from The Huffington Post,
5/10/23:
Trump refused to testify at the trial, then falsely claimed he was “not allowed to speak or defend” himself.
“I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS,” Trump subsequently posted. “THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE – A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!”
In an emailed statement to HuffPost, the Trump campaign attempted to reframe the case as “a political endeavor” targeting Trump due to his status as “an overwhelming front-runner” in the 2024 presidential election.
The statement added that Trump plans to appeal the verdict.
