Reporters peppered former President Donald Trump before and after he ranted outside the courthouse, pressing him on whether hell testify with one suggesting hes afraid to.
Court resumed Monday morning in the Stormy Daniels hush money-election interference trial after a week that see-sawed between damaging direct examination of ex-Trump fixer Michael Cohen and cross-examinations that took chunks out of Cohen and his credibility. Cohens testimony continued on Monday. The week was also characterized by a growing Greek chorus of Trump surrogates from Congress and other elected officials showing up to attack on Trumps behalf.
On his way into court Monday morning, Trump paused to deliver an angry seven-minute rant loaded with familiar attacks and falsehoods, as well as now-customary recitations of supportive statements from pundits, and a rare shout-out to acting and singing legend Peggy Lee. But the questions with which Trump was bombarded were almost unanimously about one thing whether or not he will take the stand as the trial winds down.
TRUMP: Hes totally conflicted! This is the most conflicted judge, probably in the history of the court system. And everyone knows what Im talking about! Thank you very much.
