Trump warned there will be 'little tolerance' for his 'shenanigans' at immunity hearing

Raw Story  

Responding to a blustery announcement from Donald Trump that he will be making an appearance at the U.S. Court of Appeals for a Tuesday hearing on his presidential immunity appeal, one former prosecutor warned the former president that he is on thin ice. Just after midnight Monday, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to announce, "I will be attending the the Federal Appeals Court Arguments on Presidential Immunity in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. Noting that the former president has been making a habit of holding impromptu press conferences outside Judge Arthur Engoron's courtroom to complain about being held accountable for committing financial fraud, former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance alerted the former president those kinds of antics won't play well with the appeals court justices. Especially if reports that trial Judge Tanya Chutkan was swatted last night are true, expect little tolerance for Trump shenanigans."
