CNN Reporter Says Trump Got 'A Little Physical' Prompting His Attorney In Court

CNN chief legal correspondent Paula Reid reported that Donald Trump was physically prompting his lawyer to object on Tuesday when porn actor Stormy Daniels testified at his hush money trial.

“Today, he’s gotten a little physical with Susan Necheles, one of his lawyers, sort of hitting her on the arm, prompting her to object,” Reid said during a CNN panel discussion about Tuesday’s proceedings.

Reid said Trump had been “really scrutinizing” his defense lawyers, engaging in “spirited conversations with all three of them.”

She said, “He clearly has a lot of ideas about exactly how this defense should be carried out.”

Maybe he should act as his own attorney. That could be entertaining

for allowing his ctude language to become audible to the jury, along with his inability to stay steated.

Can't be easy for TFG, listening to women tell the world what a lousy lay he was along with paying them not to talk until after an election.

Attorney: Objection!

Judge: What’s your objection, Counsel?

Attorney: if she answers that question we’re gonna loooooooose!

over on its side with him in it. Then quit the case and left the courtroom. THAT is how to handle a bully. Doubt he would shove a male attorney like that.

Trump may NOT change attorneys or act as his own attorney, the judge and the law will not permit such actions.
