Following yet another long day in the cold Manhattan courtroom, former president Donald Trump responded to Joe Biden's comments to Howard Stern that he is "happy" to debate Trump. Seriously.
"We're willing to do it Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Thursday night, or Friday night on national television" Trump said to reporters before leaving court, "We're ready, just tell me where. We'll do it in the White House, that would be very comfortable actually."
Trump also sounded off on social media, posting on Truth Social: "Former President Trump and his team are requesting New York Judge Juan Merchan “immediately LIFT THE GAG ORDER” so that the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee can “freely state his views, feelings, and policies.”
“45th President Donald J. Trump is again the Republican Nominee for President of the United States, and is currently dominating in the Polls. However, he is being inundated by the Media with questions because of this Rigged Biden Trial, which President Trump is not allowed to comment on, or answer, because of Judge Juan Merchan’s UNPRECEDENTED AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL Gag Order,” Trump posted earlier today.
The judge is expected to hold a hearing on the gag order alleged violations on Thursday. Merchan has not yet ruled. Trump will return to court in New York on Tuesday.
