Trump latest defense in Manhattan case appears to be: I did not know what the allegedly 'false' paperwork for the payments actually said and, in any event, the payments were legal expenses.

Credit where credit is due. Trump added to his burgeoning list of firsts today when he became the first-ever former president to fall asleep in court while being criminally prosecuted.

He called his first opponent 'Crooked Hillary' and he's now disgorged, found liable for fraud, and facing criminal charges underpinned by more fraud. He called his current opponent 'Sleepy Joe' and impugned his cognition, yet he fell asleep in open court yesterday and can't…

#Maddow : People forget how sordid the Geoffrey Berman affair was. Trump wanted all the crimes he committed prior to being elected president to go away, but Berman — who was a Trump appointee — refused to relent. Berman was old school and wasn't about to be bribed by the corrupt…

What of Bill Barr?

My take on Trump’s trial. For those who think Trump’s campaign and criminal trials are just an amusing but unthreatening sideshow, they are not. This is dangerous. This has never happened before in the history of our country. This is not normal. This is white privilege.…

Donald Trump can only last three minutes in the bedroom and the courtroom.

FOR THE RECORD:

With all the hollering Republicans do about 'election integrity,' you'd think they would care about a candidate creating a shell company to funnel hush money payments into and falsely call it 'legal fees.'

I mean, he did all that to HIDE his actions from voters,…

Laura Loomer Donald Trump is a criminal defendant in this trial. Criminal defendants don't get to pick and choose what days they feel like showing up in court.

Rep. Jim Jordan .Rep. Jim Jordan , your portrayal of the case against former President Trump as relying merely on 'the word of a convicted liar, Michael Cohen,' and a 'shaky legal theory' is not just misleading but shows a troubling disregard for the rule of law and the facts of the case.

Jamie Raskin: “The Trump trials are about electoral interference and manipulation. They tried it with violence (DC case) ... they tried it with fraud (Georgia case) ... and here, they tried it with payoffs and cooking the books. Financial manipulation. THAT'S what it’s about ...'

Gunther Eagleman™ That's a lie. The money Iran withdrew from the Eastern Bank was their own money, which had been frozen by US sanctions.

Donald Trump Jr. .Donald Trump Jr. Your assertion reeks of desperation and a blatant attempt to mislead. It disregards the substantial efforts Biden’s administration has made to strengthen international alliances and address global issues through diplomacy and multilateral cooperation, such as…

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 .Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 Marjorie, your statements are not only misleading but appear to be deliberate attempts to misinform and manipulate the public. Let's set the record straight:

Sanctions on Iran Under President Trump: Your claim that Trump's sanctions 'worked' is fundamentally incorrect.…

Michael Steele Donald J. Trump .Michael Steele
He knows nothing and doesn't know he knows nothing.

He is not au fait with any of the country's history; forget world history. Dense. He is vacant.

Donald Trump was the worst Foreign Policy President.

If Michael Cohen went to prison then Trump should too.

Agree?

#Trump is a narcissist who, despite having a grandiose sense of importance, possesses feelings of insecurity, low self esteem and a CONSTANT NEED for admiration.
