‘I want to stress that you have an absolute right to testify at trial,’ the judge said, after Trump had falsely claimed otherwise
As the third week of Donald Trump’s Manhattan trial neared its conclusion Friday, the historic proceedings have not just weighed whether hush-money payments to alleged paramours involved illegality – they are also touching on the ex-president’s already tenuous relationship with reality.
Before proceedings started Friday morning, it appeared that Merchan perceived potential problems inherent in the proliferation of such an untruth. “So sometimes you can get the device, throw it in the bag and it’s protected from the radio signals; right?” Again, Daus said “yes.” Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass asked Davidson whether this denial was true. “I think that this is a tactic that is oftentimes used in the cat and mouse interactions between publicists and attorneys and the press and that an extremely strict, extremely strict reading of this denial would technically be true,” Davidson said on Thursday, his second day on the stand.
As it grew more and more apparent on election night 2016 that Trump would become the president, Davidson texted Howard: “What have we done?”“Oh my God,” Howard replied, with Davidson walking jurors’ through the texts as they were displayed in court.
