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.
