Something lighter for a fine Thursday afternoon…
Politico’s Josh Gerstein reports that a surprise appearance by “Mr. Trump” shook up the Manafort trial today, with journalists and lawyers “startled” at the mere mention of his name:
Funny moment just after jury was excused to deliberate on Manafort. Judge called out: 'Mr. Trump, you're here for what?' Journalists and lawyers were startled–almost aghast. But judge was recognizing an EDVA prosecutor: Jim Trump. (1/2)

Yeah … not the same “Mr. Trump”:
Trump was the lead prosecutor a few years back on the prosecution of ex-CIA agent Jeffrey Sterling for leaking to NYT's Jim Risen https://t.co/5EXCc6Wq8p
