The senior political correspondent for The New York Times noted that Trump appeared calmer during his criminal hush money trial compared to previous civil trials where he appeared angry and dismissive. She remembered that he did engage in those activities and began to fidget. Haberman observed that Trump’s lead lawyer, Todd Blanche, became particularly irked when Justice Merchan was questioning him, especially right before the ruling was made to reduce the size of the bond. Blanche had a challenging morning dealing with the justice. Judge Juan Merchan, an interim judge in the New York State Supreme Court, is presiding over the criminal trial related to Trump’s alleged falsification of business records in relation to a payment made to Stormy Daniels in 2024. Merchan was said to have become irritated with Trump’s lawyers on Monday as they sought to delay or dismiss the trial citing alleged misconduct by the prosecutors in handling discovery documents. Trump was said to have grown angrier as it seemed unlikely that he would receive a favorable ruling. According to Haberman, Trump continuously stared at his lead lawyer for a long period of time while directing his anger towards Merchan instead. As the break was happening, it was reported that Trump’s fraud case had taken a positive turn as an appeals court lowered his bond from over $450 million to $175 million and extended the deadline by 10 days. Haberman observed that Trump’s attitude noticeably shifted after he received this reprieve when he returned to the courtroom. She said his mood had completely changed.
