Donald Trump has made a habit of bringing stacks of printed-out news articles and columns about the trial with him to court, quoting from them as he speaks to the press — including several from The Post.

Today, he read from Miranda Devine's Wednesday column, "Dems’ kangaroo court against Donald Trump is only backfiring," in which she writes, "We have heard it all before. It happened eight years ago. Dems already wheeled out the scandal in 2016 and it didn’t work then.

"Why would it work eight years later, and why now, six months before the election?"

Trump also flashed our report on President Biden's false inflation claims from this week for the cameras.

Donald Trump also just predicted another recession if he doesn't win back the presidency in November:

"If I [don't] win, you would have a crash like the crash of 1929," America's 45th president said, referencing the devastating stock market collapse that led to the Great Depression.

"Mark my words. I've been right about everything."

Just before that, he said, "the only reason the stock market's going up is because I'm winning in the polls."

Donald Trump is talking to reporters in the court hallway after trial just ended for the day.

He again blasted the gag order that prevents him from publicly speaking about witnesses or jury members, saying the judge wants to throw him in jail if he says one word out of line.

"That could happen one day," Trump said. "And I'd be very proud to go to jail for our Constitution."

Prosecutor Josh Steinglass said his office has repeatedly told Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels to stay quiet about the case — so far to no avail.

"We have repeatedly asked the witnesses not to do that, but the fact of the matter is that the witnesses are not subject to the gag order," Steinglass told the court.

Cohen has repeatedly spoken about the case, as recently as Wednesday night on TikTok, Donald Trump's lawyer said.

Daniels also posted on X Thursday night, in a taunt to Trump, that "real men respond to testimony by being sworn in and taking the stand in court. Oh...wait. Nevermind."

Todd Blanche asked the judge to tell Michael Cohen to cool it with his TikTok posts after Cohen posted a new one Wednesday.

“He’s wearing a white T-shirt with a picture of President Trump behind bars," Blanche told the judge.

"It's becoming improper every day that President Trump is not allowed to talk to this witness, but he continues to talk."

Justice Juan Merchan asked Manhattan prosecutors to tell Cohen to "refrain from making any more statements" about Trump or the trial.

"That comes from the bench," Merchan said.

Prosecutors said they have instructed all witnesses and potential witnesses to refrain from talking about the case.

Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass said prosecutors plan to call two witnesses next week — and that their case could possibly rest by the end of the week.

“We expect to call eventually two witnesses and I think it’s entirely possible that we will rest by the end of next week," Steinglass said.

Michael Cohen is expected to be the first witness Monday.

The jurors were sent home early Friday.

A witness called back to the stand confirmed that her review of social media posts didn’t include Michael Cohen’s TikTok videos — which he's been cashing in on during Donald Trump's trial.

Georgia Longstreet, a paralegal for the Manhattan DA’s Office, said her review did not include posts sent by Cohen.

This came after Trump attorney Todd Blanche pressed her following her testimony earlier in the trial, when she testified about some of Trump’s social media posts.

“You’re still not reviewing Mr. Cohen’s TikTok?” Blanche asked. “You’re not aware of anything he TikToked, for example, two nights ago?”

Cohen, the once-loyal lawyer of Trump, has been cashing in on his nightly TikTok livestreams during Trump’s hush money trial.

Cohen has earned money through donations for the videos, during which he has discussed Trump, the ongoing trial and testimony from the case.

He's expected to testify Monday.

Judge Juan Merchan ruled in Donald Trump's favor this morning by saying prosecutors could not bring up Trump's 1999 interview on "The Larry King Show" in which he brags about "extensive" knowledge of campaign finance law.

The judge said that trying to connect Trump's thoughts all the way back to 1999 to what he knew or didn't know about campaign finance law during his 2016 presidential campaign would be taking things too far.

In a rough moment for the defense, Madeleine Westerhout, Donald Trump’s personal assistant at the White House, claimed today that Trump "knew" an article about Stormy Daniels' racy allegations would hurt his family — but admitted that he did not say so "specifically."

“He knew it would be hurtful to his family,” Westerhout told Trump lawyer Susan Necheles about a conversation Westerhout says she had with Trump before the Wall Street Journal ran a story about Daniels in 2018.

But when pressed about this by prosecutor Becky Mangold, Westerhout confessed that Trump did not bring up his family "specifically."

"I don’t believe he said that ... He didn’t specifically speak about his family in that conversation," she testified.

Trump's motive is important because prosecutors say he ordered the $130,000 hush money payment to Daniels before the 2016 election primarily to hide a damaging story from voters, rather than to protect his family.

Madeleine Westerhout wrapped up her testimony after about 45 minutes. A new witness, Daniel Dixon, is being sworn in.

Dixon works for AT&T as a lead compliance analyst. He's worked in that role for "roughly six to seven years," he said.
