Democrats Fume As Trump Looks Better In Court


During an appearance on Newsmax’s “Saturday Report,” former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker shared insights into Hope Hicks’ testimony in former President Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial. Contrary to expectations, Whitaker suggested that Hicks’ testimony might have bolstered Trump’s defense.

According to Whitaker, Hicks clarified that the nondisclosure agreements in question were not related to the campaign but rather were personal matters. Trump’s concern, as conveyed by Hicks, was to shield his wife, Melania, from false allegations that could distress her. This distinction is crucial as Trump faces charges of falsifying business records regarding a $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign, which he vehemently denies.

Whitaker criticized the prosecution’s legal strategy, labeling it as flawed and based on misconstrued facts. He pointed out the inadequacy of their witnesses, including Michael Cohen, a former associate of Trump. Whitaker emphasized that the crux of the matter lies not in campaign-related issues but in the challenges posed by today’s celebrity-centric culture, as highlighted by attorney Keith Davidson’s testimony on the prevalence of nondisclosure agreements.

Furthermore, Whitaker underscored the distinction between mixed-purpose expenses and campaign expenses, citing rejections of the case by both the Federal Election Commission and the Southern District of New York. He raised concerns about the legal theories employed by District Attorney Alvin Bragg and questioned the fairness of Judge Juan Merchan’s conduct throughout the trial.

Of particular concern to Whitaker was the possibility of Trump facing jail time for violating a gag order imposed by Judge Merchan. He deemed such an outcome as an outrageous overreach, suggesting it could potentially sway political sentiments in Trump’s favor.

In summary, Whitaker’s analysis painted a picture of a trial marred by legal ambiguities and procedural irregularities, with Trump’s defense benefiting from Hicks’ testimony and the inadequacies of the prosecution’s case.
