Former President Donald Trump recently stated that the staff of the New York City courthouse at which he was arraigned last week were so moved by his presence or the event of his booking on criminal charges that they broke down into tears.
The controversy sparked around the hush money payment that Cohen admitted that he made to Stormy Daniels during the fall of Trump’s 2016 White House bid to keep her from coming forward about an alleged affair she had with the then-candidate. Trump has denied the affair. Previously, TMZ reported that Daniels was experiencing the impact of Trump’s potential impending arrest and reportedly strengthening her security after receiving multiple threats.
Tucker Carlson apologized to Trump
Trump, joined in for a first interview since last Tuesday’s arraignment with Fox News and “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” The Fox host deferred to the former president at every turn and simply folded as Trump hijacked the post-arraignment billing of their discussion in favor of airing another installment of his own Trump Show.
Carlson was dominated on his own show. The former president briefly addressed the arraignment, asserting that he did “nothing wrong” and claiming employees at the Manhattan courthouse had cried and apologized to him. The rest of the interview was dominated by Trump’s virtually unchecked rantings.
At one point the former president called out Carlson for causing him headaches during a trip to North Korea. Carlson quickly injected an apology while Trump continued ranting about his chummy relationship with dictator Kim Jung Un.
