Watters should be required to attend the hearing for a stern warning as well.
Don't show up, get an arrest warrant and some contempt time in the judge's jail.

Trump was dressed down by the judge for using his phone in court.
Looks like Trump has been caught sleeping in court for the third day in a row.
Dude....he was just setting his alarm for his court nap time....
Not sure why NBC is posting stuff like this after a jury member stepped down for being made public.
"One potential juror said that he has worked in law enforcement for 34 years and, in his spare time, he has season tickets to New York Rangers' games and enjoys going to Yankees games."

It’s like my wife’s middle school kids.
I would like to see more coverage of Trump’s courtroom flatulence. Public farting is an egregiously under appreciated form of comedy.
Case like this probably two weeks,.. No, the defendant is normally not required to be present,.. New York, New York.
No, Trump being required to sit through this is not normal,.. The defendant normally has the option, but is not required to be present for this phase of the trial proceedings.
And for some reason George Santos is hanging around outside the courthouse.
I still cannot fathom that there are people dumb enough to not only believe it, but say it out loud.
So . . . you're saying that requiring a criminal defendant to be present during voir dire and jury selection is unique to state courts in New York City? Curious as to the basis for that statement.
Is it your contention that a criminal defendant is not required to be present during jury selection in a majority of jurisdictions?
Jury selection process is proving to be increasingly challenging by the hour, CNN analyst says
From CNN's Aditi SangalThursday's dismissal of two jurors who were seated underscores how the process is not perfect and requires "self-reflection and self-disclosure," a CNN legal analyst noted.
The goal is to find jurors who don't have a personal stake in the matter and who can keep an open mind, but it's proving more and more challenging as the hours — not just the days — go by, Coates added.
They'll get a jury seated. It's been less than 3 days and they're already a third of the way there.
They’re getting close to a point where one MAGA sneaks in and hangs the jury.
Probably not. The prosecutors are doing a good job so far of vetting against this.
Unfortunately, what we're seeing here is a two-tier system of justice with Trump given every advantage imaginable. Can you imagine Joe Blow citizen getting away with this stuff like publicly demeaning prosecuters, judges, judges families, and blatant disregard of court ordered gag orders. We would be put in jail for contempt, no questions asked. But not Trump - really pathetic!
He's the most coddled person in America. Any of us would have been held in contempt a long time ago.
Up to 12 jurors. The Rs hoping that he wouldn't be held to account because they couldn't seat a jury are out of luck.
Whenever I think of a jury, this guy is the first person that comes to mind.
I hope 6 alternates is enough. That seems a little risky.
With the amount of witness intimidation Trump is involved with double that would be smarter.
