Trump's lawyers condemned to do 'scattershot preparation' because he screwed up: attorney

The decision by Donald Trump to use his Truth Social platform to go after potential jurors in his Manhattan hush money trial has resulted in his lawyers going into the weekend completely clueless about who they will be cross-examining when the actual trial begins early next week, an expert said Friday.

A decision by Judge Juan Merchan allowed prosecutors to deny Trump's legal team a list of the first three witnesses Manhattan District AttorneyAlvin Bragg's office plans to start the trial with after opening arguments.
