April 19: A panel of 12 jurors and six alternates was selected.
April 22: The prosecution and defense made their opening statements. Former tabloid boss David Pecker was called to testify.
April 23: Judge Juan Merchan held a Sandoval hearing for Trump’s alleged gag order violations, but reserved his decision.
April 25: While Trump sat in the Manhattan courtroom, the Supreme Court in Washington, DC, heard arguments on the matter of his immunity in special counsel Jack Smith’s election subversion case against him.
April 26: Pecker’s direct questioning and cross-examination concluded. Trump’s former longtime assistant Rhona Graff was called to testify briefly. Finally, Michael Cohen’s former banker Gary Farro testified.
April 30: Farro’s testimony concluded. Prosecutors then called Dr. Robert Browning, the executive director of C-SPAN archives, and Philip Thompson who works for a court reporting company. Then, Keith Davidson, the former attorney for Daniels and McDougal, took the stand.
May 2: Davidson’s testimony concluded. Digital evidence analyst Douglas Daus was called to testify.
May 3: After Daus finished testifying, Georgia Longstreet, a paralegal at the district attorney’s office, spoke about reviewing Trump’s social media posts for this case. She was followed by Hope Hicks, once a longtime Trump aide. Her highly anticipated testimony was a little less than three hours.
