Trump Trial Day 5 Begins
No one is above the law
A small group of anti-Trump protesters was reported to be outside the courthouse building, and according to the NY Times, there were chanting “No one is above the law.” There was also a small group of Trump supporters; Trump apparently complained they were kept far from the building.
Trump spoke again outside the courtroom to say what he always says…..”Not fair, not fair, not fair….”
In a ruling at the beginning of the morning, Judge Merchan states he will allow a transcript of the Billy Bush Access Hollywood tape, but not the actual tape, and he will allow explanation of Trump’s guilt in the E Jean Carroll trial. These rulings make it harder for Trump to testify, which he wants to do. He shook his head when the Judge read his decisions.
The jury will be watching Trump’s behavior during the trial, but particularly during prosecution opening statement. Likeability is key, according to experts on CNN.
Opening statements have begun, first from the prosecution.
More later.
Thank you Liza! You're in NYC and can illustrate what you learn... And this is a wonderful wonderful gift for your subscribers! You rock, Lady!!!
I love how you drew Trump standing behind the stanchion, which also looks like the side of a baby crib, and there he is stamping his feet and crying like a big old baby! Wah 😭
