The Trump Organization’s criminal tax fraud trial came to an abrupt halt after the prosecution’s first witness tested positive for Covid.

The judge made the call on Tuesday afternoon, with the jury out of the courtroom. The witness is the company’s controller, Jeffrey McConney, who reported not feeling well after spending the morning on the stand. The trial is set to resume Monday.
