Trump's Legal Strategy Backfires: Jury Seated in Criminal Trial

In the New York criminal trial, prosecutors have refused to provide Trump's legal team with the names of the first three witnesses, citing Trump's history of criticizing and potentially intimidating witnesses. This decision hampers the defense's ability to prepare for cross-examination effectively, as they now have to engage in scattershot preparation for numerous potential witnesses instead of focusing on a select few. Trump's past actions have led to consequences that make it immensely harder for his legal team to assist him.
