Trump Emerges From Courtroom and Cites Fox News Pundits Slamming His Prosecution: ‘A Whopping Outrage’
Former President Donald Trump emerged from a Manhattan courthouse on Thursday and once again griped about the criminal case against him. Moments earlier, the jury in the case was impaneled after four days of juror selection. Alternative jurors remain to be seated.,
Trump is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments. He has pleaded not guilty to all counts.
“I’m supposed to be in New Hampshire, I’m supposed to be in Georgia, I’m supposed to be in North Carolina, in South Carolina, I’m supposed to be a lot of places campaigning,” he said addressing reporters while holding a stack of news articles about his trial. “But I’ve been here all day on a trial that really is a very unfair trial. These are all stories, this is from the last few days.”
Trump spent a few minutes thumbing through the articles from the Wall Street Journal and National Review. At one point, the former president cited three Fox News legal analysts in quick succession in an attempt to exonerate himself.
“‘The whopping outrage in Trump’s indictment,'” he said, reading the headline from an article by Fox News’ Andrew McCarthy. He then cited two more Fox News analysts. “Jonathan Turley. Gregg Jarrett. Andrew McCarthy. Every one of them saying, they call it a zombie case, meaning it is no case. And they say it’s unconstitutional.”
After flipping through a few more pages, Trump then complained about the temperature inside the courtroom.
“And I’m sitting here for days now from morning until night in that freezing room,” he went on. “Everybody was freezing in there. And all for this. This is your result.”
