Trump Criticizes NY Judge and AG James Following Cohen Testimony

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday lashed out at the judge presiding over his civil fraud trial, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and his former attorney Michael Cohen accusing him of “massive perjury.”

Trump, in a statement on his social media platform Truth Social, criticized Judge Arthur F. Engoron for fining him $10,000 for violating a gag order, and went on to say that Cohen was “collapsing and choking yesterday under cross-examination, and completely admitting that I did nothing wrong.”

Trump also claimed that Cohen “committed MASSIVE PERJURY, at a level seldom seen on the stand before,” and said that “This case should be ended, NOW, but this Judge and his ‘boss,’ Letitia Peekaboo James, will never let that happen.”

The former president said that the judge “even refuses to accept our big win in the Appeals Court. It is a disgrace to the legal system in the State of New York. This is a RIGGED CASE!”

Trump went on to accuse Engoron of having “gone crazy in his hatred of ‘Trump,’ ” and later described him as “a tyrannical and unhinged Trump-Hating Judge.” Trump also accused Engoron of “judicial misconduct” and James of “prosecutorial misconduct,” and said his trial is a “complete [and] total miscarriage of justice.”
