  1. I'm ELATED Trump has finally been convicted by a jury! He is facing justice for the first time in his entire privileged life. We don't know about sentencing until July 11th. We don't know how this will affect the next election. BUT WE CAN LIVE IN THE MOMENT AND BE HAPPY AND CELEBRATE THIS WIN! TODAY IS A GOOD DAY FOR DEMOCRACY AND THE RULE OF LAW! #TrumpTrial #trumpGuilty #trumpIndictment #trumpFelon

  2. @GottaLaff logging onto mastodon, purely to be in good company and celebrate the news. That slippery slimeball has never had to take responsibility for anything. Something finally caught up with him! Amazing!

  3. Fmr DC Metropolitan PD Officer #MichaelFanone’s 78-year-old mother was the victim of a #swatting call hours after he spoke outside the criminal #TrumpTrial in #NewYork.

    During the #insurrection on #Jan6, Fanone was nearly killed by #Trump supporters while protecting congresspeople & staff inside the Capitol building.

  4. #TrumpTrial 🧵 Monday 20 May 2024

    #Trump has a huge posse today, including #KashPatel; #GerryKassar, a #conservative party leader in NY; #BernieKerik, fmr NYPD commissioner who was imprisoned for tax fraud & false statements; #AlanDershowitz, lawyer who defended Trump during his first impeachment, & #BorisEpshteyn, *legal* adviser who was #indicted in AZ for attempts to keep Trump in power after the 2020 election.

  5. #Blanche may be suggesting that when #Trump referred to "cash" in that recording, he could have been referencing any number of payments.

    (But the recording specifically
    said “our friend David” meaning #Pecker)

    Trump aides #BorisEpshteyn & #KarolineLeavitt smile at this line of questioning w/ #MichaelCohen (maybe it was their idea)

  6. #Hoffinger is going through a lengthy list of all that #MichaelCohen has lost financially. This is similar to something #StormyDaniels said, when pushed on cross-examination about whether she had money to gain by telling her story about #Trump. She said that she had also lost a lot.

    Cohen also acknowledges that he has been #disbarred.

  7. Word has gone out to #Trump allies over the past few days that Trump wants to see a bigger show of support inside the courtroom. Trump's entourage is big enough today that they’re having trouble arranging themselves in the 2 rows of seats set aside for supporters of the defense's side.

    Trump walks into the courtroom, trailed by #DougBurgum, #VivekRamaswamy, Eric & #LaraTrump, #BorisEpshteyn, & #AlinaHabba.

  8. #Bove raises the Jan 6, 2017 meeting that took place in #Trump’s office at TrumpTower w/ #JamesComey, then the #FBI dir, #MikePompeo, soon to be the #CIA dir, #ReincePriebus, soon to be the #WhiteHouse chief of staff, & #SeanSpicer, soon to be the WH press sec.

    Bove asks #Pecker about how #Comey & Trump later had a contentious relationship. Prosecutors object, & Bove asks for a sidebar. Justice #Merchan sustains the objection.

  9. The Trump Tower meeting also included #JamesComey, then the #FBI dir, #ReincePriebus, who was chair of the RNC, #SeanSpicer the WH press sec & #MikePompeo the dir of the CIA.

    Totally normal.

    At that meeting #Pecker reassured #Trump that everything was fine.

    Trump then told the group that Pecker probably “knows more than anyone else in this room.”

    “It was a joke,” Pecker testified, adding, “They didn’t laugh.”

  10. Okay, after feeding/hydrating/bathing/drying/loving #BabySquirrel Ramone, my #TrumpTrial coverage is back on. Thank goodness they recognize adoptive #squirrel parental rights [obviously I’m kidding]

    #BorisEpshteyn, Trump's #illegal adviser who was indicted yesterday in #Arizona, is here.

    #Epshteyn is *aggressively* using his cell phone, which is #barred in #court. #CourtOfficers who patrol #journalists & others from doing the same aren’t enforcing the restriction on him.

  11. #Pecker just gave us a very detailed description of #JaredKushner walking him into Trump Tower, & then into #Trump's office, shortly before Trump's inauguration as president. In the office were 4 noteworthy people: #JamesComey, #SeanSpicer, #ReincePriebus & #MikePompeo.

    [umm, holy hell, please charge those mfers]

  12. This is the epitome of #CatchAndKill & #Pecker said several times in different ways that he was acting on #Trump's behalf.

    #Steinglass moved on to the 2nd catch-&-kill deal, involving fmr #PlayboyModel #KarenMcDougal.

    Pecker testified that he asked #DylanHoward, the fmr editor of The #NationalEnquirer, to investigate #McDougal's story & that he told #MichaelCohen he had done so.

  13. #Colangelo says #Pecker will testify that $150k was more than The #NationalEnquirer would typically have paid for such a deal, & that Pecker had trouble being reimbursed. Crucially, Colangelo says, Pecker will testify that he spoke to #Trump about it.

    Colangelo mentions an audio #recording #Cohen made between himself & Trump discussing the #McDougal deal.

  14. Someone who's this angry about being rejected as a #juror after being caught lying about past criminal charges is exactly the type of person who shouldn't be on the #jury. This guy clearly had an agenda, and was rightly dismissed. Great work by #JudgeMerchan and the prosecutor!

  15. Colony Capital was founded by #TomBarrack, a real estate mogul who chaired #Trump's #inauguration cmte & was the 2016 Trump campaign’s go to on foreign policy stuff.

    Barrack was charged & went to #trial in Brooklyn #federal court re #FARA - it was alleged he was secretly acting as a foreign agent on behalf of the UAE in the campaign & then the WH.

    In the end he was acquitted - but there was a cooperation deal.

  16. Asked if he received professional training related to #GAAP, #DonaldTrumpJr answered “no”

    Asked who his employer is, #Trump Jr replied: "I believe it's still Trump Payroll Corp”

    Asked if he's familiar with rent-stabilization law, Jr says: "I was then. I probably forgot most of it now."

    (Money well spent 🙄. #privilege)
    (Also EVERYONE/ANYONE who EVER LIVED IN #NYC knows that law)
