CNN reports:
Donald Trump has been in the courtroom Wednesday morning watching the testimony of E. Jean Carroll, shaking his head at one point when Carroll accused him of assaulting her and conversing with his attorneys while she testifies.
After the jury left the courtroom for a mid-morning break, one of Carroll’s attorneys, Shawn Crowley, told the judge Trump could be heard “loudly saying things” about Carroll’s testimony, like “it’s false” and “she’s gotten her memory back.” Crowley said since it’s loud enough for her to hear at the table two rows in front of Trump, she said it’s possible the jury could hear it, too.
On Wednesday morning, Trump entered the courtroom before Carroll, who was in an anteroom since she was going to be called as the first witness. He slung his winter coat onto the back of chair and sat down between his attorneys.

After Trump threw his hands up in the air and said, “I would love it,” Judge Kaplan continued: “I know you would,” Kaplan said. “I know you would. You just can’t control yourself in this circumstance, apparently.”

Holy cow. Judge Kaplan in the E. Jean Carroll case has just about had it with Donald Trump’s lawyer after she just tried objecting, saying, “First of all, when you speak in this courtroom, you’ll stand up.” Judge Kaplan is enforcing the rules & showing us how it’s done.
