Sussmann's defense team is arguing that Judge Cooper needs to strike certain portions of Marc Elias's testimony as 'nonresponsive and prejudicial', prohibit any further reference in the trial to Elias' testimony but that's not all.

They go on to ask the judge to permit the defense to publish a transcript of Elias' revised testimony to the jury.

I have never in 30 years of covering court cases heard of such a thing.

"This guy testified the wrong way, he said things he shouldn't have, so we want that stricken from the record, Judge! And then we have a prepared transcript of what the witness SHOULD HAVE testified to that we want to give to the jury."
