Madeleine Westerhout, a former executive assistant to Trump at the White House, finished her testimony after just under two hours on the stand across two days.
Other witnesses included Daniel Dixon, an AT&T compliance analyst; Jennie Tomalin, a Verizon senior analyst; and Jaden Jarmel-Schneider, a paralegal from the Manhattan district attorney's office.
