Former President Donald Trump Faces Tough Cross-Examination in Hush Money Trial

Former President Donald Trump is facing a hush-money trial in New York, where he has made claims that he plans to testify in his own defense. However, prosecutors are gearing up to confront him on his history of lying, falsifying documents, and ignoring court orders. Here are some key points that highlight the lies Donald Trump has and is telling:

– Trump has been found to have lied under oath in the past, as a judge in his civil fraud trial determined in October.
– Prosecutors want to question him about violating court orders, including repeatedly violating gag orders in previous trials.
– Trump has also been accused of defaming writer E. Jean Carroll, whom he was found liable of sexually abusing and defaming in a civil trial.
– Trump is facing charges of falsifying business documents in relation to a scheme to interfere with the 2016 election.

These instances of lying and deceit by Donald Trump not only undermine the credibility of the justice system but also pose a threat to democracy. His narcissistic behavior and disregard for the truth erode trust in institutions and sow division among the public, ultimately weakening the foundations of democracy.
