"The New York Times reported there are at least nine court officers and additional Secret Service agents in the courtroom today, a much larger security presence than normal.
Outside the court, a local park has been turned into a stage by Trump supporters."

#Colangelo says that jurors will hear #Trump, in his own voice, urging the money be repaid in cash. This doesn't connect Trump to the actual #crime, which only relates to a payment to #StormyDaniels. But it suggests a pattern of behavior.
Colangelo is now describing the emergence of the "#AccessHollywood" tape on Oct 7, 2016, beginning w/ email outreach to Trump spox #HopeHicks. Colangelo reads aloud the worst of Trump’s language, bragging about grabbing women's genitals.
As #Colangelo says that #Trump orchestrated a #criminal scheme to #corrupt the 2016 presidential election, Trump shook his head.
Trump has attacked Colangelo on Truth Social repeatedly. #StochasticTerrorism
Colangelo has outlined the #crime, & is on to the #GrandJury #indictment of Trump last year. His opening is expected to take >1 hr.

#TrumpTrial🧵 cont’d
One prospective #juror said he only reads the New York Post & the New York Daily News. In other words, he's a NY unicorn.
At another point he said he only has a flip phone. "And therefore I do not *watch* any podcasts," he says, elliciting laughter.
The man says he has no friends or family who have been convicted of a #crime, but quickly amends his answer, more loudly, to no "close friends."
#TrumpTrial #jurors’ concerns
#JurySelection began w/a sworn in juror getting dismissed over doxxing concerns.
“I definitely have concerns now. One of them especially being the aspects of my identity have already been out there in public. Yesterday alone I had friends, colleagues & family push things to my phone regarding questioning my identity as a juror.”

For years, Australia has called on the U.S. to drop its prosecution against Assange, an Australian citizen who has fought U.S. extradition efforts from #prison in the U.K. Asked about the request on Wednesday, as he hosted Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida for an official visit, Biden said, “We’re considering it.”
Hopefully he won't think about it until he forgets it again or is no longer President. 😒

Biden says he's considering Australia's request to drop prosecution of Julian Assange
President Joe Biden says he's considering a request from Australia to drop the decade-long U.S. push to prosecute Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for publishing American classified documents. For years, Australia has called on the U.S.AP News
Why are Trump and Republicans relentlessly attacking judges?:
"Authoritarianism involves arranging government to keep the leader safe from prosecution and allow him to commit crimes and corrupt acts with impunity. That means judges and prosecutors are always among those harassed and persecuted, along with lawyers who defend dissidents or don’t fall into line with the government."

Truth Social has 620,000 monthly users, but it's supposedly worth 5 billion (so Trump's share is 3.3 billion).
It's absurd.
This is being done to get Trump money so he'll protect Tiktok.
The biggest institutional investor in the SPAC that’s merging with Truth Social is Susquehanna International Group LLP, which was co-founded by GOP megadonor Jeffrey Yass. The deal is poised to give Donald Trump a massive financial lifeline.
Out of 600k users, how many are real vice bots/trolls? There might be 200k users or less. It is a 💯% scam. Simply a means to launder money to the criminal defendant.
