Fox News cuts off furious Trump in middle of rant about not 'fair' criminal trial
Former President Donald Trump's criminal courthouse rant was cut off mid-sentence Tuesday by the conservative cable network Fox News.Trump was laying into District Attorney Alvin Bragg, President Joe Biden, and Democrats outside his criminal hush money trial courtroom when Fox suddenly cut his mic. ...
"He's trying to injure his opponent," said Trump. "They're trying to hurt the opponent because they can't win fair and square—"
At this point, the network cut away, announcing an upcoming segment on Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Hmm...wonder if this has anything to do with the settlements on them airing false election claims.

I have to assume Fox's staff have had some pretty pointed training sessions from their corporate lawyers to try and prevent another costly lawsuit loss.
Fox doesn't want to have to state the fact that the election wasn't stolen in contradiction to Trump, so they rather cut away before he says it.
But who would sue them for this? They aren't blaming devices or companies here. They're blaming Biden, DOJ, the system and anything else in the government they can.
I imagine that leading up to the election, they don't want to show a pattern of unsubstantiated false election claims, since that can be used as evidence if later there is a claim by a host or guest which names a company directly that can be used in a lawsuit.
If such a lawsuit were to happen, they can point to this instance and claim that they tried their hardest to stop the unsubstantiated claims (even cutting off the former president), and it's not a systemic issue in the network.
He's such a whiny crybaby.
Probably trying to save him from violating his gag order.
The last few days of the trial saw a huge explosion of drama.
At the beginning of the week, Trump defense counsel Todd Blanche got the former president's ex-attorney Michael Cohen, a star witness for the prosecution, to admit he stole money from the Trump Organization, to attempt to cast doubt on the idea Trump knew all the financial decisions Cohen made on his behalf with hush payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Things derailed for the defense, however, when they called Cohen's former legal adviser Robert Costello to the stand, who proceeded to antagonize the judge and admit under cross-examination that he was manipulating Cohen to Trump's benefit.
Heh heh heh
There are 2 lawyers on the jury. If any of the other jurors were too stupid to know why the courtroom was cleared, I'm sure it was well-explained to them.
