Trump declares: ‘We are so innocent’

Speaking after his Thursday appearance in court, former President Trump went on the attack against Judge Juan Merchan, who denied a request to modify Trump's gag order.

"So, what happened today? I don't think we have to do any expert explaining. I'm not allowed to anyway because this judge is a corrupt judge. This judge, what he did and what his ruling was, is a disgrace," Trump said after court adjourned, adding Merchan is "totally conflicted."

Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, said he's "got 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 it.

"I'm innocent, and I'm being held in this court with a corrupt judge who's totally conflicted."

The former president said it is "a disgrace to the city of New York, to the state of New York and to the country."

DAY 15

Former President Trump's ex-attorney Michael Cohen expected to take the stand Monday

Former President Trump's ex-attorney and fixer Michael Cohen is expected to be called to testify Monday as a witness in his former boss' criminal trial.

Cohen arranged the $130,000 hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Trump, later, made several payments of $35,000 to Cohen, who was his personal attorney at the time.

Those payments served as the basis for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's indictment of Trump on charges of falsifying business records. Bragg is trying to prove those payments, which totaled $420,000, were a reimbursement for the hush money payment.

But Trump defense attorneys say that the $35,000 payments were "not a payback," but instead, legal payments.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.

Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to campaign finance violations, making false statements to Congress and tax evasion. He was sentenced to three years in prison.

The former president has previously called Cohen a "proven liar."

So obviously there have been a lot of anecdotes, but I wanted to put real numbers forward despite the small sample. I talked to 25 Jewish voters today in Michigan.

Here is how they voted in 2020:
17- Biden
2- Trump
6- Independent, did not vote, or Blank

Now I asked what they would do if the election was tomorrow:
- 12 committed to Trump
-  4 wavering between Trump and Other/Blank
-  6 committed to Other/blank
-  3 wavering between Biden and Other/Blank

Not one person said they were definitively committed to voting for Biden at this point. Admittedly these were all voters above 30, but many are traditional Dem voters. Dems can ignore these voters if they want, but this phenomenon is very real.

Robert Kennedy Jr. endorses abortions up to birth. "Even if it's full term."

This took place at the Masjid Al-Iman off Sunrise Blvd just west of I95 in Ft. Lauderdale.
It has been a radical terror centric mosque for decades, and is where 'shoe bomber' Jose Padilla was radicalized back in 1992.
