MSNBC host Rachel Maddow and political experts observe Donald Trump’s demeanor in court, noting signs of aging, fatigue, and anger. The Georgia Republican Party faces criticism for spending $1.7 million in legal fees for those involved in Trump’s election interference scandal. An appeals court ruling favors attorney Sidney Powell, who has faced allegations of professional misconduct related to Trump’s election overturn attempts.
Political analyst Jonathan Alter observes the negative impact of former President Donald Trump’s ongoing trial on his political standing. Trump’s demeanor in court, including his body language and falling asleep, projects weakness and undermines his image. Alter also highlights the legal troubles faced by Trump’s lawyer, Sidney Powell, and discusses how Trump’s father instilled in him a fear of being a ‘loser.’
Sidney Powell, an attorney aligned with former President Donald Trump, has had a ruling upheld in her favor by an appeals court in Texas, rejecting professional misconduct allegations. However, Powell pleaded guilty to election subversion charges in Georgia. The court stated that dishonesty involves a conscious perversion of truth, and Powell’s conduct met this definition.
