Trump’s led a consequence-free life, but it doesn’t work that way for litigators who break the rules.

Donald Trump may be acquitted, he may be re-elected president. But while his trial in Manhattan continues, he is denied the adoration he craves, while looking far from a winner.

The ex-president’s penchant for intimidating witnesses now means his legal team won’t have advance warning on who’s testifying for the prosecution each day.

Trump thinks people shouldn’t be allowed to call him a “rapist.” One major problem: the judge presiding over the E. Jean Carroll trial has already called him that.

When he clinches the GOP nomination, the ex-president—currently under indictment for taking, hiding, and refusing to return classified docs—will have access to similar info again.

The former president was found liable for behavior that a judge said is commonly understood as “rape.” So why not call him what he apparently is?

When it’s almost certain you’re going to lose, you want to make the judge like you. The former president, however, is trying something…different.

The disgraced ex-“America’s Mayor” says the president defamed him by calling him a “Russian pawn” during a 2020 debate.
