Live Updates: Opening Statements to Begin in Trump’s Criminal Trial
Donald J. Trump is charged with falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal that threatened to derail his 2016 campaign. Lawyers on both sides are set to lay out their arguments on Monday.
For comparison, coverage from:
Trump spoke to the press in the hallway and excoriated the case. He ignored some of the questions he was asked, like, “Where’s Melania?”
First of all, lol.
Trump sits alone at the defense table motionless, occasionally scanning the empty bench where the judge typically sits. It is a striking image for a person who is typically surrounded by so many people.
Secondly, where are all the people who claimed we would never get here? Where are all those who demand consequences?
Trump is struggling to stay awake. His eyes were closed for a short period. He was jolted awake when Todd Blanche, his lawyer, nudged him while sliding a note in front of him.
Thirdly, lol. Dozing Don strikes again!
Where are all those who demand consequences?
We have yet to see actual consequences.
This is hilarious! Thanks for sharing! What a great day.
