Trump's lawyer made a Motion for Mistrial. Basis was that he doesn't like the judge's rulings. I don't know how he talks his lawyers into doing shit that flushes their legal reputations down the toilet.

The common motion is a motion for a directed verdict made at the conclusion of the plaintiffs case. It is essentially saying that the plaintiff has failed to prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence. They are routinely denied since the judge will simply let the case go to the jury and they can assess the weight of the evidence. What Trump’s lawyers filed is bizarre and atypical. It is essentially making a Charlie Brown-esk type argument complaining about the judge always picking on them. For a man supposedly with money, he sure seems to attract some oddball lawyers. I guess when you have a history of not paying your lawyers it might be hard to attract the best and brightest.
