Judge Juan Merchan is currently presiding over a court session where closing arguments are anticipated to be presented by Donald Trump's Attorney Todd Blanche and Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass. The proceedings are expected to last the entire day, as confirmed by sources familiar with the case.
During the session, there will be no rebuttals following the closing arguments. Judge Merchan has indicated that he plans to provide the jury with instructions on Wednesday, a process that is estimated to take approximately one hour.
