Shouting erupted during court proceedings for Donald Trump's New York hush money criminal trial Tuesday, according to a journalist who was present in the courtroom.
The heightened tensions began when Trump's lawyer Matthew Russell mentioned text messages between former National Enquirer editor-in-chief Dylan Howard and an unknown relative, Inner City Press reporter Matthew Russell Lee said in a post to X, pointing out that Judge Juan Merchan told the prosecution and defense some of the contents of the texts messages could be redacted.
