Jonathan Karl, the Chief Washington Correspondent for ABC News, is set to release a forthcoming book that delves into the impact of Donald Trump on the Republican Party and his strategic positioning in anticipation of the 2024 presidential race.
On Thursday, The Atlantic released an essay authored by Karl, which consists of adapted extracts from his forthcoming book entitled “Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party.”
The essay mostly focuses on Trump’s declaration of his 2024 presidential candidacy and his utilization of vengeful speech. However, Karl highlights a particularly intense incident involving Trump, which pertains to his prosecution in New York City about the concealment of hush money.
“The trial date for the hush‐money case was later set during a hearing with Judge Merchan where Trump appeared via video from a room in Mar‐a‐Lago. For most of the appearance, Trump silently listened, his microphone on mute. But when the judge announced the court date—March 25, 2024—he reacted angrily, waving his hands and shaking his head,” Karl reported, adding:
No one in the courtroom could hear him, but he appeared to be yelling at the lawyer sitting next to him in Mar-a-Lago, Todd Blanche. According to a source there with Trump, the former president erupted at Blanche because the March 2024 trial would be during a crucial point in the presidential campaign.
“That’s in the middle of the primaries!” Trump yelled. “If I lose the presidency, you are going to be the reason!”
Trump’s fury at his attorney “continued for nearly 30 minutes after the court appearance ended and the camera was turned off—a withering attack on perhaps the most highly regarded lawyer on Trump’s troubled legal team,” Karl continued, citing his source’s account.
“You little fucker! You are going to cost me the presidency!” Trump yelled at Blanch, reported Karl.
