‘Are You Done?’ Lawyer Reacts to Trump’s Angry Rant During Deposition
Donald Trump reacted angrily when a lawyer for E. Jean Carroll, who is suing him over an alleged sexual assault, asked about one of his social media posts.
Mediaite“Well-connected supporters suspected him of lying and demanded to see his résumé. Another former campaign vendor warned a state party official about what he believed were questionable business practices. And the head of the main House Republican super PAC told some lawmakers and donors that he believed Mr. Santos’s story did not add up.”
“…Interviews with more than two dozen associates, adversaries and donors, as well as contemporaneous communications and other documents reviewed by The Times, show that Mr. Santos inspired no shortage of suspicion during his 2022 campaign, including in the upper echelons of his own party…”
“The episode, which has not been previously reported, is the most explicit evidence to date that a small circle of well-connected Republican campaign professionals had indications far earlier than the public that Mr. Santos was spinning an elaborate web of deceits, and that the candidate himself had been warned about just how vulnerable those lies were to unraveling.”
“Fraudulent academic degrees. Involvement in a firm accused of a Ponzi scheme. Multiple evictions and a suspended driver’s license. All of it was in the report, which also said that Mr. Santos, who is openly gay, had been married to a woman. The report did not offer conclusive details, but some people briefed on the findings wondered whether the marriage was done for immigration purposes.”
When the routine background check on then candidate George Santos came back, showing a startling pattern of deception on his part, Santos was advised not to run, which he refused, and as a result, members of his campaign quit in protest. #GeorgeSantos
