The famous actor attacked Donald Trump and clashed with the ex-president’s supporters as the end of his trial unfolded. The Jury will begin its deliberations this Wednesday.
Robert de Niro made a notable appearance as closing arguments in Donald Trump’s trial took place in Manhattan court.
The actor held a press conference, and did not hesitate to verbally confront the many supporters of the ex-president. Names of birds and F-words flew from both sides and were a delight for the media.
He was accompanied by two police officers, Michael Fannon and Harry Dunn, who defended the Capitol against demonstrators on January 6, 2021 in Washington.
According to the media, this press conference was organized by Joe Biden’s campaign managers. The actor has always been a fervent supporter of the Democrats.
“He’s a clown!”
In a shocking statement, Robert de Niro said that “Donald Trump has no place in my city. We New Yorkers used to tolerate him when he was just a crooked real estate scammer. pretending to be a big shot, a two-bit playboy who makes his way into the tabloids._He’s a clown. But this person cannot lead the country. It doesn’t work, and we all know it.”
But most of the day was spent in the courtroom. Donald Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche pleaded with the jury “not to send his client to prison.“
According to him, this trial “is not a referendum on the ballot – who you voted for in 2016 or 2020, who you plan to vote for in 2024 “, “That’s not what it’s about. he said.
Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass asked that Trump be “found guilty in the interests of justice.”
The jury will therefore begin its deliberations this Wednesday and will try to reach a verdict that is already historic. To do this, he will have to answer a question: was Donald Trump guilty of falsifying accounting documents, intended to conceal a payment of 130,000 dollars to the former porn actress Stormy Daniels, to silence her and thus avoid a sexual scandal during his presidential campaign in 2016?
