They revisited portions of the judge’s instructions and reheard testimony from multiple key witnesses about the alleged scheme at the heart of the history-making case.
The judge responded to a jury request by rereading 30 pages of jury instructions. The 12-person jury, which deliberated for about 4 1/2 hours Wednesday without reaching a verdict, also reheard testimony Thursday morning from a tabloid publisher and Trump’s former lawyer and personal fixer.
