Trump whines about 'very unfair' trial detail he says gives prosecution a 'big advantage'

Donald Trump on Monday complained about a procedural detail he says gives prosecutors a major advantage in the criminal hush money cover-up case against him.

Trump, who earlier in the day was said to be dropping hints about not-yet-public jury instruction details, took to Truth Social to address the case in which he's charged with falsifying business records to hide payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels allegedly meant to influence the 2016 presidential election.

Specifically, Trump complained about the order in which the jury will hear the closing arguments from Trump's legal team and the New York prosecution's attorneys.

"Can you imagine, a President of the United States, who got more votes than any sitting President in the history of our Country, and who is also the Republican Nominee for President in the upcoming 2024 Election, and leading in all polls against the Democrat Nominee, Joe Biden, is tomorrow going before a Corrupt and Conflicted Democrat Appointed, Acting New York Judge, on a FAKE & MADE UP CASE by a Soros backed failed D.A., and the Judge himself, to see whether or not he will become a common criminal?" the ex-president asked. "According to virtually all Legal Scholars and Experts, THERE IS NO CRIME OR CASE against President Trump, and if there was it should have been brought seven years ago, not in the middle of his Campaign for President. Prosecutorial Misconduct. Election Interference!"

Trump then raised the issue of the closing argument order.

"WHY IS THE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT ALLOWED TO MAKE THE FINAL ARGUMENT IN THE CASE AGAINST ME?" Trump complained on Monday. "WHY CAN’T THE DEFENSE GO LAST? BIG ADVANTAGE, VERY UNFAIR. WITCH HUNT! DJT"

The post was one of Trump's many Memorial Day statements.
