Media photographers cannot take former President Donald Trump’s photo during his New York trial over “hush-money” payments, a court officer said on Thursday.

A court officer said that Judge Juan Merchan said that photography won’t be allowed in the courtroom because someone in the photo pool violated a court order, according to pool reports and journalists in the courtroom. They will no longer be able to take photos for the remainder of the trial, which is expected to last at least two more weeks.
