Scowling Trump tosses file in front of lawyer questioning witness about evidence tampering

Donald Trump started the 11th day of his criminal trial clearly peeved with his lawyer. From inside the courtroom, Raw Story observed Donald Trump throwing a file in front his lawyer, Emil Bove, as he questioned an investigator about his messages taken from his ex-attorney Michael Cohen''s cell phone. The former president pointed at the file while scowling and declining to make eye contact.

Then-lawyer Cohen had been working full-time for the Trump Organization and was negotiating the 2016 payments to women alleging they'd had an affair with Trump. Among the things Cohen did was record conversations he had with Trump and the lawyer who represented the women.

Among the things Cohen did was record conversations he had with Trump and the lawyer who represented the women. According to legal analysts in the courtroom, Bove was asking investigator Douglas Daus about whether Cohen's phone could have been tampered with or data modified.

Just Security fellow Adam Klasfeld explained that it is "an uncommonly thorough cross-examination for this type of witness. Bove has been seeking to poke holes in the chain of custody and type of extraction used on the phone to acquire the evidence."

Either figuratively or literally will do. I had a bleak day yesterday (Chelsea 2 - Tottenham 0). Trump being held for, or even charged with contempt would cheer me right up.

Except the media, they don't wanttogive him up. Do you ever wonder why they NEVER show his crowds? The ones that are there are mostly paid to be there. Especially the ones behind the stage.
