Trump Calls Hush Money Case ‘Nonsense’ and ‘an Assault on America’ as Jury Selection Begins

Former President Donald Trump spoke to members of the press in front of a New York City courtroom on Monday, telling them that the Stormy Daniels hush money trial is “nonsense” and that the case “should never have been brought.” The former president was speaking before the jury selection process scheduled for the day.

President Trump also said the case is an “assault on America” while decrying both the merits of the charges and the current president, Joe Biden, who he described as “incompetent.”
