离开法庭的特朗普指责指控
前总统特朗普走出法庭时再次向记者声称，没有人知道他被指控的罪行。
“没人知道罪行是什么。地方检察官没有指明罪行。他们不知道罪行是什么，”特朗普错误地声称，尽管地方检察官阿尔文·布拉格在特朗普执政期间宣读了所有34项罪名去年提审本案的法官回顾每一个在昨天的陪审团指示中。

特朗普在谈到此案时说:“这是一种耻辱。“这件事应该立即结束。法官应该结束这一切以保全他的名誉。”
法官表示他将考虑所要求的证词后，法庭休庭数日
检察官乔什·斯坦格拉斯(Josh Steinglass)向法官默克姆介绍了2016年特朗普大厦会议记录中的每一个有争议的部分，详细说明了陪审团要求重读的每一个有争议部分的页码和行号。
对于其中的一些部分，辩护律师托德·布兰奇表示担心提供太多信息-不仅仅是关于会议的主题及其影响-而斯坦格拉斯认为一些证词可能会给陪审团造成混乱。
“这个问题既令人困惑又难以纠正，”斯坦格拉斯说。
Merchan说“为了节省时间”，他会在诉讼结束后带走记录并做出决定。
当被告知另一项争议时，Merchan说，“我会把这件事带到办公室，让你知道我的想法。”
随后，他走下替补席，告诉当事人他将在明天上午9:30与他们见面。
特朗普从座位上站起来，看起来很累，并与随行人员一起离开了法庭。
商人回来帮助整理要求的证词
法官Merchan回到法官席，检查陪审团要求的回读材料的搜索情况如何。
“我们的立场是什么?”法官问。
检察官乔什·斯坦因格拉斯表示，有“几个悬而未决的问题”需要Merchan的干预。
斯坦格拉斯表示，各方对四项请求中的三项达成了一致，但对记录中有关大卫·佩克关于2016年特朗普大厦会议的证词的相关部分存在分歧。
斯坦因格拉斯说，律师们不同意陪审团是否应该听取派克关于他向当时的《国家询问报》编辑迪伦·霍华德转述的会议内容的部分证词。
“我们试图在会议的实质内容和执行之间划清界限，”斯坦格拉斯告诉法官。
“我能理解为什么布兰奇先生对这其中的大部分内容有所担忧，”默塞尔在亲自查看了这部分文字记录后说。
继续搜索回读材料
检察官乔什·斯坦格拉斯(Josh Steinglass)和苏珊·霍夫芬格(Susan Hoffinger)，以及辩护律师托德·布兰奇(Todd Blanche)和埃米尔·博夫(Emil Bove)继续按照陪审团的要求，讨论笔录的相关部分，以便明天再次宣读。
在等候区呆了大约半个小时后，唐纳德·特朗普返回法庭。
他和他的儿子小唐一起进入法庭，并在辩护席上就座，律师们继续仔细阅读材料。

"It's a disgrace," Trump said of the case. "This thing ought to be ended immediately. The judge ought to end it to save his reputation."
Court ends for day after judge says he'll mull requested testimony
Prosecutor Josh Steinglass walked Judge Merchan through each of the disputed portions of the transcript regarding the 2016 Trump Tower meeting, detailing the page and line number for each disputed portion that the jury had requested be read back.
For some of the portions, defense attorney Todd Blanche expressed concern about providing too much information -- not just regarding the topic of the meeting but its repercussions -- while Steinglass argued that some of the testimony could create confusion for the jury.
"This issue is both confusing and difficult to correct," Steinglass said.
Merchan said that "for the sake of time," he would take the transcript with him after the proceedings conclude and make a decision.
Told about about another dispute, Merchan said, "I will take this with me into chambers and let you know what I think."
He then stepped off the bench and told the parties he would see them at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow.

Judge Merchan returned to the bench to check on how the search for the jury's requested readback material was coming.
"Where do we stand?" the judge asked.
Prosecutor Josh Steinglass said there were a "few outstanding issues" requiring Merchan's intervention.
Steinglass said the parties were in agreement about three of the four requests, but disagreed over the relevant portion of the transcript regarding David's Pecker's testimony about the 2016 Trump Tower meeting.
Steinglass said the lawyers disagreed over whether the jury should hear a portion of Pecker's testimony regarding what he relayed about the meeting to then-National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard.
"We tried to draw a line between the substance of the meeting and the execution," Steinglass told the judge.
"I can see why Mr. Blanche has some concerns about most of this," Merchan said after reviewing that portion of the transcript himself.
Search for readback material continues
Prosecutors Josh Steinglass and Susan Hoffinger, and defense attorneys Todd Blanche and Emil Bove continued to hash out the relevant portion of the transcript for tomorrow's readback as requested by the jury.
After spending about half an hour in his waiting area, Donald Trump returned to the courtroom.
He entered alongside his son Don Jr. and took a seat at the defense table as the attorneys continued to pore over the material.
