Trump trial attorney frustrated over gag order argument

"You're losing all credibility with the court," he told Mr Blanche, after trying to get him to hurry up his arguments.

Trump is accused by the prosecution of routinely breaking a restriction imposed by the judge that prevents him from publicly attacking witnesses, prosecutors and relatives of court staff.

"He knows about the order, he knows what he's not allowed to do, but he does it anyway," prosecutor Christopher Conroy told the court.
