Calgarians permit good afternoon, i martha maccallum, and this is we are in this husso step of this process and President Trumps trial in new york city. Right this minute the lawyers in the judge are debating what instructions, parameters, they will lay down for the jury before they go into deliberate my this is for the framework, the path that the judge says look, this is what you can consider how this is what you cant consider in this case. So that we will have Closing Arguments set for next week so youve just got this enormous golf of time between the Jury Instructions and the Closing Arguments were all these jurors will go home, that is eight leads, over the memorial day weekend. We are also waiting for the judge to rule on the trumps team which has been sort of a Standing Request and the necklace again right no and the judge said he is in the process of considering it and wont say when he will determine whether or not this case should be thrown out.
