Trump is right. If he says something wrong when testifying the judge can throw him in jail in violation of the gag order. Trump didn't lie.
Damn if you do damn if you don't moment.

TFG insisted all along he would testify in his own defence in his criminal trial, but no one believed he’s go through with it. Then yesterday he announced that he can’t testify because of his gag order. This is, of course, not how anything works.
In a reminder that TFG isn’t actually getting away with any of this, Judge Merchan called him out in court today, pointing out that the gag order does not prevent him from testifying. This is important because it eliminates any opportunity for him to appeal a guilty verdict by claiming he didn’t know he was allowed to testify.
Of course the bigger story is that TFG is so far gone, he can’t take the stand in his own defence. He’d end up going on an unhinged bender that would further incriminate him, and the topics he’d bring up would merely allow prosecutors to bring up additional forms of evidence against him.
They have nothing on Trump. He's just picking up votes being tied down in this kangaroo court. Who needs to campaign when the fake news media now covers him daily?
This is 2016 all over again. I thought CNN and MSNBC learned their lesson covering Trump 24/7? I guess not. Free media coverage for the Don.

The left …Judge Cannon must recuse ! Gee…I wonder why
There’s no home field advantage in Judge Cannon’s courtroom in Fla Libs .
Special Counsel Jack Smith's team admitted on Friday that key evidence in Trump's classified documents case was altered or manipulated - leaving two different chronologies; one that was digitally scanned vs. what's in the actual boxes.
Smith also misled the court, after originally telling U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon that the boxes remained "in their original, intact form as seized," when in a footnote they conceded that they removed classified documents and left placeholder sheets, which prosecutors acknowledged has created an "inconsistent" record - in which some of the documents are no longer in the same order as they appear in digital scans made in the fall of 2022.
The Government acknowledges that this is inconsistent with what Government counsel previously understood and represented to the Court," the footnote reads, according to Just the News.
The finding comes after Cannon ordered a review into whether the FBI may have seized legally privileged records in response to a request from Trump co-defendant Walt Nauta

How often do criminal defendants get held in contempt 10 times without being sent to jail?
He promised that the many women who accused him of sexual misconduct “will be sued after the election is over.” He hasn’t sued them, presumably because he doesn’t want the truth to come out.
He said Mexico would pay for his border wall. The wall cost American taxpayers an estimated $11 billion.
Defense lawyer Emil Bove got McConney to acknowledge that he had no direct interaction with Trump about the payments to Michael Cohen. “I did not ... not ever,” McConney said. The former Trump Organization controller said the people who told him to issue the payments — Cohen and then-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg — never told him precisely what the payments were for or what Trump knew about them.

they had no intention of ever winning this case. Its simply a way to keep Trump off the campaign trail and a sad attempt to convict him of some ridiculous charge which will be over turned on appeal if it even happens and because the polls suggest that some people will be less likely to vote for Trump if he is convicted. I don't believe those polls. This is really a black eye on the American justice system.
