Diddy trial: A complicated case got even more complicated.

The latest outside the courthouse, in 🌧️ NY, with @m_halpert on @BBCWorld

Donald Trump has soared to a decisive election victory over Kamala Harris, lifted up by some of the very voters that Democrats once relied on.

I took a look at why with ⁦@m_halpert⁩ and ⁦@mwendling⁩ here: https://t.co/JHBr5TwA2a

@yestherealpault Thank you for catching!

This afternoon, I had a very literal front row seat to history, sitting directly behind Trump as the jury delivered their verdict.

When the first "Guilty" rang out, the air in the courtroom turned to stone.

@m_halpert and me on a historic day in court:

Today is the beginning of the end of Donald Trump's criminal trial.

Justice Merchan will give instructions before the jury goes into deliberations.

Then, we wait. For how long, only the jury knows.

@m_halpert and I will be here in court for @BBCWorld until we have a decision

[BBC North America @BBCNorthAmerica]

Each week of the Trump trial, I've joined @BBCSounds' #Americast to bring the biggest updates from court.

This week, @m_halpert and I covered Michael Cohen's intense week of testimony.

As he's set to return Monday, catch up on the biggest moments so far https://t.co/yrfdoiU3Pm

[Kayla Epstein 📰 @KaylaEpstein]

Michael Cohen’s presence has hovered over the entire Trump trial like a pugnacious ghost.

Witnesses, the DA, and defense attorneys have invoked his name over and over again and now, he will finally appear.

We're back for the afternoon session of Ivanka Trump's testimony.

Hello from court, where Ivanka Trump will take the stand in her father's business fraud case.

Widely assumed to be her father's favorite, today carries all sorts of dramatic connotations.
