Former President Donald Trump, accompanied by a group of high-profile supporters, made an appearance outside a Manhattan courtroom on Monday morning. The NY v. Trump trial is set to feature key witness Michael Cohen.
Trump addressed the media early in the day, with prominent Republican figures and his son Eric Trump standing behind him. The day is expected to be eventful as the trial unfolds.
During his media briefing, Trump reiterated his stance that the case against him is a 'baseless, politically motivated prosecution' orchestrated by the Biden administration. He also pointed to a recent poll that showed him leading President Biden in crucial battleground states.
Trump referenced a poll by The New York Times that indicated he was ahead in states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, and Nevada. Notably, Trump highlighted a 12-point lead in Nevada, a state that typically leans Democratic.
