Even Fox is struggling to make this look good for them.
Acyn:
Fox is finally showing footage from the Trump surrogates speaking outside of the courthouse. It’s about 10 seconds, doesn’t show the surrogates, and focuses on a bootlickers banner #ClusterFox
#WompWomp Arizona’s attorney general says Rudy #Giuliani has been served an indictment in the state’s fake elector case alongside 17 other defendants for his role in an attempt to overturn #Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

👉🏼Justice Merchan: The motion to introduce this into evidence is denied.
Trump's lawyer Necheles: You were asked about how checks were sent, right?
Westerhout: Yes.
Blanche steps up to the lectern. He tells Merchan that Cohen has continued to make public statements about the case/about Trump. He wants Merchan to issue an order to restricting Cohen's speech about the case.
Merchan declines this request. Instead, he directs the prosecution to tell Cohen to knock it off, basically.
#WompWomp 👉🏼Trump, hearing this, grimaces in apparent anger.
Moments later, Justice Merchan sweeps out of the room.
These were very real, very threatening attacks on witnesses, so 👉🏼I can't take your word for it, Merchan says, while saying he is still concerned by some witnesses using the gag order as a sword, not a shield.

Court about to begin. The defense table, from left to right: Blanche, the defendant (ie Trump), Bove, and Necheles (notably farthest from Trump). Gaggle of photographers shoot Trump, inches from his face: he maintains an implacable and dour expression. ADA Josh Steinglass and his team now enter: Steinglass is very much the lead here.
Breaking: An appeal's court has denied #Trump's request to delay the hush money [election interference] trial.
Trump sought a delay because Merchan refused to recuse, because he couldn't invoke an immunity defense and because the judge made his team file motions with a delay to allow for redactions. #legal#TrumpTrial
