Social media posts

Jury shown more Trump social media posts

From CNN's Kara Scannell, Lauren Del Valle and Jeremy Herb

The jury was shown multiple social media posts from Donald Trump after prosecutors played the statement Trump released on Twitter in response to the "Access Hollywood" tape, including:

• A tweet from October 11, 2016: "The very foul mouthed Sen. John McCain begged for my support during his primary (I gave, he won), then dropped me over locker room remarks!"
• From October 15, 2016: "Nothing ever happened with any of these women. Totally made up nonsense to steal the election. Nobody has more respect for women than me!"
• From October 16, 2016: "Polls close, but can you believe I lost large number of women voters based on made up events THAT NEVER HAPPENED. Media rigging election!"
• From October 17, 2016: "Can’t believe these totally phony stories, 100% made up by women (many already proven false) and pushed big time by press, have impact!"

They also were shown Truth Social posts from last year:

• March 15, 2023: “I did NOTHING wrong in the ‘Horseface’ case. I see she showed up in New York today trying to drum up some publicity for herself. I haven’t seen or spoken to her since I took a picture with her on a golf course, in full golf gear including a hat, close to 18 years ago. She knows nothing about me other than her conman lawyer, Avanatti, and convicted liar and felon, jailbird Michael Cohen, may have schemed up. Never had an affair with her, just another false acquisition by a SleazeBag. Witch Hunt!”
• August 4, 2023: "IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!"
