The former president shared a photo of the clerk on his social media platform and falsely called her Sen. Chuck Schumer's 'girlfriend.'
Shortly before 1 p.m. ET, New York prosecutors finished their direct examination of Donald Bender, Donald Trump’s former lead accountant. And all expectations were that the trial would resume roughly an hour later, in accordance with the daily schedule Judge Arthur Engoron promised to more strictly enforce. But soon thereafter, it was clear something was awry.
Then, at around the same time, those of us attending the trial became aware that during the morning break, Trump reposted a picture to his social media platform, Truth Social, of the judge’s law clerk, Allison Greenfield, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York. In the post, Trump called the clerk Schumer's “girlfriend” and used the photo to suggest yet again that the case against him is politically motivated.
