Trump reads back to media their own trial reporting: 'No smoking gun'
Fox News
Former President Trump read a series of media reports outside of the Manhattan courtroom Tuesday, showing there's "no smoking gun" in the unprecedented case.
Trump rattled off a series of media reports and expert commentary, including from "fake news CNN," "Good Morning America" and Fox News, arguing the prosecution team is failing to prove Trump is guilty of falsifying business records with an intent to commit or conceal a second crime.
"On ‘Good Morning America,’ they said, ‘We heard that expense payments to lawyers are legal expenses.’ You pay a lawyer expenses payments. We didn't put it down as construction costs, the purchase of sheet rock, the electrical cost. The legal expense that we paid was put down as legal expense. There's nothing else you could say. You don't have to put down anything, I guess. But we put down legal expense."
