In a shocking turn of events, Donald Trump inadvertently became his own worst enemy outside the New York courthouse where he’s facing trial for allegedly falsifying business records to facilitate hush-money payments.
Trump’s off-the-cuff remarks on Thursday revealed a stunning admission: he had a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with porn actress Stormy Daniels, contradicting his legal team’s claims of no knowledge or involvement.
Trump’s impromptu reading from a sheet of paper, quoting Andrew McCarthy’s National Review blog post, took a telling turn when he inserted the line: “I have the only illegal NDA.”
Trump’s Damning Admission: “I Have the Only Illegal NDA”
Trump’s lawyers have attempted to distance him from the scandal, painting Michael Cohen as a rogue operator who acted alone in paying off Daniels. However, Cohen’s testimony has consistently implicated Trump as a “micromanager” intimately aware of every move, including the hush-money payments.
Other witnesses have corroborated Cohen’s account, pointing to Trump as the mastermind behind the payments. Despite pleading not guilty to 34 felony charges, Trump’s own words may have just sealed his fate.
His admission of having an NDA with Daniels undermines his legal team’s defense and raises the stakes in a trial that could have far-reaching consequences for Trump’s political future.
The prosecution’s case has been bolstered by Trump’s own words, which contradict his legal team’s claims of no knowledge or involvement.
The Republican presidential nominee’s admission of having an NDA with Daniels raises questions about his credibility and innocence. As the trial continues, it remains to be seen how Trump’s legal team will navigate this new development and whether Trump’s own words will ultimately prove to be his downfall.
