  • Trump Fumes In Court as Biden Campaigns
    Political Wire, Tuesday - 04/23/2024 - 06:37 PM

A bit of the highlights, from both sides: Out of the gate. "Defendant has violated this order repeatedly and hasn't stopped," prosecutor says, adding that Trump even did it on Monday in the halls of the courtroom. — Kaelan Deese (@KaelanDC) April 23, 2024 Lots of back and forth about posts and statements, but the prosecutors make it clear that they have Trump's number.
