The presiding judge of former President Donald Trump's Manhattan trial, Juan Merchan, said Trump's defense team is 'losing all credibility' during a gag order hearing.
Judge Juan Merchan told President Donald Trump’s defense team they were 'losing all credibility' during a Tuesday hearing on whether the 45th president violated a gag order in the Manhattan criminal trial. 'I have to tell you right now, you’re losing all credibility in the court,' Merchan told Trump attorney Todd Blanche on Tuesday.
The DA’s office last week argued that Trump violated the order on several occasions, including on social media, and argued he should pay a $1,000 fine each for a handful of the instances. Prosecutors alleged Tuesday that Trump violated the order a total of 10 times. NY VS. The defense team argued in the hearing that Trump was responding to attacks when he made comments allegedly violating the order. Merchan pressed Blanche to provide instances of where Trump was responding to a specific incident. 'I’ve asked you 8 or 9 times, ‘show me the exact post that he was responding to’ and you haven’t been able to do that once,' Merchan said. The defense team argued that Trump did not violate the order and should not face penalties.
Trump is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. He has pleaded not guilty to all counts. The trial itself focuses on Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen paying former pornographic actor Stormy Daniels $130,000 to allegedly quiet her claims of an alleged extramarital affair she had with the then-real estate tycoon in the early 2000s. Trump has denied having an affair with Daniels.
