New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron on Tuesday rejected objections Donald Trump's unmasked attorneys raised to the hearing moving forward given their COVID-19 concerns, ordering the former presidents $250 million fraud trial to continue.
At the start of Tuesday's hearing, Trump lawyer Chris Kise announced that four members of the attorney general's office had contracted COVID-19 last week and complained about the office's lack of notification regarding the exposures, Politico's Erica Orden reported. He added that he's sitting farther away from the prosecutors' table because he is concerned about being exposed.
