‘Crying little s–––’: Michael Cohen cross-examination quickly goes off the rails as defense brings up TikTok insults directed at Trump’s lead attorney and earns judge’s scorn

Former president Donald Trump, in a Friday night Truth Social post, took aim at the judge and prosecution in his ongoing New York City hush-money criminal trial – by praising legal analysis from two cable news networks he frequently rails against: CNN and MSNBC.

According to the 45th president, legal analysts on both networks “now feel” that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has a “case” that “should be dropped in that it is not winnable” and “should never have been brought in the first place.”

Trump, for his part, appears to be referring to at least one MSNBC legal analyst and several CNN legal analysts who commended the defense’s tough cross-examination of Michael Cohen, 57.

This week, after a strong start for the state, Trump’s erstwhile fixer was pinned into a corner over what, exactly, was said during a very brief and now highly-disputed phone call – which appeared to severely undercut his credibility and catch the prosecution unawares.
