish Trump witness in 'hush money' trial

Former Donald Trump attorney Michael Cohen wrapped up his testimony Monday in the former president's New York criminal trial. CBS News national correspondent Errol Barnett has the details.

Too much truth for that no good judge couldn't handle it.

[jeanjones]

National enquirer, Stormy Daniels, and then this guy... Wow what an impressive list of witnesses..Great case you got here, dems

[texasrex]

Sounds like the judge doesn't like the case falling apart he looks quite biased

[YolandaAnneBrown]

Is it my imagination or does that guy look like a "Goodfella"? Or one of the "Sopranos"?

[jeanettemartinez]

Judge, if you don’t have sin in your life cast the first stone.

[JP-ehee]

No wonder they don't want it to be televised. That judge needs to step down.

[RedStatesPovertyWatch]

If a witness is admonished and continues to misbehave, the judge could take stronger actions, like holding them in contempt of court. This can result in fines or even jail time.

So who did Merchan contact and talk to when he left the courtroom after losing control of the case?

[macjac]

Democraps are so desperate to get the orange man gone! 😂😂😂😂 never have seen a party work so hard to get 1 opposition gone

[DrakeSmith-tnij]

Today Robert Costello has acted in a manner that is unacceptable and unbecoming of a licensed attorney.

[anaverageamerican]

Costello is NOT a Trump linked lawyer.

[sandialdrich]

Political pols Don’t add up to anything.

[HatBilly]

Listen, independent voters, will be the voters who will choose the next president.
Sad it is a repeat of the last election.

If Trump were s baseball manager, he would argue balls and strikes on every pitch, then complain about his First Amendment rights when the Umpire throws him out.

[DJBIGCG]

Look at all of this mess Trump is going through lol. I am going to vote for Trump in 2024 👍🏿

[CaptainCologne]

America already fired the orange blob. Some people can’t take a hint.

[brianchase]

The GOP has dug itself into such a deep hole over the last 7-8 years and they just keep digging. My former party is unsavable at this point, and it will take at least a generation to overcome. Quite possibly two generations.

[nappybiscuit]

I think the judge was just tired. Having said that, the judge can not talk to a witness like that. Especially one that is a well respected lawyer. It shows bias on the part of the judge could get him in trouble.

[jcc]

How at this point could anyone vote Democrat?!
Don't be their fool?!

[jeanettemartinez]

We need President Trump as our President Trump. As our president in 2024. My prayers are with President Trump and his family. Our God is in control over all.
