Justice #Merchan returns from lunch w/a ruling on the evidentiary issue raised before the break, involving stills from a video that show #Trump w/ his bodyguard #KeithSchiller on the evening of 24 Oct 2016.
Defense sought to cast doubt on #MichaelCohen’s account of talking to Trump on Schiller’s phone that day.
Merchan says he will NOT allow in video stills that show Schiller w/Trump.
