'Weaklings and cowards': Trump lashes out against witnesses taking deals from prosecutors

Donald Trump on Tuesday evening called witnesses in his criminal cases "weaklings and cowards," and suggested they are taking plea deals and lying out of fear of prosecutors.

Trump, who is currently under multiple gag orders from various courts in different jurisdictions, has been lashing out against those testifying against him in the civil fraud case, including his former lawyer, Michael Cohen. Now, his attention is squarely on the criminal charges the former president faces.

On Tuesday, Trump noted that he doesn't think his former chief of staff Mark Meadows has actually flipped on him, specifically saying he doubts Meadows would lie about the "stollen election." However, he added, "who knows?"

"I don’t think Mark Meadows would lie about the Rigged and Stollen 2020 Presidential Election merely for getting IMMUNITY against Prosecution (PERSECUTION!) by Deranged Prosecutor, Jack Smith," Trump wrote. "BUT, when you really think about it, after being hounded like a dog for three years, told you’ll be going to jail for the rest of your life, your money and your family will be forever gone, and we’re not at all interested in exposing those that did the RIGGING — If you say BAD THINGS about that terrible 'MONSTER,' DONALD J. TRUMP, we won’t put you in prison, you can keep your family and your wealth, and, perhaps, if you can make up some really horrible 'STUFF' a out him, we may very well erect a statue of you in the middle of our decaying and now very violent Capital, Washington, D.C. Some people would make that deal, but they are weaklings and cowards, and so bad for the future our Failing Nation."

The former president added:

"I don’t think that Mark Meadows is one of them, but who really knows? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"

In a follow-up post, Trump said Meadows had "never" told him "that allegations of significant fraud (about the RIGGED Election!) were baseless."

"He certainly didn’t say that in his book!" the ex-president said.
