Trump cites reports from liberal media outlets as even those say DA has no case
By Kaydi Pelletier
Wearing a navy suit and gold tie this morning, Trump spoke to reporters in the court hallway first commenting on canceled college graduations at Columbia and elsewhere, saying he's "never seen anything like this."
He went on to defend the payments to his former "fixer" lawyer, Michael Cohen, that are at the crux of the case.
"The legal expense that we paid was put down as legal expense," he said. "Everyone's saying 'Oh geez, that's the fraud.'
"The other thing: this was approved by all agencies, there's been nothing hidden at all."
Trump also claimed that "some of the statements made about this witch hunt" — even by left-leaning media outlets like "fake news CNN," "Good Morning America" and NBC's "Today" are saying the prosecution "has no case."
"With all that's going on, they have no case," Trump said. "Virtually everyone that I've seen has said there's no case.
"This all comes out of the White House and crooked Joe Biden.
"It happens in third world countries. It's never happened in this country."
