Trump told the press gathered in the courthouse that the judge was going to find him guilty, "because this judge is a very partisan judge with a person who's very partisan sitting alongside ... perhaps even more partisan than him."
Trump was clearly referring to the Judge's law clerk in violation of the gag order. Trump's lawyers claimed that he was talking about Michael Cohen, which is ridiculous. The judge then said he was taking it under advisement and reserving ruling on what to do next. He certainly didn't seem to buy the bogus explanation.There’s always a bit more:
Judge Engoron also repeatedly ordered Trump and his lawyers to stop holding impromptu "press conferences" inside the courthouse, which is not permitted. Trump continues to violate that every day as well.Of course , all Trump is doing is pissing off the man who is going to decide how much to milky him for. Violations of the gag order are almost secondary, although the judge is right to enforce the one in effect.
Watch this space.
