During the trial, Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass raised important points regarding the jury instructions in the case involving Pecker's FBI interview and Hope Hicks' presence at the August 2015 Trump Tower meeting. The defense, represented by Trump attorney Emil Bove, acknowledged the need for clarity and expressed intentions to apologize to Pecker for any confusion during the testimony. Bove also assured that Pecker would be directed to the relevant part of the FBI interview for better understanding.
Following discussions, the judge deemed Bove's proposed apology and guidance to Pecker as sufficient, indicating a resolution on that matter. Additionally, Steinglass requested the judge to provide a curative instruction to the jury regarding the references to Pecker's interactions with prosecutors before the trial commenced.
The proceedings highlighted the importance of clear communication and ensuring that all parties involved have a comprehensive understanding of the case details. The judge's decision to accept Bove's approach and consider Steinglass's request for a curative instruction reflects a commitment to upholding fairness and transparency in the legal process.
