During a recent court session, prosecutor Joshua Steinglass presented a Truth Social post by Donald Trump, in which he referred to Stormy Daniels as 'horseface.' The post, dated March 15, 2023, coincided with Daniels' grand jury testimony related to the case at hand. Steinglass suggested that Trump's post was an attempt to pressure both Daniels and Michael Cohen to back off.
Steinglass further highlighted Trump's legal actions against Daniels in Florida, where he sought to enforce a judgment to recover legal fees. According to Steinglass, Trump's actions align with his reputation of punishing those who defy him, as showcased in his books.
One of the key points of contention was a tweet by Trump stating, 'If you go after me, I'm coming after you!!' Trump's lawyers argued that the tweet was directed at campaign matters rather than Cohen or Daniels.
Despite objections raised during the court session, the tweet remained on the screen, prompting discussions among the attorneys. Steinglass acknowledged that while it may not have been Trump's intention to incite his supporters, the security precautions taken by Daniels following her testimony indicated a level of concern.
The court proceedings shed light on Trump's approach to handling perceived disloyalty and opposition, emphasizing his willingness to take legal action and publicly confront those who challenge him.
