On a dry day in front of Judge Juan Merchan, the jury on Monday saw prosecutors put another Trump Organization accounting employee on the stand in the start of the third week of Trump’s trial to walk jurors through the gritty details and record-keeping behind checks signed by the Art of the Deal author to his fixer and lawyer Michael Cohen.

Steinglass also said the prosecution needs about two more weeks from Tuesday to finish its case but called that “a very, very rough estimate.”

Outside the court, Trump, who has clinched the GOP nomination for his third presidential run, told pool reporters: “The government just said they want two to three more weeks. That means they want to keep me off the [campaign] trail for two to three more weeks. Now, anybody in there would realize there’s no case, they don’t have a case.

“This is just a political witch hunt,” Trump added. “It’s election interference, and this is really, truly election interference and it’s a disgrace, it’s a disgrace. And every poll, I’m leading by a lot.”
