BREAKING: Donald Trump is dealt a humiliating blow in court as he's sworn in as a witness to answer for violating his gag order — immediately falls flat on his face — and gets slapped with a $10,000 fine.
This is just too good...
Trump was sworn in as a witness to respond to the obviously true allegations that he violated the gag order that prevents him from talking about court staff in his civil fraud case.
The disgraced former president took to the stand, straightened his wrinkled jacket, and sat down. He took the oath and then faced Judge Arthur Engoron.
The judge asked Trump if he had indeed said that he is a "very partisan judge with a person who is very partisan sitting alongside him, perhaps even more partisan than he is."
"Yes," said Trump with a nod.
"To whom were you referring?" Engoron asked.
“You and Cohen,” Trump replied.
"Are you sure that you didn’t mean the person on the other side, my principal law clerk?" Engoron asked.
"Yes I’m sure," Trump said.
Trump left the stand after testifying for a brief three minutes. The judge, unconvinced, then slapped him with a $10,000 fine.
Given Trump's mounting legal fees, this is not the kind of thing he can afford right now.
