100 CENTRE ST COURT, May 2 – In the Trump trial before Keith Davidson retook the witness stand, Justice Merchan asked to hear about contempt.
The prosecutor focused on Trump's praise of David Pecker as a "nice guy," calling it carrot and stick.
Justice Merchan said he was most concerned about comments about the jury being 95% Democrats and presumptively unfair. Trump's lawyer Todd Blanche said that wasn't about any particular juror. A decision will come.
When Trump's lawyer Emil Bove -- pronounced "Beau-vee" all now agree -- got to cross examine Davidson, the sparks flew.
He asked if Davidson hadn't been investigated for possible extortion in Florida, and about his role in leaking the Lindsay Lohan rehab tape, and Hulk Hogan sex tape.
Davidson took to saying, I don't recall. He tried to push back and say if Bove was, as he said, not trying to play lawyer game, he shouldn't use terms like extract, as in extract money from Charlie Sheen.
By lunch Bove said he had an hour left.
