Faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians or the left's political enemies.

We will demolish the deep state.

So, what do we got to pay for this? One-fifty?

Outside, they're great Americans, people do want to come down and they want to protest at the court, and they want to protest peacefully.

We have a majority of one, okay? So, it's not like he can go and do whatever he wants to do. I think he's a very good person. It's a tough situation when you have one, I think he's a very good man. I think he's trying very hard.

All I did is point out the fact that on the cover of the 'National Enquirer', there was a picture of him and crazy Lee Harvey Oswald, I had nothing to do with it.

This was a magazine that frankly, in many respects should be very respected. They got O.J., they got Edwards.

Michael Cohn is a convicted liar, and he's got no credibility whatsoever. He was a lawyer, and you rely on your lawyers.

When are they going to look at all the lies that Cohen did in the last trial? He got caught lying in the last trial. So he got caught lying, pure lying. And when are they going to look at that?

We have a gag order, which to me is totally unconstitutional. I'm not allowed to talk, but people are allowed to talk about me. So they can talk about me. They can say whatever they want. They can lie, but I'm not allowed to say anything…

We have a majority of one, OK. So it's not like he can go and do whatever he wants to do. I think he's a very good person. It's a tough situation when you have one. I think he's a very good man. I think he's trying very hard.

This is political persecution.

This is really an attack on a political opponent. That's all it is.

I've always said, why didn't the 'National Enquirer' get the Pulitzer Prize for Edwards and O.J. Simpson, and all of these things?

Whether they're going to look at all the lies that Cohen did in the last trial. He brought lying in the last trial. So, he got caught lying, pure lying.

This is what took me off and takes me off the campaign trail because I should be in Georgia now. I should be in Florida now. I should be a lot of different places right now campaigning.

This is an assault on America. Nothing like this has ever happened before. There's never been anything like it.

I don't think they even paid any money to that tabloid. Okay? I don't think we made a payment to that tabloid. Nobody except for me would be looked at like this. Nobody.

Well, it's election interference and it's got to stop. It's a third world country.

The trial starts on Monday, which is long before a lot of people thought. The judge wants to go as fast as possible. That's for his reasons, not for my reasons.

What's happening here with the judicial system is an outrage, and all over the world they're watching it, and all over the world is a -- this is a giant witch hunt.

I was paying a lawyer and marked it down as a legal expense, some account I didn't know, marked it down as a legal expense.

the former president said again today that he intends to testify.

I'm sitting in a courthouse all day long. This is going much for the week and this will go on for another four or five weeks and it's very unfair.

We just had another hearing and the trial starts on Monday, which is long before a lot of people thought the judge wants this to go as fast as possible. That's for his reasons, not for my reasons.
