Hope Hicks' testimony was dramatic and honest to the extent that she disclosed her closeness to Don The Con and his family and praised his political tactics, and then incriminated him by disclosing that Trump wanted to hide the payoff for election purposes... and then she broke down crying on the witness stand:

“[A]s we know, there are known knowns—there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns—that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”—Donald Rumsfeld, 2002

Another hilarious Saturday Night Live "news" skit using Don The Con and Biden as fodder:

“[A]s we know, there are known knowns—there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns—that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”—Donald Rumsfeld, 2002

This YouTube Short video is even more hilarious than the above Saturday Night Live video.

Don The Con simply cannot stop diggin himself into a hole deeper and deeper. In the U.S. State of Michigan, he defamed E. Jean Carroll a 3rd time:

Don The Con's ReTrumplicans are at it again. It's a one-trick-pony party--threats of a coup d'etat in 2020 and now, 2024 too.

Judge Merchan found Don The Con to be in criminal contempt of court again, and issued a stern warning to Trump that further violations may lead to jail time:

Judge Juan Merchan has found Donald Trump in contempt, again, for violating a gag order, and warned the former president that he will consider jail time for any subsequent infraction.

Trump was fined $9,000 last week, $1,000 for each of nine previous violations. Merchan said:

Mr Trump, as you know, the prosecution has filed three separate motions to find you in criminal contempt. It appears that the $1,000 fines are not a deterrent.

You are the former president of the United States and possibly the next president as well... but at the end of the day, I have a job to do and part of that job is to protect the dignity of the judicial system.

Merchan said Trump’s actions “constitute a direct attack on the rule of law [and] I cannot allow that to continue”:

So as much as I do not want to impose a jail sanction... I want you to understand that I will, if necessary, and appropriate.

Trump has posted repeated attacks to his Truth Social site on the jury and witnesses such as his former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen. The warning from Merchan is notable because prosecutors have not yet asked for a jail sanction. (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/liv ... ve-updates)

This just in...

Don The Con was fined 1000 USD, along with the jail warning:

Stormy Daniels is about to create a stormy court in Don The Con's ongoing felony criminal trial in Manhattan today:
