Judge rules against admitting prosecution's photo evidence
Judge Merchan has ruled that he will not admit into evidence two still images prosecutors want to introduce that purportedly show Trump and his bodyguard Keith Schiller together on Oct. 24, 2016, the night of the phone call Michael Cohen said he had with Trump to finalize the Stormy Daniels deal.
Prosecutors want to introduce screenshots from a C-SPAN video showing Trump and Schiller together at that time.
Merchan said the images are relevant but said prosecutors could not overcome a hearsay objection.
Prosecutor Becky Mangold told Merchan that they just reached out to C-SPAN executive Robert Browning, who testified earlier, to ask him to return to court "as soon as reasonably possible" to introduce the images as evidence.
Mangold said she would update Merchan about Browning's status by the end of the day.
