A Paralegal’s Steely, Star Turn at Donald Trump’s Trial
She had a simple job at a complex trial: Read a man’s damning words.
Not just any man, of course. The Twitter posts on the bright courtroom screens at Donald Trump’s New York trial last Friday were the thoughtless intimidation tactics of the first American president to face criminal charges in a fight that could alter the course of the country’s history.
The task fell to Georgia Longstreet, a tall, unassuming 24-year-old who walks into court every morning impeccably dressed. She and her two fellow paralegals show up half an hour before the prosecution team does, lugging in binders of evidence and prepping for the seven-hour battle ahead.
