Trump Social Media Post Undercuts DOJ Ahead of Court Hearing

Original: Trump's Social Media Post Undermines DOJ's Legal Position Before Court Hearing 📰 Original title: Trump blows up DOJ’s ca

Hours before his lawyers were due before a judge described as 'very angry', Donald Trump published a social media post that commentators say undermined the Justice Department's legal position in the case. Outlets including MS NOW reported that the post blew up the department's arguments just as the hearing was getting underway, prompting sharp criticism and renewed discussion of the clash between Trump's public statements and his legal team's courtroom strategy.

Why now: A sitting political figure's public post directly contradicted his own lawyers' arguments right before a high-stakes court hearing.
