Donald Trump sounds nervous as he pushes back on suggestions his supporters should remain peaceful over his impending indictment regarding his hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.
In part of his rambling, all-caps message, he claims he did nothing wrong regarding the $130,000 payment to Daniels. He goes on to say his own former attorney and “fixer,” Michael Cohen, is a “convicted nut job with zero credibility.”
Cohen worked for Trump for years and years. He’s currently cooperating with the Manhattan DA’s office and reportedly turning over text messages and other communications with the Donald regarding the hush money payments.
Posted to his Truth Social account:
WHY WON’T BRAGG DROP THIS CASE? EVERYBODY SAYS THERE IS NO CRIME HERE. I DID NOTHING WRONG! IT WAS ALL MADE UP BY A CONVICTED NUT JOB WITH ZERO CREDIBILITY, WHO HAS BEEN DISPUTED BY HIGHLY RESPECTED PROFESSIONALS AT EVERY TURN. BRAGG REFUSES TO STOP DESPITE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY. HE IS A SOROS BACKED ANIMAL WHO JUST DOESN’T CARE ABOUT RIGHT OR WRONG NO MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HURT. THIS IS NO LEGAL SYSTEM, THIS IS THE GESTAPO, THIS IS RUSSIA AND CHINA, BUT WORSE. DISGRACEFUL! EVERYBODY KNOWS I’M 100% INNOCENT, INCLUDING BRAGG, BUT HE DOESN’T CARE. HE IS JUST CARRYING OUT THE PLANS OF THE RADICAL LEFT LUNATICS. OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED, AS THEY TELL US TO BE PEACEFUL!
Taking a trip on the Way Back Machine, Trump’s current lawyer, Joe Tacopina, told CNN a few years ago that the evidence was pretty clear Trump had broken the law, and spelled out the case against Trump. See below.

Donald Trump’s current criminal defense attorney Joe Tacopina went on TV a few years ago and spelled out Trump’s guilt in the Stormy Daniels case. Trump apparently didn’t know about it when he recently hired the guy. This is beyond hilarious!

Lieu: When Michael Cohen was arrested, indicted, convicted, and went to prison for participating in an illegal hush money payment scheme to Stormy Daniels, not a single Republican leader complaining now said a thing about what happened.. pic.twitter.com/T1RJ3pm1Ji
