Hmm…
You know…
In any other situation, if a defendent were being disorderly and uncontrollable in the court room, you’d think the judge might order them confined somewhere. Some sort of lockable room, you know until they’re less, shall we say, contemptuous?
Removed by mod
Probably not going to happen because apparently part of the defense strat is trying to aggravate the judge to where he throws him in jail or makes a mistake that could be seen as overreach etc, and give them a plausible avenue for appeal.
“Your honor, I object. Our client is uncontrollable.”

Break for election day I believe
Here’s an important update

Ask the bailiff, not the lawyers.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump was rebuked by Judge Arthur Engoron for giving “speeches” during his testimony on Monday before New York court in a civil fraud trial that will determine the future of his business empire.
“Some of your answers have not been in response to the question,” Engoron told Trump earlier in his testimony, adding that prosecuting attorney Kevin Wallace had been “very patient.”
“Getting ready to head to the Downtown Lower Manhattan Courthouse to testify in one of the many cases that were instigated and brought by my POLITICAL OPPONENT, Crooked Joe Biden, through agencies and surrogates, for purposes of ELECTION INTERFERENCE,” Trump wrote.
“Got a really Biased, Nasty, Club controlled, but often overturned, Judge, a Racist, Evil, and Corrupt Attorney General,” he added.” A dark day for our Country.
The former president has already been fined twice, and threatened with jail time, for violating a gag order put in place by Engoron after he attacked one of the judge’s clerks on social media.
On Friday, Engoron expanded the order, which barred the former president from publicly commenting on members of the court’s staff, to include similar restrictions on the statements of Trump’s attorneys.

Have they released footage of Trump’s testimony? All I have seen is commentary.
No cameras in this courtroom. Georgia will be televised.
