Trump was enjoying a day at the golf course today when he was asked why he didn’t show up for court today.
Meanwhile, his Mar-a-lago property manager is still trying to find an attorney to deal with the chargers being brought against him by Biden’s henchman Jack Smith.
Here’s more via Fox News:
Former President Donald Trump said Thursday he didn’t think it was “necessary” to appear at a hearing Thursday regarding new charges related to classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida.
Asked during a round of golf at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club why he chose to waive the court appearance, Trump responded, “I didn’t feel it was necessary.”
The comments from Trump came as he entered a not guilty plea to the new charges.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Shaniek Mills Maynard formally accepted the plea from Trump, who told the judge in court papers last week he is not guilty and waived his right to appear at Thursday’s hearing. Trump’s aide Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, the property manager of Mar-a-Lago, were both present for the hearing.
Mar-a-lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira was unable to enter a plea today because, for whatever reason, he still hasn’t found an attorney:
De Oliveira was unable to enter a plea in the case because he still has not secured a Florida-based attorney, which is required under local court rules. His arraignment was pushed back a second time and is now scheduled for Tuesday.
I don’t know why he hasn’t found one yet but my first guess is money. It’s also probably not a case that has lawyers flocking to represent him because of the political nature of it. Between the two issues, it can’t be easy.
Given that this is all about Trump, I would hope he’d help his property manager out with the cash part of it.
