I've done several events with current presidents so I'm familiar with Secret Service protocol for everyone to be in place before and stay in place after the president comes and goes. I didn't realize that it applies to former presidents as well. Or maybe it's what the former guy asks for? Since we haven't seen any other former presidents on trial it's hard to know.

Is it a court rule? Most people have to be in place before the judge enters the courtroom and cannot leave until the judge does. The judge in this case stopped the former president from leaving one day. Asked him to sit down and then the judge left.
But it sounds like people need to be seated before Trump enters, which is normal protocol for presidents, and then Trump has be in place before the judge enters since it is his courtroom, with the reverse being true of exits, judge, former guy, the people. It kind of explains to me why lunch break takes a while anyway!

If it's a security thing, it wouldn't matter if it's a former President; the process would be the same.
Just following protocol I guess.
