During the morning session, Donald Trump attempted to read the contents of a sheet of paper he had in his pocket — an effort that violates trial procedure and decorum, and was immediately shut down by Judge Arthur Engoron.
“I’d love to read this, your honor, if I could, if I’m allowed to do that,” Trump said, clutching the paper.
“Not at this point, no,” Engoron said.
“Shock,” Trump muttered. “I’m shocked.”
It was not clear what Trump was attempting to read.
