During an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson Tuesday evening, indicted, twice-impeached, one-term former president Donald Trump said that employees at the Manhattan court where he was arraigned on April 4 were crying and telling him how sorry they were.
But a law enforcement source who was at the courthouse that day is calling bullshit on Trump’s claim, according to Michael Isikoff of Yahoo News.
(Trump’s claim) that New York court employees were “crying” and apologizing for his arraignment on felony charges is “absolute BS” and doesn’t remotely resemble what took place, a law enforcement source familiar with the details of what transpired that day told Yahoo News.
“Zero,” said the source when asked how much truth there was to Trump’s colorful account. “There were zero people crying. There were zero people saying ‘I’m sorry.’”
The source went on to add that Trump had virtually no interaction with the vast majority of courthouse employees:
In fact, the source said, aside from his lawyers and Secret Service agents, Trump interacted only with a handful of district attorney employees at the courthouse and had extremely limited exposure with others during his arraignment last Tuesday in lower Manhattan.
During the Tuesday evening interview, Carlson was his usual fawning self, a far cry from comments he made about Trump to others at the network.
“I hate him passionately,” Carlson said about Trump in a text to one colleague on Jan. 4, 2021 He added in another text, “We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights.”
If and when Trump is found guilty on any of the numerous charges he faces in New York, Georgia, and Special Counsel Jack Smith, there will tears of joy across the United States. Donald may think people love him, but the vast majority of the country despise him and would be happy to never see his face again.
