There was a heated moment. All right,
going to show it to you in sketch artists.
Courtroom sketch artist Elizabeth Williams captured this.
She's my guest in just a moment.
Let me tell you what you're looking at.
This is Trump and his lawyers and what they were
doing when prosecutors made the case to admit text message,
Max messages, plural, into evidence related to the Karen McDougal
hush money payment,
including one from National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard.
So this text message gets put out there.
It was in 2016. And the text message from this
editor to a an immediate family member quote.
At least if he wins,
I'll be pardoned for election fraud.
Trump and his team are visibly upset by this text,
one of Trump's lawyers shouted.
Whoa, out front. Now Elizabeth Williams,
a sketch artist who is in the courtroom with Trump
today and of course has been throughout this trial.
OK, so I just want to emphasize that text conversation.
The judge has not decided whether to admit that text
into evidence.
The jury was not in the room when this was
put,
put out there. But you were there.
The lawyers were there. Trump was there.
What happened? Well, the contrast,
because Trump has been pretty staid throughout this trial.
He's been head, straight, head facing forwards or slightly to
the witness that information came out.
They all, the three of them,
Trump and his two lawyers,
they all sit back, they start immediately conferring amongst one
another like,
I mean it was a visible difference because throughout the
most of the testimony this morning I think.
Trump kind of expects, and he sort of knows what's
coming.
Those were totally unexpected. And he really reacted.
He was talking to Blanche,
and then he was talking to Beauvais,
and then back at Blanche again,
and Blanche and then the three of them.
I mean, I can't draw motion,
but there was a lot of that.
