Assuming there aren't delays, the govt has said it expects to finish presenting its case in chief today. Then, the judge will ask Manafort's lawyers if they plan to put on any witnesses, or submit any motions. He doesn't have to. And then it's the weekend.

It's been an unusual morning in the Manafort trial. Judge came in at 9:45, immediately called the lawyers to the bench (no jury). ~15 min. later, judge announced he was taking a recess. About 50 minutes later (11:05), he came back, called the jury in — and said he'd recess again

We haven't been told what's going on. At one point, a court security officer was called over to the bench conference, which is unusual. Before we recessed, the judge repeated his instruction to the jury not to discuss the case w/ anyone, and to keep an open mind until the end

The judge told the jury he was recessing now because he had other matters on his docket that he needed to attend to. We'll reconvene at 1:45pm.

What would it mean if they’re “talking to the Marshall of the Supreme Court”-like what would that portend for this trial?

They’re not. It’s a joke.

Oh, ok. Sorry for being so ignorant on these matters.

It's a joke out of a post by a conspiracy theory person on the internet who asserted that the Marshal of the Supreme Court rushed to the tarmac to inform Trump that impeachment proceedings had begun or something ridiculous like that and we all had to spend time debunking it.
