“Donald Trump portrayed himself as the victim of ‘election interference’ and a ‘political witch hunt.’ He talked about crime in the streets of New York. And he decried the ‘weaponization’ of a judicial system that he alleges, without evidence, is unfairly targeting him,” the Washington Post reports.
“But the former president wasn’t speaking at a campaign rally in Iowa or New Hampshire — his typical venue for airing grievances, baseless claims and other invective.
Instead, he appeared Monday inside a courtroom here in the city where he has spent most of his adult life. New York Attorney General Letitia James was alleging that he and his company falsely inflated property values to gain lending advantages, and Trump was on the witness stand.”
