Merchan goes over scheduling of rest of trial

Lisa Rubin and Rebecca Shabad

Judge Merchan discussed scheduling, telling both sides that it's not ideal to have a big gap between summations and the jury charge.

Blanche said he intends to finish his cross of Cohen before the morning break Monday, and there is a possibility both sides will be done with the presentation of evidence on Monday.

But Blanche left open the possibility of both Trump and a mystery witness until the next day; he told them to be prepared to sum up Tuesday.

At some point the jury is going to be thinking, me thinks the defense protests too much.

Trump and mystery witness. Please let it be Putin.
