'Boom': Court transcript shows judge shut down Trump lawyer

A list of the order of upcoming prosecution witnesses would typically be given to the defense as a courtesy, but that was not extended to Trump's defense team out of concern that Trump would preemptively attack those witnesses online. The judge agreed that even Trump's lawyers are powerless to prevent Trump from acting out.

So he can set his cult on the jurors and witnesses

[wendymaclean]

This judge is not putting up with Trumps usual BS Justice matters

[neilfisher]

It's way past time to stop playing his game. Hold him accountable like you would anyone else who breaks the law.

[heyou]

Now, tell Blanche to stop calling him president. Go on. I’ll wait.

[fredhoy]

Love it. Call the boy a liar straight up.

[jaynegorup]

Mr. Trump's lawyer doesn't understand he is not President!😂

[joefriday]

Amazingly, I think *EVERYONE* knows Trump’s playbook by now….

[janetritchie]

Good. Thank you Judge Marchan. He knows who and what Trump is.

[vickilawrence]

I LOVE IT! Finally a consequence that’s going to cost him over his stupid, childish, ignorant behavior!

[BogdanTestsSoftware]

When you say the "president", you mean the "defendant"?

[williamstoddard]

So glad to see the judge put him in his place

[Anabee]

The fact that the judge & entire courtroom didnt involuntarily burst into laughter in response to the defense lawyers proposal shows his EXTRAORDINARY self-restraint.

[vasicdude]

This is not the justice system we should be cheering for. Imagine not being able to face your accuser in a trial you were falsely accused. This could happen to you.

[overlord]

Finally, a judge who is not intimidated by Trump!

👏👏👏

[xraytreker]

Trump CAN NOT keep his big mouth shut!!!😡 I totally agree with the judge denying the request!!!

[vebjiqx]

Corruption at the highest level of the court system

[benthebutcher]

You have the right to know your accuser

[maya-parisan]

Stop Trump from angry tweeting? Nah, I have exactly zero faith in that. 😂😂😂

[oceanecastelnau]

This judge runs the Mental Health Court. He is compassionate and wise. He has had many highly disturbed defendants. He knows how to handle Trump.

[AlanBundren-bsqo]

This is such a bogus charge, judge, and prosecutor
