‘Don’t roll your eyes’ and an entourage: Trump trial takeaways, day 19

The ex-president walked into the courtroom with a phalanx of supporters as the defense's witness prompted near-chaos

Donald Trump's criminal hush-money trial entered its 19th day on Monday in Manhattan with what has become a routine procession. Trump walked into the hallway, and then the courtroom, with a phalanx of supporters that included his son, Eric, and Republicans of varying prominence.

This morning, some of Trump's guests included Kash Patel and the law professor Alan Dershowitz, whose reputation has waned due to his past association with Jeffrey Epstein. Others present included: a former leader of the New York Hells Angels chapter, and a disgraced former NYPD commissioner.
