OH at Milken: “Not sure why we flew across the country to set up a bunch of meetings with people who are also in town from New York”

A “One Good Text” from Hugo Lowell, who was inside the court room yesterday for Stormy Daniels’ testimony in the Trump hush money case:

JUST IN: The Georgia Court of Appeals has agreed to hear Trump’s immediate appeal of Judge McAfee’s order that denied the defendants’ motion to disqualify Fulton County DA Fani Willis.

TRUMP CLASSIFIED DOCS: Judge Cannon formally scrapped the May 20 trial date without setting a new date, ruling the case was nowhere near ready to take before a jury in Florida. The Guardian latest theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

BREAKING: Judge Cannon indefinitely postpones Trump’s Mar-a-Lago classified docs case

NEW: Judge Merchan says he doesn't think we're at the point where MISTRIAL is warranted.

Merchan concedes 'there were some things that should have been left unsaid'

But Merchan says he was surprised there were not more objections and that he, sua sponte, once stepped in

Trump team may counter by noting that when Stormy gave an interview about sex with Trump to In Touch magazine in 2011, Cohen reportedly threatened to sue and In Touch didn’t run the interview until everything became public in 2018. amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/j…

Judge MERCHAN has been increasingly irritated by Stormy DANIELS and her testimony, which is very free flowing and gossipy.

'Just listen to the question and answer the question,' MERCHAN tells her.

NEW: Judge Merchan is clearly unhappy with the Stormy DANIELS testimony. He warned prosecutors before we resumed that much has been irrelevant -- and at times it felt like Daniels gossiping for sport. But then she described how she had sex with Trump, which felt v serious

Before the witness re-enters, Justice Merchan chides the prosecutor to stay on topic.

'The degree of the detail we're going into are just unnecessary,' Merchan tells Hoffinger.
