'All lies': CNN's Ana Navarro calls BS on Trump's latest courtroom ranting

Former Republican strategist Ana Navarro doesn't buy Donald Trump's excuse that he was victimized because he wasn't allowed a court pause after his wife's mother passed away.

Melania Trump hasn't been part of Trump's trials for the past two years. After not appearing in Christmas family photos, the Trump team announced that the third wife of the former president was with her parents while her mother was in the hospital.

CNN walked through a fact-check of Trump's claims about his case outside the New York courthouse, where he articulated further grievances against Judge Arthur Engoron.

But Navarro characterized the morning as nothing more than the same thing on a different day.

"This is a guy. He has so many different court cases going on in different venues and 91 charges against him. It's more of the same from him where he's portraying himself as the victim, the victim of a witch hunt, the victim of political persecution by Joe Biden. All lies," said Navarro.

She said this is part of the plan, Trump building a story around himself "where he's like a Christ-like figure, a martyr taking this for his people and followers. It has worked for him to a certain extent. Look where he is in the polls."

Navarro noted that there are members of Congress who are attacking the judge for refusing to pause the proceedings because Trump's mother-in-law passed away even though that hasn't stopped Trump from continuing to do other activities that don't involve consoling his grieving wife.

"The same guy was in Iowa campaigning," Navarro continued. "The same guy was hosting a New Year's party when his wife was in the hospital with her dying mother. It's selective when he wants to be with his grieving wife. It has some effect. This is Donald Trump being Donald Trump."
