IF YOU ARE A REAL “JUSTICE SEEKER” YOU WOULD SEE THAT THIS [GERMANIC] JOURNALISTIC SPEW IS GEARED AGAINST DONALD TRUMP BEFORE ANY JUDGEMENT IS PASSED — WHETHER YOU THINK DONALD TRUMP IS A SLEAZE BAG, A CLOWN OR A DEVIOUS BUSINESSMAN.

AS WELL, THE LITTLE SUBHEADS ARE CALLED “CRIME, CRIME, CRIME” FOR EACH OF THE ITEMS. THIS IS SUBTLE COERCION TO MAKE YOU THINK THAT TRUMP IS A CRIMINAL…

FROM DW...

The judge presiding over former US President Donald Trump's case, for allegedly mishandling classified documents after leaving office, indefinitely postponed the start of his trial on Tuesday.

Trump had been scheduled to go on trial on May 20 but US District Judge Aileen Cannon said that was not possible because of the number of pre-trial motions before the court.

Cannon, a Trump appointee, did not set a new date for the start of the federal trial and it is unlikely to take place before the presidential election, which will take place in November.

Cannon said in a five-page order that it would be "imprudent" to set a new date.

What is Trump accused of?

Trump is accused of illegally keeping highly sensitive information after leaving the Oval Office at the beginning of 2021.

In August 2022, the FBI raided his Florida mansion, seizing files classified as top secret.

Trump is also alleged to have made attempts to obstruct the probe. 

Trump's legal battles

Trump's attorneys have sought to delay his various criminal cases until after the presidential election, when the 77-year-old could potentially have the federal charges against him dropped if he returns to the White House.

Tuesday's development would appear to be a success for Trump, as he is trying to delay the start of the process as much as possible, with the presidential election just months away.

Trump is currently on trial in New York where he is accused of paying $130,000 in "hush money" to Stormy Daniels to remain silent about an affair ahead of the 2016 presidential election, an allegation the Republican candidate denies.

Stormy Daniels, the adult film star at the center of former US President Donald Trump's hush money trial, took the stand in New York on Tuesday.

Daniels, 45, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, claims to have had sex with Trump in July 2006, while he was married, and said the former US President paid her $130,000 in "hush money" to remain silent about the affair ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

Trump, 77, is accused of manipulating financial records to conceal the payment, which he denies. Indeed he denies having had any sexual relationship with the adult film star.

In her testimony, Daniels described her first meeting with Trump at a celebrity golf tournament in July 2006 and a subsequent dinner.

Stormy Daniels recalls first meeting with Trump

Recounting her first meeting with Trump at a celebrity golf tournament in Tahoe in 2006, Daniels described an initial "very brief encounter.*" [PLEASE NOTE HOW THIS IS USED BY A JOURNALISTIC HACK TO HEADLINE HIS CRAP AGAINST TRUMP... SEE AT END OF THIS ARTICLE*]

After that, she said she met him again in a hotel suite, where she said Trump remembered her "specifically" because "I was the smart one."

Later, she recalls, one of Trump's assistants, bodyguard Keith Schiller, told her that Trump wanted to meet her for dinner and took her phone number.

Daniels said that, after initially declining the invitation, she was eventually convinced to go for dinner by her publicist, who cited Trump's fame.

Daniels describes hotel dinner

Daniels said the dinner date took place in Trump's penthouse suite in the hotel. She said he had been wearing satin pajamas when he arrived, but she told him to change clothes, which he did, according to Daniel's account.

While at the dining table in the suite, she said Trump asked her "business-like" questions about her work in the adult film industry, as well as about her family and upbringing.

During their dinner, Daniels recalls that Trump suggested she appear on The Apprentice, his reality TV show.

According to Daniels, Trump said she reminded him of his daughter, Ivanka.

Daniels said that, during the dinner, she told Trump off for interrupting her. She then claimed Trump dared her to "spank" him and that she obliged, hitting him with a magazine. Trump, sitting at the defendant's table, appeared to deny this.

Daniels testifies that she had sex with Trump

After a brief morning break, during which Judge Juan Merchan warned prosecutor Susan Hoffinger, who was questioning Daniels, that "the degree of detail we are going into is unnecessary" and told her to "move it along," Daniels continued her testimony with a description of her alleged sexual activity with Trump.

Daniels said she didn't feel physically or verbally threatened by Trump but that she had perceived an "imbalance of power" given that Trump was "bigger and blocking the way.”

"The next thing I know was: I was on the bed," Daniels recalled. However, Trump's legal team raised immediate objections to the vivid level of detail.

Trump, who reportedly appeared restless and fidgety at the defendant's table, has always denied any sexual encounter with Daniels.

Eventually, Hoffinger resorted to more basic "yes" or "no" questions.

After the "brief" encounter, Daniels said she was shaking and that she "just wanted to leave."

She claimed Trump said: "Oh it was great, let's get together again."

Trump trial now in third week

So far in the trial, which is now into its third week of witness testimonies, jurors have heard from a series of witnesses from Trump's entourage during his 2016 presidential campaign.

On Monday, Judge Merchan found Trump to be in contempt of court for a second time, fining him $1,000 for another violation of a gag order. Last week, he had been fined $9,000 for nine further violations after making a series of inflammatory out-of-court comments about witnesses and jurors.

Merchan warned the former president that any more violations could be punished with jail time "if necessary and appropriate.”

The judge presiding over Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York found the former US president in contempt of court on Monday and warned him that more violations could lead to jail time.

Justice Juan Merchan fined Trump $1,000 (€927) for breaching a gag order that prohibits him from making public incendiary comments about jurors, witnesses and others involved in the case.

It is the second time since his trial started last month that Trump has been sanctioned for contempt of court. He was slapped with a $9,000 fine last week — $1,000 for each of the nine violations.

Judge says violations amount to 'attack' on the law

Merchan said Trump's "continued, wilful" violations of the gag order amounted to a "direct attack on the rule of law," and that he was considering jailing the former president as a result.

"As much as I do not want to impose a jail sanction ... I want you to understand I will," Merchan told Trump.

"At the end of the day I have a job to do and part of that job is to maintain the dignity of the justice system," the judge said.

Merchan's ruling came at the start of the third week of testimony in Trump's hush money trial.

Why is Donald Trump in court?

The 77-year-old is accused of falsifying business records to cover up payments made to avoid potentially damaging publicity in the leadup to the 2016 presidential election.  

Prosecutors allege Trump reimbursed his then-lawyer Michael Cohen for a $130,000 payment to adult film actor Stormy Daniels. The money was allegedly to keep her from going public about her claims of a 2006 sexual encounter with the mogul.

Prosecutors allege those transactions were falsely logged in company records as legal expenses.

Trump denies a sexual encounter with Daniels took place.

He has pleaded not guilty, and his lawyers argue the payments were in fact legal expenses, not part of a cover-up.

Besides the case in New York, Trump has also been indicted in Washington and Georgia on charges of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election. He is also facing charges for illegally storing classified documents at his home in Florida after leaving the White House.[SEE ITEM ONE]

IF YOU ARE A REAL “JUSTICE SEEKER” YOU WOULD SEE THAT THIS DW JOURNALISTIC SPEW IS GEARED AGAINST DONALD TRUMP BEFORE ANY JUDGEMENT IS PASSED — WHETHER YOU THINK DONALD TRUMP IS A SLEAZE BAG, A HONEST CLOWN OR A DEVIOUS BUSINESSMAN.

AS WELL, THE LITTLE SUBHEADS ARE CALLED “CRIME, CRIME, CRIME” FOR EACH OF THE ITEMS. THIS STINKS. 

ON THE FIRST ITEM, THE COUR CASE GOT DELAYED INDEFINITELY, NOT BECAUSE THE JUDGE IS A “TRUMPIST”, BUT BECAUSE THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED  BY THE FBI HAD BEEN TAMPERED BY THE FBI — FOR MEDIATIQUE EFFECT. 

HENCE MOST DOCUMENTS FOUND AT MAR-A-LAGO WERE NOT “TOP SECRET” BUT THE FBI HAD ADDED COVER SHEETS WITH “TOP SECRET” ON THESE FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC IMPACT FOR RELEASE TO THE MEDIA… 

ON THE SECOND ITEM, STORMY DANIELS IS A LIAR. THIS CAN BE PROVEN BY SHOWING VARIOUS TRANSCRIPTS OF PREVIOUS INTERVIEWS SHE HAS DONE WITH LATE NIGHT SHOWS AND JOURNALISTS IN REGARD TO DONALD TRUMP. SHE ALSO SIGNED LETTERS TO SAY THAT SHE NEVER HAD SEX WITH DONALD TRUMP. WHERE IS THE TRUTH? NOFUCKINGWHERE…. STORMY DANIELS IS A LIAR.

ON THE THIRD ITEM, TRUMP NEVER CONSPIRED TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION RESULTS (UNLIKE HILLARY CLINTON IN 2016 — AND SOMETHING THAT AL GORE COULD — AND SHOULD — HAVE DONE IN 2000 IN REGARD TO FLORIDA) BUT QUESTIONED A FEW RECORDED IRREGULARITIES WHICH WERE OBVIOUS TO MOST DECENT PEOPLE. 

WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT, THE JURY AND THE JUDGE (MERCHAN) IN NEW YORK ARE BIASED AGAINST TRUMP. I SHOULD QUALIFY THIS: THEY ALL APPEAR TO BE BIASED AGAINST TRUMP, INCLUDING PLACING A GAG ORDER ON TRUMP, WHO SHOULD BE ABLE TO DENY WHATEVER THAT SEXPOT ACTRESS WITH A STAGE NAME CALLED DANIELS SAYS, BECAUSE STORMY DANIELS IS A LIAR.

AND  OF COURSE THE “LIBERAL” (READ FASCIST BIDENIST) MEDIA IS SALIVATING AT THE SALACIOUS FAIRY TALES FROM THE PORN-PRINCESS OF ADULT MOVIES. STORMY DANIELS IS A LIAR.

WE HAVE PROOF.

STORMY DANIELS LOOKS LIKE A 60 YEAR-OLD GRANNY IN THE COURT ILLUSTRATOR... [NO PHOTOS ALLOWED DURING TESTIMONIES — FAKE OR FABRICATED]

NOW ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTIONS:

WHY WOULD YOU PAY HUSH MONEY TO SOMEONE WHO YOU SHOULD GUESS WILL SPILL THE BEANS ANYWAY?

WHY IS THERE SO MANY CONFLICTS IN THE VARIOUS STORIES AND THE LETTERS FROM DANIELS?

CAN YOU TRUST COHEN TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH? DID HE TAKE A CUT FROM THE CASH?

IS $130,000 ENOUGH TO BUY THE SILENCE FROM A "PORN-STAR" WHO HAS BEEN SHOWING HER GENITALS TO ALL AND SUNDRY FOR PROFIT?

SOMEONE LIKE TRUMP KNOWS THAT IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU PAY MONEY OR NOT, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF SOMEONE IS TRYING TO BLACKMAIL YOU. DENIAL IS THE BEST OPTION. TAKING THE BLACKMAILER TO COURT WOULD THEN BE MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE AND SIMPLER, BECAUSE THE "WITNESS" [WHO HAS NO PROOFS] IS THUS GAGGED UNTIL A COURT CASE IN WHENEVER....

THE PRESENT RUSH TO TAKE TRUMP TO COURT IS TO PREVENT HIM TO BECOME THE NEXT PRESIDENT... IF THIS DOES NOT WORK, THE NEXT STEP WILL BE A CIA BULLET. BEWARE.
