Via Andrew Weissmann:
Court about to begin. The defense table, from left to right: Blanche, the defendant (ie Trump), Bove, and Necheles (notably farthest from Trump). Gaggle of photographers shoot Trump, inches from his face: he maintains an implacable and dour expression. ADA Josh Steinglass and his team now enter: Steinglass is very much the lead here.
😂 Stormy, Cohen, McDougal…
AND the Access Hollywood tape. Desperate much? Good luck with that #FlopsweatMcBoneSpurs.
“The motion attacks witnesses’ cred at length, casting Cohen as a “liar” & suggesting Daniels would offer “false” and “salacious” testimony.
Trump’s lawyers also took aim at how prosecutors have described the hush money payments as a “catch-&-kill” scheme to quash negative info about Trump in advance of the 2016 presidential election” #legal
#NikkiHaley: "The Repub incumbent, Donald #Trump, did not get 43% of the vote in New Hampshire. That's a prob. He's not winning any additional people. He's not winning independents, he's not winning suburban women... he's not talking about anything but himself
Trump spent $50m of his campaign $ against him. Think about that. That's why he's not on TV in S Carolina. That's why he's not doing rallies is bc he's using all the money to pay for his legal fees. That's the story."
