As jurors deliberate whether Donald Trump is guilty in the first criminal case against an American president, Trump has been bolstered by his children, advisers and other supporters.
Missing from the historic but sometimes tawdry court proceedings arising from an alleged hush-money deal with a porn actress? Trump's wife, Melania.
She has not been spotted in the Manhattan criminal court in lower Manhattan. Neither has former first daughter, Ivanka, nor Trump's youngest son, Barron.
Meanwhile, the Biden campaign has taken advantage of the landmark trial by holding a press conference outside the courthouse. Famous fellow New Yorker and persistent Trump critic, Robert De Niro, called a nearby Trump crowd "gangsters." Also attending, two officers who defended the U.S. Capitol from the Jan. 6 mob.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony charges of falsifying business records.
Take a look at who's shown up this week -- and who hasn't.
