@ClubmasterTransparent Wow, that was fast

We are getting close with more of prosecution to go. He has been mouthing words during her testimony and the judge has warned his attorneys.

@ClubmasterTransparent Yeah, this was very close to resolving YES: https://pdfs.nycourts.gov/PeopleVs.DTrump-71543/Transcripts/5-7-2024/00099.html

This isn't enough because his attorneys were warned, and the wording of the option implies Trump himself has to be directly warned

Not sure if this counts: a motion for a mistrial counts as court proceedings, but it's unclear whether proceedings were ongoing when this happened or if there was a natural pause between the motion and the trial resuming. Will check the transcript

@SaviorofPlant Is anyone other than Haberman even calling Trump’s exit a “storm out”? Not all even mention it. Maybe he just ducked out for the restroom and looked grumpy,

@ClubmasterTransparent This is the only source, I will only resolve YES if the transcript indicates he left abruptly during proceedings

@ClubmasterTransparent No indication of this in the transcript.

Reporting from inside the courthouse

This is a good moment to remind people that we have no idea how the jury is interpreting any of this. There is lots of circumstantial evidence that decisions didn’t get made on spending without Trump, and that Michael Cohen made a payment to a porn star, and said later it was better the story didn’t come out before the election. But there has been no direct testimony tying Trump to how the payments were recorded yet.

We're still at zero.

To clarify, this resolves YES if there is a defense exhibit on this page by that date: https://pdfs.nycourts.gov/PeopleVs.DTrump-71543/Evidence/

Will wait until May 17 to resolve but looks very likely

Resolves no?

Opening statements are done and there doesn't seem to be any evidence that this was mentioned. I will wait for the transcript release to resolve.

This trial won't be livestreamed, correct? It will be hard to verify this one.

@Quroe There are reporters live-tweeting the proceedings, I'm thinking there's a chance they point something like this out or it appears in a news article

Gotcha. So we can assume this one is strictly based on whether or not some in-room source reports on it? NO if no evidence, YES if reported?

@Quroe That's correct, that is the approach I am taking for most of these answers. Will resolve N/A if there is conflicting evidence (e.g. one reporter claims they fell asleep, another claims they didn't)

@SaviorofPlant https://x.com/tylermcbrien/status/1780962809951457520?s=46 Appears to have happened!

@ColinAitkena211 Not going to count this tweet, would want a specific accusation of appearing to be asleep in a tweet or news article. You can close your eyes for a short time while awake
