'Says every guilty man': Internet trolls Donald Trump for claiming he’s ‘so innocent’ and branding Judge Juan Merchan as ‘corrupt’

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: On Thursday, May 9, former President Donald Trump addressed reporters outside the Manhattan courtroom at the end of the day’s proceedings in his hush money criminal trial and accused Judge Juan Merchan of being “corrupt” and claimed, “we are so innocent.”

The 2024 presumptive GOP nominee insisted that he has to return to his campaigning before the November general election and that he’s “not supposed to be here.”

Stormy Daniels, the notable prosecution witness, completed her testimony in a total of six hours, spanning over Tuesday and Thursday.

The 45-year-old adult film star stood firm in her recounting of events and refused to back down during her second day of witness testimony in the ex-POTUS’s criminal trial.

The adult film star's story about her alleged sexual encounter with the former president in 2006 became a subject of contention between Daniels and Trump's defense attorney, on Thursday.

According to the New York Post, Donald Trump, who is facing 34 counts of falsifying business records, was accused of making a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels to stop her from going public with her bombshell extramarital affair story about the then-presidential candidate in the lead-up to the 2016 election.
