HuffPost
The New York Times journalist also highlighted a Trump team tactic that felt "like a losing prospect."
The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman on Thursday pinpointed the development in Donald Trump’s hush money trial that she believes signaled Judge Juan Merchan “had finally just had enough” of antics from the defense.
Haberman acknowledged on CNN that Trump’s legal team “really doesn’t like” Merchan but said he’s actually “tried being really fair on a bunch of points.”
One moment in particular stood out to Haberman.
That was when Merchan warned Trump attorney Todd Blanche, in a sidebar, about Trump’s audible cursing.
Haberman recalled Merchan telling Blanche that he didn’t want to embarrass Trump by saying his admonition out loud. Merchan also urged Blanche to get Trump under control.
