In a Monday ruling on the Manhattan district attorney’s hush-money criminal prosecution of Donald Trump, the presiding judge largely ruled in favor of prosecutors’ motions in limine, allowing the infamous Access Hollywood tape to be referenced at trial but not played for the jury and rejecting a “presence of counsel” defense. But the ruling was also notable for what it did not yet do regarding evidence that may be used as possible proof of “consciousness of guilt.”

Near the very end of Acting New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan’s ruling, the judge discussed four categories of evidence that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg (D) has asserted will be probative of the former president’s awareness of wrongdoing.
