“I should be in New Hampshire, campaigning and fighting for our Country, and I will be later today, but for now I had to spend time in a Federal Courthouse with a Trump Hating, Radical Left Judge, on a case that is another politically biased WITCH HUNT – ONE DAY AFTER IOWA, AND JUST AHEAD OF THE IMPORTANT NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY. THIS HOAX, WHICH THE ‘BULLY’ JUDGE CHOSE TO HAVE AS TWO TRIALS INSTEAD OF MERGING INTO ONE, IS A DISGRACE, AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. His former Law Clerk(?) is on the other side. Anyway, I’ll be in New Hampshire at 6:30 PM, a BIG crowd is waiting. MAGA!!!” writes disgraced former President Trump on Truth Social.
The fat bastard didn’t need to be in Manhattan for the jury selection. Defendants are not required to be present at civil trials and indeed he walked out before the opening statements. The reason why there were two trials is because the first one was conducted in federal court under New York State law and this one is in a federal court. He knows this and he’s full of shit, but in doing so he also forgot to lie about being tied down with his mother-in-law’s funeral.
