Prosecutors are asking Merchan to fine Trump for criticizing porn star Stormy Daniels and his former lawyer Michael Cohen, both of whom are expected to testify in the trial.
They also have highlighted Trump’s claim last week that people were lying to get on the jury so they could convict him.
Trump is charged with falsifying business records to cover up a 130,000 payment shortly before the 2016 U.S. election to buy Daniels’ silence about a sexual encounter she has said they had in 2006.
Trump has pleaded not guilty and denies such an encounter took place. (REUTERS)
