Trump minutes ago, the former president walked out of court trying to put some distance between himself and his former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen.

Problem but i didn t kill my family. ultimately, the jurors didn t see it that way. no, his testimony was very poor. in fact, i think it was border line atrocious. jurors don t like it when witnesses are being questioned and they don t answer. what he kept doing continually was going beyond the scope of the questions. he kept trying to interject his own narrative. he was evasive. and his testimony was self-serving. jurors do not like that. he should have stuck to quick yes-or-no answers when he was being crossed and as the juror spoke to you indicated, they didn t buy it. jurors have good bs detectors and he didn t pull another lie over on him. i wonder, he used it today and i think one of the prosecutors questioned on the first day of his questioning of alex murdaugh about the use of paul-paul and mags and said have
