Hoffinger shows calendar entries for Trump from January 16 to January 19, 2017, from the Trump Organization appointment calendar, including an entry for a "teleprompter practice session" on the 25th floor of Trump Tower on January 16, 2017.
Another entry shows Trump had an appointment with Ainsley Earhardt from Fox and Friends on January 17, 2017.
On the same day, he also had an appointment for a photo shoot for Mike Allen for the Washington Post.

Trump is smiling and watching Graff speak as his attorneys begin to ask questions of his former longtime assistant.
"I never had the same day twice in all that time," Graff says, as she describes her time at the Trump organization. "It was a very stimulating, exciting, fascinating place to be."
Asked if Trump respected her intelligence, Graff says she wouldn't have worked there for 34 years if he didn't. Trump laughed at the comment.
Asked if Trump was a good boss, Graff says, "I think that he was fair, and, what's the word I'm looking for, respectful boss to me."
"Sometimes he would peek his head in and say, 'Go home to your family,' which I thought was very thoughtful of him," Graff testifies.
Graff says Trump invited her to the inauguration and she got to sit up close. She says it was a "unique" experience to sit on the platform with her husband.
She testified that "The Apprentice" elevated Trump to "rock star status."
