During a recent court proceeding, prosecutors have alleged that former President Donald Trump committed a fourth violation by speaking to cameras outside the courtroom on April 22. Prosecutor Chris Conroy stated that Trump addressed the cameras for nearly nine minutes, focusing on a witness expected to testify in the trial, identified as Michael Cohen.
Trump's comments included questioning when the alleged lies of Cohen from a previous trial would be scrutinized, emphasizing that Cohen had been caught lying in that trial. The prosecutors highlighted that Trump appeared disengaged from the ongoing proceedings, leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed.
Conroy expressed concern over Trump's actions, emphasizing the critical nature of the trial proceedings that needed to be protected. He noted that despite the court's focus on Cohen, Trump seemed unresponsive to the specific details being discussed.
