Donald Trump posted, then deleted, a rant about adult film star Stormy Daniels testifying in his criminal hush-money trial.
Attorneys for Daniels, the adult film paid off by Trump to mask an alleged affair, told multiple outlets ahead of court on Tuesday that Daniels expects to be called as a witness. Trump posted — then quickly deleted — a furious rant about the prosecution’s plan to call Daniels shortly before The Associated Press reported on it.
Trump appears to have deleted this post complaining that his legal team didn’t have time to prepare for today’s witness. Trump stands accused of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to allegations that the then-candidate and his associates made hush money payments to women, including, in order to aid his 2016 presidential election campaign.
The post may have been deleted because Trump is explicitly barred from attacking or commenting on witnesses in the case through a limited gag order imposed by Judge Juan Merchan. On Monday, Merchanthat Trump had violated the order through his public statements and social media posts, finding him in contempt of court and threatening him with jail time if he violates the order again.
