Well it sure wasn’t good for trump 😂 will he take the stand in his defense he said he couldn’t wait to testify 😉

[@conniewojahn6445]

diaper don know that taking the stand will open him up to questions he does not want to answer in court, all the lies he's blathered outside of the court room will be taken down in court.

[@Warguard9]

Where did she get this from... Cohen said... and we know he tells the truth. He corroborated his own story.

[@rrbernhardt5810]

He also brought the receipts for all of his claims along the way.

[@1tonio567]

Not just his story but everyone from Trump org that testified. They literally have receipts for everything.

[@newman4664]

Cohen and Psaki have too much in common.

[@ernestoxavier5426]

Wouldn't it be more than fair to say, that team trump doesn't have a leg to stand on, they just has a big mouth. 🤣

[@holymags2495]

His Gag Squad was disgusting

[@kristieshaw4806]

Exactly. This.

[@ziggzaggzip8241]

Trump's bigly supporter is his immigrant wife. She's been there for her devoted and loyal husband since the beginning of this trial. Like in another state 😂😂😂😂 😂😂

[@krnpowr]

She was with Justin Trudeau.

[@Jriefkohl1]

And those are legal expenses.

[@mikeemerson1091]

Soul for sale to the highest bidder. Total loyalty until the next highest bidder.

[@sc1]

Please feature more of this reporter. Very informative.

[@susanharris9411]

Usually people do get paid monthly or by monthly or try monthly or for other things, let’s piece together hypothetical BS story you guys know how to do it the best

[@ricksterbobolishious7523]

Don't you need credibility in order to undercut credibility?

[@iguanawomanclaudiahodari3579]

Trump for Prison 2024

[@bzb500]

And for what exactly?

[@donguyen4266]

Where's the crime? This is politically motivated

[@davismiller4369]

Brilliant prosecution. Enfeebled defense. There is no defense for Trump. 34 counts times five years each is the appropriate sentence for Trump.

[@typheran1]

LOL how is that TDS treating you?

[@danielroman7699]

​@@typheran1What's TDS?

[@galatianman4293]

For a crime that is a misdemeanor

[@Really........]

MC can remember every single detail and reason why when asked about what he did in 2016 but mysteriously cannot recall a thing about what he did in 2023. Dude just can't stop lying.

[@matthewfry4694]

Ya Cohen sucks for the Trump train reack

[@user-mz7ss7pm5v]

Worthless reporting, what a bunch of amateurs.

[@typheran1]

You know your case is weak when you r star witnesses has been arrested for perjury.

[@penguinista]

Worse criminals than Trump get put away all the time on the testimony of witnesses much worse than Cohen. Criminals surround themselves with criminals. Trump picked Cohen, not the prosecution.

[@raydugas845]

Desperate times call for desperate measures when you stick a known perjurer up there.

[@guybeingaguy]

He’s a liar. He will say whatever you pay him to say.

[@inthewoodshed9611]

Denial- Kiss the ring

[@GM-nr2jq]

Maybe so, hence the reason the prosecutors laid out the very accurate paper trail…the trail does not lie

[@peterbowring3830]

Prosecutors have nothing and thier star witness was a fizzle. Charges can't be laid so trials all but over

[@isaitrujillo2323]

This lady just lied, they have to prove intent

[@bilboman1]

I doubt Cohen can even tie his own shoes.... This case is a JOKE!

[@scottkrater2131]

Submit that to the failing defense attorneys. Maybe it'll work for them.

[@floydhutcherson1732]

What a disaster! At least we still have Fani Willis and Jack Smith. They will have him convicted by November.

[@heavenlyblue]

Americans LOVE Trump !

[@inthewoodshed9611]

Not the educated ones

[@bzb500]

​@@inthewoodshed9611 Who? What? Where? Illegals?
