Some legal experts characterized Trump's courthouse meltdown as a sign that he knows his defense stands little chance of prevailing.
"I think that Trump has already decided he's going to lose on the law," John Yoo, a Berkeley Law professor and former Justice Department official in the George W. Bush administration, told Fox News on Monday. "Last week, the judge already made all the key findings against him. So what I think President Trump has done is turn this all into a political strategy."
"I would say it was the acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, because everything he said, whether it's true or not, is all aimed at the political sphere," he said. "Everything he said could only make sure that he's going to lose. Attacking the judge for being rogue, saying the... attorney general is racist. Now, there's no way that this judge is going to find at all in the favor of President Trump."
The judge has already found that Trump is guilty. That was last week, the verdict has already been handed down. Trump is trying to make it sound as though he actually could win when he has already lost. This trial is only to determine the penalty or sentence.
