During a recent court proceeding, Todd Blanche requested permission for Donald Trump to step out of the courtroom while the lawyers finalized the transcript for the jurors' readback. Judge Juan Merchan granted the request, allowing Trump to go across the hall but stipulating that he must remain within the building.
Following the judge's approval, Trump was permitted to leave the courtroom temporarily as the legal team worked on preparing the necessary documentation for the jurors. This decision was made to facilitate the smooth progress of the proceedings and ensure that all necessary materials were in order for the jurors' review.
