pleading guilty to two misdemeanors. he s facing these charges and another set of charges in delaware. evan, thank you so much. we ll be watching for updates on that. coming up for us, we head back to the courthouse in new york where closing arguments are under way in donald trump s civil fraud trial. live look at the courtroom doors right there. a lot of updates coming in.
washington were today were to be today? if the day were today, john, the fore person of the jury grants a true bill which is essentially the process of voting yes on an indictment, would carry that indictment to the courtroom of a magistrate judge in a federal courthouse in washington, d.c. the rules there require that the courtroom doors are actually open when it s presented. they may go to great lengths to avoid being detected, but those courtroom doors will have to be open, and then the judge will note the initials of any defendants in that indictment. it s not the practice locally to actually say the defendants name but note the defendant s initials. if the government decides they don t want to seal that indictment it will go immediately to the clerk s office, it will be filed and we ll learn about it shortly thereafter i suspect. i also think the special counsel s office learned a lesson from the initial indictment in miami in the
brief. i thought he was going to come towards the cameras and enter the courtroom doors. apparently not, you can see jason miller, communications director in the campaign following behind him he s entering in that courtroom. the indictment will be presented to him, at which point, we will see if the indictment gets unsealed immediately and handed to reporters by paper copy or distributed through email. or if there s just a viewing copy which reporters will then have to take photos of and send out. we ll have to wait to see how tell goes but with 30-plus counts in this indictment, it could be a very long document, andrea we ll just have to wait at least a few minutes to find out what will happen next we re going to find out, we re replaying that video, the video of donald trump walking out with security, with his attorney he is, of course, and secret service. going into that courtroom, in the courtroom, reporters are not

those people as witnesses ultimately it may be useful to lock them into their story now so that they can t be used as defense witnesses, he can neutralize their story by locking them in now. what you really don t want to happen is to charge donald trump now, the case goes to trial, you think you have a solid case and then there is a dramatic moment where the courtroom doors burst open and some butler who worked at mar-a-lago comes in and says, oh, i m the one who stashed the documents somewhere, i forgot to mention it all this time so by interviewing everybody who had access to that place you might learn something new but it seems to me more likely that you are locking in people to have them become defense witnesses down the road. each side is taking out its own insurance policy, right sh the feds, the doj are like we re going to neutralize you by calling all of you in, trump world may be doing their own form of insurance by having their paid for counsel represent these witnesses. is
