New York has more corrupt officials than any other state. That was the conclusion of Politifact a few years ago.
Last year, New York magazine asked the question, “Why is New York Politics So Corrupt?” It was the headline to an article about a lieutenant governor who was charged with five counts of bribery.
Before Kathy Hochul, New York was led by a governor whose Covid-era policies maximized deaths among people in nursing homes — a governor who eventually resigned, not because of his lethal Covid policies, but because word got out that he likes to sexually assault the women he works with.
There’s another assault happening in New York right now. It’s on the rule of law, and on our elections. The attack is being carried out by a corrupt attorney general, and a corrupt judge.
The judge, Arthur Engoron, had already ruled months ago that the Trump Organization overvalued its real estate assets. The reason for the trial is to determine the penalties.
Nevertheless, former President Donald Trump testified yesterday for almost four hours in the $250-million-dollar civil fraud trial.
The Hill reported that “Trump went on offense during a contentious day of testimony.” He reportedly lashed out “repeatedly at the judge and prosecutors in the case.” Trump called Attorney General Letitia James a political hack. He also called the judge and James frauds.
The judge asked Trump’s attorney to take control of his client — or threatened to do so himself. Trump attorney Chris Kise told the judge, “You’re in control of the courtroom, not me.”
Trump also reportedly cited his grievances from the witness stand. This prompted the judge to tell him this was “not a political rally.”
After the hearing, Trump lawyer Alina Habba spoke to a gaggle of reporters about what happened in the courtroom. You can watch her fiery comments below:
As for James’ anti-white comments that Habba describes, you can watch that below:
