For the second time in the past week, Donald Trump falsely declared victory in court after he was sanctioned by the judge. After getting hit with a $10,000 fine on Wednesday, Trump walked out of the courtroom and told reporters "we won the trial, and the judge should end this trial immediately." Again, this came immediately after Trump got punished by the judge, and his guilt has already been determined by the summary judgement.
Also, Republican leaders in Colorado have officially had enough of Lauren Boebert, and they are saying that her "handsy" display during the recent Beetlejuice performance was the last straw for them. Republican leaders are now actively recruiting primary challengers, with one of them already way ahead in the fundraising. It looks like Boebert may suffer the same fate as one-term Republican Representative Madison Cawthorn, and hopefully she'll be done before the general election next year.
And Donald Trump became so enraged at Judge Arthur Engoron in court this week that he stood up and stormed out of the courtroom, forcing the Secret Service agents protecting him to awkwardly chase after him outside. Trump got mad after the judge refused to immediately dismiss the case, which isn't even possible considering the fact that guilt has already been determined and ruled on in the summary judgement. But Trump's outburst of emotion isn't going to help him when it comes time for a verdict.
Finally, special prosecutor Jack Smith is urging Judge Tanya Chutkan to not only reimpose the gag order on Donald Trump that she has temporarily lifted, but also to revise the conditions of his release to allow her to throw him in jail for witness intimidation. This came after Trump said that he didn't think Mark Meadows would take an immunity deal (which he did,) and followed up by saying that those who take such a deal are "weaklings and cowards." This is a direct comment about a known potential witness, and Smith is tired of waiting for the judge to take action.
