The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

75%

Examples:

  • Bragg must have skipped his law school class when the 'doctrine of impossibility' was taught.
  • It was foolhardy for Bragg’s legal team to call Hicks. A rank amateurish mistake.
  • The moment cross-examination began, their misbegotten case against the former president began to collapse.
  • This makes Hicks’ testimony superfluous, and it proves nothing.
  • Voters see this for precisely what it is: a pathetically weak case designed to damage Trump politically to the benefit of President Joe Biden’s reelection chances.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Hope Hicks testified that Trump described Cohen as a person who ‘felt like it was his job to protect him'.
  • Trump was aware that Cohen paid off Stormy Daniels to end her blackmail demands.

Deceptions

45%

Examples:

  • Bragg accuses Trump of suppressing information to win an election.
  • But that won’t stop him in his dogged pursuit of former President Donald Trump in a legally perverse case.
  • It’s the same dubious tactic that triggered this week’s reversal of Harvey Weinstein’s sex conviction.
  • Predictably, the biased judge, Juan Merchan, is letting them get away with it.
