(THREAD) If you want everyone to understand the stunts Trump and his lawyers pulled today in cross-examining longtime Trump fixer Michael Cohen, please RETWEET this thread.

I’m a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer and former criminal defense lawyer, and I’ll explain what happened. Image 1/ This thread builds off my 200-tweet, five-hour thread from yesterday, which was also about Team Trump’s Michael Cohen cross-examination and which you can read below. But there will be some *very* significant differences between that thread and this one.

(THREAD) It’s important that everyone RETWEET this thread. As some of you know, Elon Musk has been on a deranged tear trying to destroy one of the most reliable news sources in the world, REUTERS. The recent reports in this thread are the ones Musk doesn’t want *anyone* to share. Image 1/ REUTERS: Musk’s Neuralink Has Faced Issues With Its Tiny Wires For Years reuters.com/technology/mus…

(THREAD) This is a live thread of the testimony of Michael Cohen in Donald Trump’s criminal trial. Its author is a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer and former criminal defense attorney. I’ll not only be covering the testimony live but adding essential background.

Please RETWEET. Image 1/ First, some information on my own brief association with Michael Cohen, in the interest of full disclosure. I’ve been interviewed by Michael Cohen on his podcast, and thereafter was invited back many times; I did not accept those invitations. I have spoken to Michael by phone.

(THREAD) This thread from a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer and former criminal defense lawyer offers the most comprehensive breakdown yet of the most explosive testimony about a POTUS ever: Stormy Daniels’ testimony. I’ll be working off court transcripts.

Please RETWEET. Image 1/ Please know in advance that this thread will be R-related and not appropriate for children. It will involve testimony about sexual intercourse with a former President of the United States as well as implications—in the testimony on same—that a sexual assault may have occurred.

(THREAD) This is a brief thread from a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer on what everyone—literally everyone—is missing about the 34 felonies Donald Trump committed to win the 2016 presidential election. This will change how you understand the 2016 election cycle.

Please RETWEET. Image 1/ I’ve been covering Donald Trump more or less full-time since the day he announced his presidential candidacy in 2015, so there are things I remember as part of my job that many who follow politics more casually don’t and wouldn’t.

One is that Trump believed he’d lose in 2016.

They can deny it all they want, but Kristi Noem is the frontrunner to be Trump’s VP—and it’s based entirely on her physical appearance.

That’s just how Trump operates.

He may ultimately go with someone else, but Noem is who he’s sexually attracted to and so she’s atop his list. I’m sorry if that offends people. I’m *certainly* not saying that this is how things should be. But I’m sick of us pretending that Trump is someone other than who he is simply because his aides are smart enough to know that they must *pretend* that when speaking with journalists.

(1/3) Anyone who’s been paying attention understands that these protests aren’t going to stop. There’ll be more and more, at a larger and larger scale, at more and more colleges/universities. They’ll continue to be mostly peaceful; mostly advocating for wholly honorable causes... (2/3) ...such as a ceasefire and an end to Trump friend Netanyahu’s attempted genocide; and they’ll on occasion be infiltrated by hardcore antisemites. The problem ultimately isn’t the protests. It’s the Trump-Netanyahu pro-genocide axis. Biden needs to be far bolder than...

(THREAD) I’m a Trump biographer and presidential historian who’s also a NYT-bestselling journalist covering the criminal trial of Donald Trump on 34 felonies in New York.

The Supreme Court of the United States is literally deciding today whether Donald Trump can legally have them all executed on January 20, 2025, and the upshot I get from major media updates from inside the courtroom is that they are taking a serious look at it

America is over One justice said—apparently without breaking out in maniacal laughter and requiring a straitjacket—that it may not be fair to a POTUS to judge his motive when he engages in an act

“Mens rea” has only been one half the analysis of whether a crime has been committed for 500 years

You’re getting *very warm*, James.

I said that this criminal trial is very much about illegal election interference, and I meant it. Per usual, the good guys are only telling about 10% of the story in order to not ruffle feathers. But America deserves the full truth about this. Keep in mind Cohen didn't front the money to AMI for these ops. Not only did AMI outlay cash on the front end as Trump was ramping up his whirlwind introduction of Pecker to his Saudi pals, but there were times the cost was so high AMI balked. Then... suddenly they had the money.

Many Americans don’t know that, in legal shorthand, a criminal defendant is represented by the “Delta” symbol, a triangle (∆).

(Yes—really.)

Less well known—but now, due to the Trump trial, just as relevant—is the “sleeping defendant” symbol: a faded, sideways triangle (▷). When a criminal defendant is awake but angry at having to face consequences for his crimes, it’s OK to use the Red Delta (🔺).

If a defendant is—like Trump—livid at facing consequences *and* “sundowning” during afternoon court sessions, use the *inverted* Red Delta instead (🔻).

BREAKING NEWS: Early signs suggest that Trump’s Monday night bond filing *may* have again misled the court. It says Hankey now has a security interest of $175M in “DJT Trust”—but Hankey’s Axos Bank *already* has a $100M interest in DJT Trust. Is Trump double-dipping? @KatiePhang
Image
Image 1/ Some wondered why Trump went to Hankey’s Knight rather than Hankey’s Axos. It certainly *could* be to swindle the court into thinking him having $175M secured with Hankey is sufficient, when it fact he likely needs at least *$275M* in that Trust to not be misleading the court.

Everyone knows the criminal trial on 34 felonies Trump begins on Monday is about him committing serious crimes to try to steal the 2016 presidential election, right? I mean, we’re clear on it having nothing to do with his family or propriety, only lying to American voters, right? This is a man who committed felony after felony after felony after felony after felony after felony after felony after felony after felony—et al.—just to ensure his 2016 presidential campaign wouldn’t die a gruesome death, which it *would’ve* had he not committed those 34 crimes.

I feel like you could read and watch CNN all day and have no idea that the fully and carefully telegraphed offensive Iran orchestrated yesterday—which it knew would do no damage, and which didn’t—was a response to Israel unilaterally attacking Iranian assets in Syria days ago. Iran’s a state-sponsor of terror and I have no respect for that regime whatsoever—but it’s journalistic malpractice for CNN to be turning to Bolton and Petraeus to try to lie America into another war in the Middle East by pretending Iran’s offensive was unprovoked and a surprise.

Joe Biden is trying to be POTUS while also fighting off Donald Trump’s shadow administration, Steve Bannon’s insurrection plotting, the fascist “Project 2025,” the Trump-Netanyahu-MBS-MBZ-Putin collusion axis, and—not for nothing—trying to rescue us all from the sh*t Trump broke. No President of the United States has had to deal with this many domestic threats since Lincoln.
