00:00 I called President Trump and told him I wanted to be here myself to call out what is a travesty of justice.
00:07 And I think everybody around the country can see that.
00:10 President Trump is a friend and I wanted to be here to support him.
00:14 I'm here speaking with you outside because the court won't allow us to speak inside the building.
00:20 That's just one of the many things that are wrong here.
00:22 This is the fifth week that President Trump has been in court for this sham of a trial.
00:28 They are doing this intentionally to keep him here and keep him off of the campaign trail.
00:34 And I think everybody in the country can see that for what it is.
00:37 I'm an attorney. I'm a former litigator myself.
00:40 I am disgusted by what is happening here, what is being done here to our entire system of justice overall.
00:47 The people are losing faith right now in this country, in our institutions.
00:51 They're losing faith in our system of justice.
00:54 And the reason for that is because they see it being abused as it is being done here in New York.
