The Trump trial is hurtling to a close. Michael Cohen is set to finish today. Trump's team set they will finish with Cohen today. Then the prosecution will ask more question on redirect, but he is their last witness.
Trump's legal team said last week they are deciding if Trump testifies and may not put up any other witnesses.
But this morning said with the holiday weekend coming up, they will not get to summations until after the holiday
Justice Merchan: Looks like evidence will end this week, with summations next Tuesday.
OK, as I was typing this up, I just saw this.
