Defense Rests on Trump Hush Money Trial

The former President Donald Trump did not testify at his criminal trial stemming from a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels after all, as the defense rested its case Tuesday without calling him as a witness after legal experts cautioned taking the stand would have likely hurt his case. While I'm not a legal expert I do agree that it was best for him not to take the stand I mean it's not like there is anything new he can bring up and it would just open himself up to let the prosecutors tie him to other things, and further lie, and cheat to try and make him sound bad. So I agree with the defense resting the case on after attorney Robert Costello finished testifying.

The Trump ally sought to discredit testimony from ex-attorney Michael Cohen that tied Trump to the hush money scheme and I personally think he pretty much sank the entire case against TRUMP but this is New York and this is a rigged trial and so I don't think the chances are good no matter what that we will see a win here but an appeal if he shall lose this case I'm sure will be done swiftly in order to avoid any further actions by the state on this scam of a trial.

Trump’s lawyers said last week they still weren’t sure if he would testify, with Trump attorney Todd Blanche telling the judge no determination had yet been made on the issue. Trump boasted he was going to testify when the trial first got underway, telling reporters, “All I can do is tell the truth. And the truth is that there’s no case” and answering “yes,” but became more noncommittal in an April 26 interview with Newsmax, where he said only that he would testify “if it’s necessary.” 

While Trump had not publicly commented since then, his lawyer Alina Habba not representing him in this case told Fox News Monday the ex-president “wants to testify” but has to “listen to his attorneys,” and Blanche told the court the defense could rest its case as soon as Monday afternoon, which would be far too quick for Trump to testify.

Legal experts have strongly advised against Trump testifying, with attorney Norm Eisen saying on CNN the move would be “suicide” and Trump’s former attorney Tim Parlatore saying on CNN that it would “significantly increase” the likelihood that the ex-president would be convicted. 

Most criminal defendants do not testify on their own behalf during criminal trials, given the significant risk involved, and jurors cannot hold Trump’s decision not to testify against him.

The Judge in NY case who fined Trump $15,000 gets an earful!

Trump attacks back the crooked judge in NY fake fraud case who fined him $15,000 for speaking in public and defending himself as the left sling lies, and JOE BIDEN keeps using his White House and administration to target Trump the main rival the liberals all have as the majority of the country has now become TRUMP supporters and the left is in full panic mode.



The deomocrats ships started to crumble with people months ago even with themselves helping to cover the bad deeds they do. Like the one time Jamaal Bowman pulled a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building to stop the House that was scheduled to vote on a government funding bill, an incident the New York Democrat said was an "accident." IF That was any Republican like Trump or someone who supported him well the news coverage would have been insane and the liberal left would try to have him jailed for the rest of time.



This is why people know the left has it fixed! He did something which the left claims is part of what Trump did in Jan 6th. He "stopped or delayed a vote in congress." But yet why hasna't Jamaal been officially charged you ask? Again the left covers up the bad things they do and attack anything the right does. At this point Trump can't fart without having charges brought against him for "Climate Warming" or some crazy shit... (Puns intended...) So the former President on Thursday railed against the judge who will deliver verdicts in his $250 million New York fraud trial, one day after storming out of the courtroom in the middle of witness testimony.



Trump’s posted on Truth Social followed a dramatic trial day in which Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron put Trump on the witness stand, fined him $10,000 for violating his gag order and shot down a request for a sweeping verdict in his favor. The latest attacks against the rights under the constitution of Trump has become so clear, and he being such a prolific social media user knows how to tell his supporters the truth while these leftists corrupt people keep trying to bring these charges without a victim or actual real crime to jail an innocent man because they fear he will win in 2024 and return to the oval office. So turning to the court of public opinion to fight his mounting legal challenges Trump uses social media, and the people stand with him. The liberals are scared and the Judge in this case is trying hard to silence him.



So the judge is trying to silence him with a gag order in two separate cases, including special counsel Jack Smith’s federal case charging Trump with conspiring to subvert his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Something that "Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams" are both guilty off but it's Trump who gets charges against him? By the way why hasn't Sniffing JOE Biden, and Hillary Clinton not been charged for having Documents in their possesion when they did not have the legal rights to take home? While in Florida here it's another case Trump faces.



You see the complete hypocrisy here? But back to the NY case, Trump is prohibited from publicly targeting Smith or potential witnesses, both of whom he has frequently referenced online and on the campaign trail. When those restrictions were temporarily paused last week, Trump fired off attacks against both the special counsel and his former White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, a witness in Smith’s case. So the left can smear him and say all they want but if he defends himself "GAG ORDER & FINED!" Again.. You see the complete hypocrisy here?



In the New York civil fraud case, Engoron already ruled twice that Trump violated his narrow gag order, which merely bars him from attacking the judge’s staff. Upon finding that Trump’s testimony rang “hollow and untrue,” Engoron has now fined him a total of $15,000. The judge has warned Trump that additional violations will yield much more severe sanctions — including possible imprisonment.



With his targets narrowing, Trump’s attacks appear to be intensifying. The least four lengthy social media posts on Thursday, Trump ripped Engoron as a “tyrannical and unhinged” and “fully biased Trump Hater” who “should be ashamed of himself” for his handling of the case. We all know this to be true so for saying "THE TRUTH" he's fined, and gaged? Welcome to the new America were is you tell the truth you get this. Now remember this is NOT A Jury case. So there is not one member of any Jury that potentially could be tainted. This is about Trump getting his known facts to the public and speaking about how unfair this trial and Judge has been.



“HE HAS GONE CRAZY IN HIS HATRED OF ‘TRUMP,’” wrote the former president, who also railed against New York Attorney General Letitia James, his ex-attorney Michael Cohen and a New York Times reporter. She who should be disbarred as the lied to the American people when she said she did not "run to get Trump" and now we have video showing her actually doing that. Showing what a liar she is... But if Trump points this out! OMG He's fined... Amazing!



They now are saying Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign is trying to capitalize on the case by criticizing it in multiple fundraising pleas as a “sham trial” led by a “Democrat judge” who “continues to harass” Trump. Engoron has already found Trump and other defendants liable for as he claimed "fraudulently inflating the values of real estate properties and key assets" a total b/s charge. This is like if you're selling your home or car and you ask a certain amount for it and the buyer comes back with a counter offer. 

You negotiate until both agree on a final number. The same principle is what Trump is accused off.. But this is about the value he claims on his properties right? He entered an amount the banks have a thing called "Adjusters" and they came out evaluated the properties and Trump agreed. He paid them all in time and everyone won. No victim the banks are happy with the deal.



So they want to destroy him over negotiating a good deal? OMG... Welcome to NAZI Germany folks. So for years of financial statements James brought the case, accusing Trump, his two adult sons, the Trump Organization and top executives of falsifying those asset values for a host of financial perks, including tax benefits and more favorable loan terms.



The trial, which is scheduled to last until late December, will resolve six other claims in James’ lawsuit. Engoron himself will deliver verdicts in the trial, which is being conducted without a jury again a fact Trump frequently protests on social media and at the courthouse. Rightfully so as the Judge and DA all have him "Guilty" without the possiblity of using facts and throwing this case out. A case which should have never been brought forward as this is beyond stupid and a clear case of election interference. By lying crooked people.



“He is a judge that found me GUILTY before the trial even started,” Trump said of Engoron in his social media screed Thursday. The posts also called Engoron a “Radical Left Judge” and claimed that he is ignoring a prior appeals court ruling “overturning” his decisions. A New York appeals court panel last month had cleared the trial to begin, denying Trump’s request to delay it. Engoron had imposed a narrow gag order on Trump on the second day of the trial, after Trump sent a Truth Social post attacking the judge’s law clerk, Allison Greenfield, who sits next to him in court.



About two weeks later, the judge found that Trump violated that gag order by failing to remove the post from his campaign website. Engoron fined Trump $5,000 in that instance and warned him that future violations would yield more severe sanctions, potentially including imprisonment.



During a break in the trial Wednesday, Trump complained to reporters outside the courtroom, “This judge is a very partisan judge with a person who’s very partisan sitting alongside him, perhaps even more partisan than he is.” After hearing about those remarks, Engoron briefly called Trump to the witness stand to explain himself. Trump said that he was referring to Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer, who had been testifying throughout the trial day. But Engoron found that answer unconvincing, and he fined Trump $10,000. “Don’t do it again or it will be worse,” Engoron warned in court.



In his written order Thursday morning, Engoron ruled that Trump intentionally violated the gag order. He noted that Cohen was sitting in the witness box, not alongside him, and said that Trump’s past attacks on Cohen have been less ambiguous. “Using imprecise language as an excuse to create plausible ambiguity about whether defendant violated this Court’s unequivocal gag order is not a defense; the subject of Donald Trump’s public statement to the press was unmistakably clear,” the judge wrote. The clash over the gag order was not the only contentious moment in the trial on Wednesday.



Defense lawyer Cliff Robert had asked for a directed verdict after Cohen, Trump’s once-loyal aide who is now a key witness against him, testified that he did not recall if Trump had asked him to inflate the values of his assets. Engoron denied the request, prompting Trump to get up and leave.



Cohen later clarified that while Trump speaks in indirect ways like a “mob boss,” he did communicate the outcome he wanted, according to NBC News. Engoron rejected another request for a directed verdict later in the day, telling Robert, “there’s enough evidence in this case to fill the courtroom.” On social media, Trump complained, “The unhinged Judge, a highly political and fully biased Trump Hater, refused to dismiss this HOAX of a case, and has lost all CREDIBILITY.”

Hunter Biden used the n-word multiple times in casual conversation, text messages show

The apple doesn’t far from the tree, and we know Joe Biden has a racist past so why are people shocked to find out his son Hunter Biden used the n-word multiple times in conversation with his white, $845-per-hour lawyer in texts messages? I’m not… I mean again Hunter Biden is a moron, and a drug addicted criminal.

The “shocking” texts may prove embarrassing for his father President Joe Biden, who just last week gave a speech decrying racism on the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre, and has sought to portray racial justice as a top priority for his administration. Joe doesn’t care about people of color or Latino folks all he does is pander to these communities to get votes, and use them for his agenda.

The president’s son joked in a January 2019 text to corporate attorney George Mesires about a ‘big penis’, and said to the lawyer: ‘I only love you because you’re black’ and ‘true dat n***a’. In another text a month earlier he wrote to the Chicago lawyer saying: ‘how much money do I owe you. Because (sic) n***a you better not be charging me Hennessy rates.’

Mesires replied: ‘That made me snarf my coffee.’
Hunter added: ‘That’s what im saying ni…’, cutting off the racial slur mid-word, then texted a picture to Mesires. 

A December 2018 text message exchange obtained by DailyMail.com show Hunter asked Mesires: ‘How much money do I owe you. Becaause (sic) n***a you better not be charging me Hennessy rates’

In another exchange the following month, Hunter flippantly addressed Messires as ‘n***a’ again and cracked jokes saying ‘I only love you because you’re black’ during a seemingly somber conversation. But Mesires replied: ‘Why are you so tan?’ ‘I’m sorry for sexting you accidentally that was meant for another friend named Georgia,’ Hunter replied.

In the January text exchange, the two men were talking about philosophy and bantering with each other…

Among the photos stored on Hunter’s laptop was a meme of his father and President Obama that also included the n-word, though it is unclear why he saved it but the meme, dated June 5, 2017, was in reference to Obama and Biden’s White House departure in 2016. Hunter is pictured with his father and President Obama in 2010

In October 2018 Mesires sent a bill to Hunter’s business partner Mervyn Yan, involved in his infamous deal with Chinese oil giant CEFC, showing the attorney’s hourly rate of $845. The bill, which included ‘teleconferences with H. Biden regarding Hudson West’, Hunter’s joint venture with the Chinese, totaled $88,465, for 107 hours work from August 2017 to April 2018.

Among the photos stored on Hunter’s laptop was a meme which also included the n-word. Hunter said the racial slur multiple times while speaking to Chicago corporate attorney George Mesires – who is reported to have an hourly rate of $845 The meme, dated June 5, 2017, included a photo of Joe Biden hugging Barack Obama with a caption describing a joke conversation between the former president and vice president.

Obama: Gonna miss you, man
‘Joe: Can I say it? Just this once?
‘Obama: *sigh* go ahead
‘Joe: You my n***a, Barack’

It is unclear why Hunter saved the meme on his computer. The president’s son and the White House have repeatedly failed to respond to any requests from about any of the material on his laptop. The 51-year-old’s computer had a week of his internet browsing history from March 2019 saved on it before he abandoned it at a Delaware shop, which showed pornographic photos and videos downloaded on his laptop included an orgy between a woman and several black men.

Hunter’s father has attempted to make race a central issue in both his presidential campaign – which came amid nationwide protests over racism and police brutality in 2020 and in his administration. The messages have emerged just days after Joe Biden gave a speech decrying racism on the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre in Oklahoma Biden receives standing ovation for calling Tulsa ‘riots’ a massacre ‘Some injustices are so heinous, so horrific, so grievous, they cannot be buried, no matter how hard people try,’ he said. ‘Only with truth can come healing.’ Biden pledged to help fight racism in policing following George Floyd’s death, and has even backed studies exploring reparations for slavery and other injustices against African Americans. The president picked the US’s first black vice president, and was himself VP to the first black president. In an interview on NBC’s Today show in April, the president said he did not believe that the country was racist.

The texts may prove embarrassing to the president, who has sought to portray racial justice as a top priority for his administration ‘I don’t think America is racist,’ he said. ‘but I think the overhang from all of the Jim Crow—and before that, slavery have had a cost. ‘After 400 years African Americans have been left in a position where they’re so far behind the eight ball in terms of education, health in terms of opportunity. ‘We have to deal with it.’ Biden was previously the subject of a smear attempt that claimed he had used the n-word as a racial epithet. The smear used a video of a 1985 Senate hearing in which Biden says ‘We already have a n****r mayor, we don’t need any more n****r big shots!’

The then-senator did utter the words, but was in fact quoting a Louisiana lawmaker, asking then-deputy attorney general nominee William Bradford Reynolds why he had ignored the racist comments by the lawmaker and allowed gerrymandering that underrepresented black residents. However, some attitudes towards uttering the n-word even in quotes have turned since the 1985 hearing. In October 2020, a first-year student at Rutgers Law School in Newark used the word while quoting from a 1993 legal opinion in class, warning her fellow students beforehand that the quote contained the slur. The student said: ‘He said, um – and I’ll use a racial word, but it’s a quote. He says, ‘I’m going to go to Trenton and come back with my n*****s”.’

A race war almost erupted last month when her fellow students circulated a petition demanding she and professor apologize. The New York Times reported that University staff discussed barring the word’s use in class in a meeting following the row.
