    “This is a witch hunt, and it’s a very corrupt trial,” Trump said on his way into court Thursday.

    He still doesn’t grasp that this is not a trial. The judge has already found the Trump org guilty. This is about assessing damages.

      Technically, they’ve been found liable - not guilty - as this is a civil trial. But, yeah, you’re right. At this point, it’s just a matter of determining how much they’ll have to pay.

        In this case, it’s a useless distinction that encourages people to still deny responsibility. “They said I had to pay something but I’m not guilty of anything.” Like the press still having to say “allegedly” when there’s a mountain of proof something did really happen.
