Josh Kovensky (TPM) on twitter
We’re underway in Manhattan criminal court, where Judge Merchan just told Trump that he has a “fundamental right to testify” that is completely unrelated to the gag order. Trump claimed yesterday that the gag order bars him from testifying

I think someone said the ABC live blogging was good? I thought CNN was awful.
It’s been interesting to see the hot takes in the moment with live blogging and then to see the more considered opinions that come out later in the day.
While things are ramping up, feel free to share the reconsidered hot takes you may have heard about since the trial closed on Friday afternoon.
