Trump Calls Out Biden White House Political Lawfare Outside Courthouse
In the face of being jailed for “defying” Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order against him, Donald Trump called out the Democrat-led political lawsuits against him while speaking to the press outside the courthouse Tuesday morning.
?TRUMP: “This all comes out of the White House and crooked Joe Biden.. This is an attack on his political opponents. It doesn’t happen in this country. It does happen in third world countries. It’s a very unfair trial. This good news is they have nothing.” pic.twitter.com/sIJZeiq0px

Trump began, “The country is on fire and there are protests all over the country. I’ve never seen anything like this. Many graduation ceremonies are being cancelled, they cancelled as you know at Columbia, they’re cancelling a lot. And, we have a president who just refuses to talk, because he can’t talk, we know that and so does everyone else.”
He continued, quoting media outlets and anchors who have reported the lawsuits against him are unprecedented and should have never been brought in the first place.
Next, Trump said, “This all comes out of the White House and crooked Joe Biden. This comes from the White House and it’s all Biden because it’s an attack on his political opponent. That hasn’t happened in this country. It does happen in third world countries, but it hasn’t happened in this country, and it’s a shame. The trial is a very unfair trial. It’s a very, very unfair trial. The good news is they have nothing.”
The courthouse appearance comes after Judge Merchan held Trump in contempt for the second time on Monday, and threatened toss the ex-president in jail if he violates the gag order again.
“I’ll make that sacrifice,” Trump responded late Monday.
Jailing Trump would be the ultimate Streisand effect that could catapult his popularity, but does the deranged establishment even care?
