The Judge overseeing the Trump trial in New York City has been caught sending nude selfies of himself to teenagers in his spare time.
According to investigators, Judge Arthur Engoron posted multiple naked photos of himself on an alumni newsletter he oversees.

Engoron, a Wheatley alumnus from 1967, is responsible for curating the Wheatley Alumni Association Newsletter, which updates and connects past students with memories, news, and obituaries.
According to a post on Marco Polo’s X account, Judge Engoron has used this platform to share images of his nude body with former and current students – many of whom are teenagers.
Thegatewaypundit.com reports: The newsletter, in its 51st edition, features a variety of alumni-related content, from heartfelt memorials to lighthearted class reunion announcements.
It was in this very issue that Judge Engoron chose to include a “BonusTorsoPhoto,” a peculiar addition that showcased a malnourished torso, presumed to be his own. This unconventional editorial choice has left many questioning the appropriateness of such content in a school alumni newsletter.
Further stirring the pot, issue #63 of the newsletter presented a before-and-after pictorial of the same torso, ostensibly to display physical improvements over time. These images, intended to flaunt muscle gains, instead cast a shadow of doubt over the judge’s judgment.
The matter has not gone unnoticed in the media, with Jesse Watters of Fox News dedicating a segment to this unusual revelation. Watters did not mince words when discussing the judge’s actions.
He dubbed Judge Engoron “Judge Nudie,” a play on the famous “Judge Judy,” and expressed incredulity over the judge’s decision to share such personal images in a professional context.
Watters questioned the credibility and seriousness of a judge who engages in such activities.
“The man’s a joke,” Watters said, suggesting that someone with such a penchant for frivolity should not wield the power to make monumental decisions affecting the former President’s business ventures.
WATCH:
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, in 2015, Judge Engoron gave a lecture to college students and told them he makes decisions based on emotions about a case. Engoron said he will use ‘judgment notwithstanding the verdict’ to overturn verdicts based on emotions.
This is called “judgment notwithstanding the verdict.” While this particular trial against Trump in not a jury trial thanks to New York Attorney general Letitia James filing a consumer protection order, the below video does provide valuable insight into the mind of this radical activist deciding the 45th president’s fate.
In 2015 the Judge from the Trump case gave a lecture to some college students.
A French whistleblower has claimed that the wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is operating a sex trafficking network where displaced Ukrainian children are offered to known pedophiles worldwide.
In a report published by The Intel Drop, the former employee of Olena Zelenska’s non profit, provided Foundation documents along with his own personal work ID card to add credibility to his allegations.

He is also calling on authorities in France, Germany, and the UK to conduct a large-scale investigation into the activities of the foundation.
InfoWars reports: Olena Zelenska is Zelensky’s wife, who launched the foundation in New York City back in September 2022 alongside suspected human trafficker Hillary Clinton, celebrities Matt Damon, Jimmy Fallon, and others.
In the video uploaded by the alleged whistleblower, a man wearing a mask says he is speaking out to expose what’s happening within the Olena Zelenska Foundation based on his personal experience.
“So, here I am recording this video to tell you about what happened in Olena Zelenska’s Foundation when I worked there,” he tells the camera. “After I finish, I’ll send you this video via email together with the documents, all the facts of what had happened.”
“To start my story, it was here in France. I had a friend there who worked with different foundations. And he was the one who told me that there is a foundation that pays well in Ukraine, which offers good conditions. And so, I thought, why not?
“So, I contacted this foundation and then I prepared my documents and I went to Ukraine. When I came, I came to work there as a driver. They offered me this job and I signed the contract. Even the contract was something bizarre. There were clauses, for example, in the contract, that said we must not talk with children, we must not ask questions about host families, things like that. For me it was weird, but I thought, well, I’m a driver it’s not my business. I signed the contract. After signing the contract, I was given the pass. This one. Here’s the pass.”
Next, the man explains the job was “very simple” at first as he would take children from Ukrainian cities and bring them to orphanages in league with Olena Zelenska’s foundation.
All the orphanages associated with the foundation were in Europe, from Germany to France and England.
“It was there that we brought the children, we put them in orphanages,” the whistleblower continues. “Then there were staff who took care of them who were looking for foster families. As soon as we find a host family, we take them back from there as a driver and take them to the host family. That’s how I made these trips.”
Some of the host families reportedly lived in rich neighborhoods like the Kreuzberg district in Berlin, Dolphin Square in London, and Avenue Foch in France.
This is where the man’s story gets strange.
“I came to Avenue Foch. I came there with a child. I have the document that I will send you via email. I was with this child. His name was Dmitro. I brought him to the host family which lives on Avenue Foch. And the man who came out, he was quite old and he came out half naked. And it really surprised me, what was happening. He winked at the child. He took him by the hand like that. He signed the documents and all that and he closed the door. I told myself that it was necessary at that moment to take note that something was going wrong. But hey, I thought, well, it’s not my business.”
A few days after dropping Dmitro off with the “half-naked man,” the anonymous individual took another child, Volodymyr, from an orphanage to a host family.
The whistleblower says he had brought Volodymyr to another host family just weeks before and that he tried asking the boy why he was already going to a new home.
“I asked him a question, tried to communicate with him in English,” he explains. “I asked him what’s going on. He started crying. I was shocked. I told him that I have to take him to the family but he only cried. I understood that he doesn’t want to go there. And we were already in a car at the time. I didn’t know what to do, take him to the family or come back to the orphanage, where he doesn’t want to go also. I haven’t understood anything what was going on with him.”
“And then he started making the gestures. As I understood from these gestures he showed me, that he was touched in intimate places. I get it. It’s awful. At that moment I understood everything that was happening. It was really…it’s awful what happened with him.
See a photo of Dmitro, Volodymyr and other Olena Zelenska Foundation children below:
The French whistleblower then says he began looking through documents to understand what was going on and to find information about the home where the child was allegedly molested.
“I started looking through the documents for the family who had took him before. And there I find a name, that it was a certain man whose name was Bernard-Henri Lévy. I don’t know anything about this person so I searched on the Internet to see who he is. To find out if he has a Facebook or something like that. And then I found the information about him. And on the Web I found that he is all friendly with pedophiles and he keeps in touch with them.”
It turns out, Bernard-Henri Lévy is a French filmmaker and writer who donated his work royalties to the foundation.
According to The New Yorker, “Lévy has sparked controversy for a number of his stances, including his advocacy for France’s burqa ban, his ‘unconditional love’ of Israel, and his criticism of the rape cases against the film director Roman Polanski, who pleaded guilty to statutory rape, in 1978, and fled to France to avoid imprisonment, and Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former managing director of the International Monetary Fund. Strauss-Kahn, a friend of Lévy’s, has been repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct. In 2011, New York prosecutors charged him with the sexual assault of a maid at a Manhattan hotel; the charges were dropped, but not before Lévy published a piece defending Strauss-Kahn, in which he questioned why a maid would have gone into Strauss-Kahn’s hotel room alone, and claimed that his friend had been ‘thrown to the dogs.’”
Despite being of Jewish descent, Lévy also palled around with the wife of the commander of the openly neo-Nazi “Azov” regimen of Ukraine when he debuted his pro-Ukraine documentary “Slava Ukraini” (Glory to Ukraine) earlier this year.
Finishing his comments, the man in the video adds, “I understood how all these things were set up. Really, everything that’s going on there is horrible. I resigned right away. Child sex trafficking, no thank you. I don’t want to participate. That’s why I’m making this video now. I also hope that you will do your investigation and all this will stop. Thank you for everything. Thank you for the opportunity you gave me to tell everything that happened there.”
The official website for the President of Ukraine explains the foundation “has three key directions,” including “medicine, education and humanitarian aid.”
“Within these areas, it will provide targeted assistance, invest in reconstructing preschool and school education institutions, polyclinics and outpatient clinics, and provide grants for training and scientific developments,” the website states.
In September, President Zelensky asked controversial artist Marina Abramović to act as an ambassador to his country and to help rebuild schools following the war with Russia.
Since his wife’s foundation is taking up the task of reconstructing schools in Ukraine, it’s possible Abramović could be teaming up with the First Lady.
Abramović is a “performance artist” known for being part of the Wikileaks document dump that showed she sent an email to Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s brother Tony inviting the pair to a “spirit cooking dinner,” which is an occult-ritual founded by Satanist Aleister Crowley.
Hamas leaders admitted to the New York Times on Wednesday that they were created by Western intelligence agencies to help advance the globalist agenda of more forever wars in the Middle East.
According to several senior Hamas insiders, the terror group has no interest in governing Gaza and has been instructed by its paymasters to create a “permanent” state of war in the Middle East:

It was necessary to “change the entire equation and not just have a clash,” Khalil al-Hayya, a member of Hamas’s top leadership body, told The New York Times in Doha, Qatar. “We succeeded in putting the Palestinian issue back on the table, and now no one in the region is experiencing calm.”
…
“I hope that the state of war with Israel will become permanent on all the borders, and that the Arab world will stand with us,” Taher El-Nounou, a Hamas media adviser, told The Times.
…
“This battle was not because we wanted fuel or laborers,” he added. “It did not seek to improve the situation in Gaza. This battle is to completely overthrow the situation.”
Breitbart.com reports: The Times presented several Hamas complaints about Israel in euphemistic terms, as if they were accurate or legitimate. For example, it describes Jews trying to pray on the Temple Mount as “Jews openly praying at a contested site customarily reserved for Muslims,” without mentioning that it is also the holiest site in Judaism. The Times also cites “the Israeli police storming the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem,” without noting that they only did so because Hamas and other groups stockpiled weapons there.
Prior to the war, Saudi Arabia and Israel had been moving toward a deal on peace and normalization that would have been conditioned on an improvement of conditions for Palestinians, though not necessarily on the creation of a Palestinian state.
Rob Roos, a Dutch MEP who gained notoriety for exposing Pfizer, is sounding the alarms about the European Parliament and Member States forging an agreement to force all citizens to use digital identity verification.
“Breaking: Very bad news,” Roos posted on X. “The European Parliament and Member States just reached an agreement on introducing the Digital Identity, #eID.”
“Directly afterwards, #EU Commissioner Breton said: ‘Now that we have a Digital Identity Wallet, we have to put something in it…’, suggesting a connection between #CBDC and eID,” Roos added, referring to Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
“They ignored all the privacy experts and security specialists,” he continued. “They’re pushing it all through. I am not optimistic. But it is not too late yet. Parliament still has to vote about this. Let your MEP know that you oppose the Digital Identity and that you want your MEP to vote against it!”
The Council of the European Union made the announcement in a press release.
She did not bother to clarify how digital identification has anything to do with “democratic rights and values.” She did, however, expand on how the digital identification will be used to control citizens and privacy issues.
“The revised regulation constitutes a clear paradigm shift for digital identity in Europe aiming to ensure universal access for people and businesses to secure and trustworthy electronic identification and authentication,” she said.
“Under the new law, member states will offer citizens and businesses digital wallets that will be able to link their national digital identities with proof of other personal attributes (e.g., driving licence, diplomas, bank account),” she continued. “Citizens will be able to prove their identity and share electronic documents from their digital wallets with a click of a button on their mobile phone.”
“The new European digital identity wallets will enable all Europeans to access online services with their national digital identification, which will be recognised throughout Europe, without having to use private identification methods or unnecessarily sharing personal data,” she claimed. “User control ensures that only information that needs to be shared will be shared.”
Nadia Calviño, acting Spanish first vice-president and minister for economy and digitalisation, commented on the development.
“With the approval of the European digital identity regulation, we are taking a fundamental step so that citizens can have a unique and secure European digital identity,” she said. “This is a key advance for the European Union to be a global reference in the digital field, protecting our democratic rights and values.”
However soothing the sound of bureaucratic doublespeak out of Brussels, many people are rightly asking questions.
One commenter, Shaun Kaven, brought up the recently revealed blueprint for the Bank of International Settlements to move the world towards CBDCs and “tokenization” of all assets.
It’s way worse than you think, Rob.
I’d strongly encourage everyone to read the plan written by the BIS (Bank of International Settlement – basically, the Central Banks’ bank)
It’s long and tedious but I’ll give you the cliff notes. They want to create…
“It’s way worse than you think, Rob. I’d strongly encourage everyone to read the plan written by the BIS (Bank of International Settlement – basically, the Central Banks’ bank)…” he wrote.
“It’s long and tedious but I’ll give you the cliff notes,” he continued. “They want to create a CENTRAL LEDGER for CBDCs. That you already knew. But there’s something else much more insidious. They have a plan to tokenize ALL assets. When they roll this out, every asset in the country over a certain value must be tokenized and put onto the central ledger, or it will be forfeited to the government.”
“Oh, you thought you could escape the dollar collapse by buying properties? Nope. It’ll be tokenized and put on the ledger, and according to this document there will be rules for what you can do with it, how you can sell or buy, etc.,” he added.
“But I have gold and silver reserves. Another nope. They have to be tokenized too. If you don’t tokenize them, and the feds find them, you have to hand them over,” he claimed. “Now, I know a lot of you will say that you’ll defend your property and precious metals with your weapons but good luck against 50 ATF agents. That’s not the way to stop this. It needs to be stopped before it passes!”
There are also concerns that the digital wallets could be used to violate bodily autonomy rights by mandating vaccination or otherwise enforcing “social credit scores.”
The digital identification and CBDCs are hot button issues that many claim are fueling “conspiracy theories.” But if they’re “conspiracy theories,” how come we can see their plans in plain sight?
SAN ANTONIO (TCD) — A couple faces multiple felony charges after allegedly injecting their baby with meth to treat her burn injuries last week.
According to Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, on Friday, Nov. 3, a baby girl just over a year old sustained severe liquid burn injuries to her face, as well as her upper and lower body. Instead of seeking medical care, Salazar said the baby’s mother, 31-year-old Amanda Mann, called her partner, Dustin Lawrence, and asked him to bring home burn ointment.
Salazar alleges that Mann and Lawrence treated the baby with ointment and then injected her with meth to help her with the pain. The baby reportedly slept through the night. When she woke up, her parents pulled away the sheets, and parts of her skin allegedly peeled off.
According to Salazar, investigators believe the parents knew they would be in trouble, so they tried to keep the situation quiet as the baby continued to experience physical problems.
The infant reportedly struggled to breathe, so the parents used a bulb to extract mucus and attempted chest compressions. Salazar said the parents eventually called a family friend, who suggested they take the baby to the hospital, which they did on the night of Saturday, Nov. 4.
According to the Bexar Sheriff’s Office, Mann admitted the baby into the hospital, but she did not return. Salazar said officials eventually found her “milling around the parking lot” of the medical center.
Further investigation revealed the baby sustained the burns from boiling water on the stove, Salazar said. Officials do not know if the water spill was intentional or accidental.
The couple faces multiple felony charges. Salazar said in a statement, “Based on the level of outright torture this baby had to endure, I wish there was something else we could charge them with.”
As of Nov. 6, the baby is alive, and Salazar said he hopes the baby makes a full recovery. If that is not the case, the parents’ charges will be upgraded.
The sheriff added that the baby girl was failing to thrive at only 18 pounds and 24 inches at the hospital.
According to Salazar, the couple lived in a “filthy” RV with five other children, including a 6-year-old boy who reportedly tested positive for meth as well. The sheriff called it an “ugly, horrible” case.
Child Protective Services took custody of the children.
CNN has admitted that the majority of Americans now loathe President Joe Biden due to the negative effect his administration has had on the economy and security of the U.S.
A new CNN poll released on Tuesday revealed a 61 percent disapproval rating, leading CNN political director David Chalian to admit “the nation has soured” on Biden.

You know its bad when their own propaganda network says that about biden
Summit.news reports: The poll also found that almost three quarters of Americans see things going badly in the U.S.
The poll also found that just 25% believe Biden has the “stamina” and “sharpness to serve effectively” as president.
The poll also found that 10 percent more Republicans than Democrats are “extremely motivated” to vote in 2024, leading CNN to conclude that the GOP has the “enthusiasm advantage.”
Biden’s numbers are woeful compared to past presidents. At this point in their respective first terms, Nixon had a 10% higher approval rating than Biden, Clinton had a 13% higher approval rating, George W. Bush’s approval rating was 15% higher, and George H. W. Bush had a 20% higher approval rating in 1991 before LOSING the 1992 election.
“Biden’s down there between Donald Trump and Jimmy Carter. You may know, that is down in the category of one-term presidents,” said Chalian, adding “He clearly wants to turn that around and he’s got a year to do so.”
The Minnesota Supreme Court on Wednesday denied a petition to remove former President Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot in the state. The court deliberated on whether or not to accept the case in advance.
The justices stated in a concise opinion and order authored by Chief Justice Natalie Hudson of the Minnesota Supreme Court that the petition was ‘dismissed without prejudice.’
A liberal organization, Free Speech for People, filed suit on behalf of eight local electors, claiming that the secretary of state’s decision to place President Trump on the ballot would be an “error.”
According to Chief Justice Hudson’s opinion, “there is no ‘error’ to correct here as to the presidential primary election if former President Trump’s name is included on the presidential primary ballot after the Chair of the Republican Party of Minnesota provides his name to the Secretary of State.”
“Because there is no error to correct here as to the presidential nomination primary, and petitioners’ other claims regarding the general election are not ripe, the petition must be dismissed,” she wrote.
She further stated that the petitioners would be free to resubmit the claim concerning the general election ballot despite this dismissal.
President Trump issued a statement about the decision on Truth Social.
“Ridiculous 14th Amendment lawsuit just thrown out by Minnesota Supreme Court. Without Merit, Unconstitutional. Congratulations to all who fought this HOAX!” he wrote.
Chief Justice Hudson bluntly wrote in the opinion that it is in accordance with state law to permit President Trump to appear on the ballot if the state’s Republican party determines he fulfills their requirements.Minnesota Supreme Cour
“There is no state statute that prohibits a major political party from placing on the presidential nomination primary ballot, or sending delegates to the national convention supporting, a candidate who is ineligible to hold office,” she wrote.
“This is an internal party election to serve internal party purposes.”
BRADLEYVILLE, Mo. (TCD) — An 80-year-old man is facing several charges, including second-degree murder, for allegedly fatally shooting his roommate during a dispute in which the victim allegedly threatened to kill the suspect.
On Nov. 2 at 7:04 p.m., Taney County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a call about a male with a gunshot wound in Bradleyville and called paramedics asking for assistance to airlift the man to a hospital. When medics arrived, they declared the victim, who was identified as 52-year-old Jon Lovelace, deceased at the scene.
According to the probable cause affidavit, deputies identified Charles Tinker as the suspected shooter and detained him at the scene. Officials reportedly found a 9 mm Ruger handgun nearby.
A witness told deputies they saw Tinker shoot Lovelace in the stomach during an argument. Tinker allegedly corroborated the account because he “made unprovoked statements to law enforcement officers on scene that he shot the victim during a verbal argument.”
Tinker reportedly said Lovelace lived at the residence but failed to pay rent or pitch in for other expenses. He claimed he shot Lovelace because Lovelace “told him he was going to kill him.”
Deputies transported Tinker to a hospital for a brief confinement because he had consumed four shots of whiskey that night.
On Nov. 3, Tinker spoke with a Taney County deputy and allegedly admitted to shooting Lovelace. According to the affidavit, after Lovelace reportedly threatened to kill Tinker, Tinker retrieved a gun, “fired two shots behind a vehicle to make another individual leave from the residence and fired two additional shots at the victim.”
He allegedly claimed he intended to shoot Lovelace in the leg. He opened fire from his porch, then returned inside. The affidavit says Tinker failed to check on Lovelace or render aid.
Tinker allegedly “stated he shot the victim because he had ‘pushed my buttons’ and that’s all he was going to take.”
The tensions between the two men had reportedly been getting worse over time. The affidavit says Lovelace was not armed, nor did he fight Tinker at the time of the shooting. Tinker reportedly claimed he shot his roommate “from a combination of fear of safety and being angry.”
He was booked into the Taney County Jail and is being charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon.
In addition to the 8,000 Palestinians who have been killed in Gaza following the Oct. 7 false flag attack, thousands more Palestinians who were working in Israel have also been murdered.
According to reports, thousands of work-permitted Palestinian laborers were brutally killed by Israeli forces following the false flag attack by Hamas.

Naturalnews.com reports: Human rights groups and trade unions both say that the Palestinian workers may have been illegally detained in military facilities in the occupied West Bank where Israel has also been pushing out native Palestinian people.
So far, Israel is refusing to talk about any of the Palestinians being held captive by its military.
(Fact check: Most of the Israeli deaths caused by Hamas were military targets, not civilians – and certainly not the “40 beheaded babies,” which was later shown to be an Israeli hoax.)
Israel abusing, torturing Palestinians in undisclosed open-air concentration camps outside of Gaza, West Bank
On October 7, there were about 18,500 residents of Gaza who held permits to work outside the besieged strip in Israeli-occupied territory. Since the attack, the exact number of these workers in Israel and in Gaza has been disputed since thousands simply went “missing” after being taken to undisclosed locations.
One man named “Walid” – his real name and identity are being kept hidden for the protection of himself and his family – described being captured by Israeli forces and held in a “cage” without a roof, under the hot sun and without food, for three days.
Walid was not allowed to go to the bathroom or get a drink of water that entire time, according to a written testimony given to the Israel-based human rights organization HaMoked.
After being taken to a 300-square-meter area of land along with hundreds of other laborers, all of whom were forced to share a single chemical toilet cubicle, Walid says he was cursed at and beaten by Israeli soldiers after asking to contact the Red Cross for help.
After Israel Defense Forces (IDF) determined that Walid was born in Gaza but now resides in the West Bank, they finally let him go. Walid’s testimony has since gone viral, representing one of a few coming from Palestinians who say they are being held in concentration camps with other Gaza workers by Israeli occupying forces.
“We have been receiving hundreds and hundreds of phone calls from family members of people who were working in Israel prior to the [October 7] attacks,” says Jessica Montell, executive director of HaMoked, adding that more than 400 families and friends of missing Palestinians have contacted the organization in recent days.
By law, the Israeli military is supposed to inform HaMoked within 24 hours of a new capture where the person is being held.
“But for all those Gazans, they told us [they]’re not the right [authority to] address,” Montell says. “It can’t be the case that it’s not clear where they’re being held, how many are being held, under what conditions, under what legal status.”
HaMoked has since petitioned Israel’s High Court to disclose the names and locations of all Palestinian detainees to ensure they are being treated humanely.
Some Palestinians are believed to be detained in the Almon area, which is where Walid was detained, as well as in Ofer, near Ramallah, and in Sde Teyman, near Beer al-Sabe (Be’er Sheva), as well as in southern Naqab or the Negev desert.
There was an awkward moment at the third Republican primary debate on Wednesday night. The NBC moderator had to intervene before it got too out-of-hand.
The debate kicked off at 8 p.m. Eastern in Miami.
“BREAKING: Trump chant just broke out in the crowd at the RNC Debate and NBC producer yelled at them to stop,” conservative pundit Benny Johnson pointed out.
🚨 BREAKING: Trump chant just broke out in the crowd at the RNC Debate and NBC producer yelled at them to stop pic.twitter.com/FGCWQvAyqf
Five candidates were on stage at the time: former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott.
Missing — again — was front-runner Donald Trump, who was busy hosting a rally not far away, in Hialeah, Florida. You can watch live below via RSBN.
Despite some heated criticism, Trump has stated that he sees no value in attending the debates because his lead in the polls among Republican voters provides him with no incentive to counter the other candidates’ assaults.
“I like to debate. I probably am here because of debates. I don’t mind it at all,” he told Fox News’ Bret Baier in an interview this summer. “But when you’re 40 points up …. Why would I let these people take shots at me?”
Despite skipping the first two contests, Trump remains the undisputed favorite nationally and in the crucial early primary states.
As counterprogramming, Trump has been organizing numerous events in lieu of debating. His campaign rally is scheduled for Wednesday in Hialeah, Florida, which is conveniently located 10 miles northwest of the venue where his principal adversaries will be engaging in debate.
The objective of Trump’s rally, which will be held in a region where 95% of the population consists of Hispanics and Latinos, is to increase his support among a group that has become increasingly Republican in ideology in recent times.
A number of Trump’s closest allies and celebrity supporters will attend the Hialeah rally, including former White House press secretary and current Arkansas governor Sarah Sanders, who recently endorsed her former employer. In an effort to divert attention from his opponents, the Trump campaign is setting up a debate-style “spin room” at the rally site following the remarks, utilizing its own surrogates.
Trump will host a celebration for Florida Republican celebration leaders at his Mar-a-Lago Club the following day, on Thursday. This is an attack on DeSantis in the governor’s home state.
