carol, just how unusual is this? >> it's a little bit unusual for the following reasons. it's certainly unusual for a judge to suggest that the lawyer doesn't have complete client control, which is what judge merchan was saying, but i think that we have all seen that unfortunately that that is true, not to blame the defense attorneys, but donald trump does what donald trump wants to do. the courtesy of the telling the other side who the next witness or few witnesses are going to be, that is a courtesy that's generally extended because each party wants the other party to extend the same courtesy to them. in this case, the prosecution has said with what they believe to be violations of the gag order that have taken place, they're not going to extend that courtesy. that makes it tough for the defense in a couple of ways, one obviously they don't know which witness to prepare for. i mean, they're prepared for all the witnesses, but it's always a little different when you know exactly who is coming up next. they're not going to know that.
