Trump team mounts attempt to gag Michael Cohen

The Hill

10 May 2024 at 1:33 pm·1-min read

The third week of testimony in former President Trump’s hush money trial has concluded, but not before a flurry of activity by his lawyers directed at the prosecution’s star witness, Michael Cohen.

Prosecutors traded blockbuster testimony this week for the more mundane Friday before breaking early for the weekend.

Just before the court wrapped up for the day, Trump’s attorneys attempted to gag Cohen to prevent him from talking about the case ahead of his expected testimony on Monday. The judge in turn granted them a win when he directed the prosecution to tell Cohen to zip it before court resumes next week.

Follow below for a recap from New York.

Fears as gardens and driveways collapse near 300-home new build estate
Furious locals say their gardens and driveways are collapsing after building work started on a new estate. Dozens of residents in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Notts., were shocked when cracks appeared in their driveways. Large chunks of people’s gardens in George Street also sank by up to 3ft amid fears of a major landslip. The damage is believed to have been caused by powerful vibrations coming from diggers doing groundworks on a new housing development nearby. Construction has been temporarily halted as investigations are carried out into the building work which developers blame on “heavy rain”.
