I will not tolerate that," New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan told Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, raising his voice.
The warning came Tuesday afternoon, shortly after the questioning of a prospective juror over what Blanche called her "hostile" social media posts.
AdvertisementBlanche suggested that the prospective juror had earlier Tuesday portrayed herself as able to be impartial.
Jurors handed Trump a loss in that case, ordering him to pay Carroll more than $80 million in damages.
Merchan has been keenly aware of the courtroom dynamics while interviewing prospective jurors, a process that is expected to last about two weeks.
