Georgia Longstreet ended up on the witness stand and did not give an inch under questioning by defense lawyers.
She had a simple job at a complex trial: Read a man’s damning words.’s New York trial last Friday were the thoughtless intimidation tactics of the first American president to face criminal charges in a fight that could alter the course of the country’s history.
On a Friday morning in May, Longstreet took the witness stand to be questioned by Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Rebecca Mangold about those posts.“@RealDonaldTrump,” Longstreet said, referring to his Truth Social account.“Can you please read the content of the post to the jury?”The brief courtroom silence that followed only seemed to underscore the menacing tone of the post by a former commander-in-chief.
The reading was only part of Longstreet’s performance. She also held her own against Trump’s lead defense lawyer—using subtle body language and a hint of defiance to communicate to jurors that every counterargument was nothing more than a sideshow. “I believe you testified last week, but correct me if I am wrong, that you reviewed thousands of tweets and Truths as part of your work on this case?” Blanche asked her.Paralegals always stay in the shadows. Attorneys get the glory while they get the grunt work. Rarely do they get hauled onto the witness stand. But now all eyes were on Longstreet as Blanche tried to suggest some kind of equivalency between an ex-president’s menacing comments with trolling by Cohen and Daniels on social media.
