Former President Donald Trump criticized the prosecution's hush money case against him as a 'disaster' during remarks outside a Manhattan court on Tuesday. Trump expressed confidence in his defense, stating that the case was 'totally falling apart' and emphasizing the lack of substantial evidence against him.
Trump notably did not address the involvement of witness Stormy Daniels in his comments to reporters. Instead, he focused on the perceived weaknesses in the prosecution's case, particularly highlighting the absence of incriminating 'books and records'.
During his brief statement, Trump expressed frustration at having to attend court proceedings, suggesting that he would rather be on the campaign trail. Despite his evident displeasure with the legal process, he thanked reporters for their presence outside the court throughout the day.
Trump's remarks come amidst ongoing legal battles and scrutiny surrounding the hush money payments made to Daniels, a former adult film actress. The case has garnered significant attention due to its potential implications for Trump's legal and political future.
