I don't know where this is coming from but three different reporters covering the Trump trial said they are hearing offers of a settlement.
There's been private conversations between the Trump team and the State lawyers.
Alina Habba met with the judge one on one for at least a half hour.
They went to lunch, but court didn't start for while after the break.
Habba then left the courtroom.
From twitter
New: Very curious. Sitting here & 25 min late on our planned return.
Trump atty Habba walked out from chambers, alone. Then, AG’s attorneys head in.
Recently, Trump complained about a low-ball settlement offer...
Settlement bid afoot?
They return. We continue. Who knows.
Apparently the settlement rumor started with Trump himself. He mentioned the settlement conference on Truth social. yesterday
For context, here's what Trump said on Monday:
"He asked me to settle for a MUCH LOWER AMOUNT, at a settlement conference, but I said NO, I DID NOTHING WRONG!"
