Trump rips ruling to deny mistrial a 'disgrace,' claims he is 'being held in this court with a corrupt judge'
Donald Trump ripped Judge Juan Merchan as "corrupt" while ripping his ruling to deny a mistrial in his 'hush money' case as a "disgrace" in fiery comments as he left court on Thursday.
"This judge is corrupt, he's a corrupt judge," Trump said. "This judge, what he did, and what his ruling was is a disgrace."
Judge Merchan ruled just moments prior that the former president's attorneys opened the door to “corroborate” Stormy Daniels' account of the tryst after they called her a liar in their opening statement and at other points in the trial.
Trump sat through extensive testimony by Daniels on Thursday that included her claiming that he did not wear a condom during their sexual encounter and her spanking him – which led to his attorneys requesting a mistrial.
"I have to get back on the campaign trail, I'm not supposed to be here," Trump said. "We are so innocent, there's never been anything like this."
