"OK, Gums, we know you're just waiting for the old fart to croak, but ignoring the trial isn't a good look, and he might be tempted to disinherit you. If Jeffrey Dahmer's family could come to his trial, you can come to this one."

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is in New York with Donald Trump at the former president's criminal trial, saying he will sit through the proceedings he called "sham."
This trial is a travesty of justice, Paxton wrote on social media. I stand with Trump.
Paxton did not make clear whether he is in New York for official state business or simply to attend the trial with Trump, with whom he has a close political relationship. The Manhattan trial, now in its second week, is expected to last six weeks.
Trump is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush-money payment to a porn star amid his 2016 election campaign. He has pleaded not guilty. Trump is also fighting three other criminal indictments, but this will likely be the only one heard before the November presidential election in which hes expected to face a rematch with Democrat Joe Biden.
Paxton could be seen entering the courthouse with Trump and his entourage on a live feed just before 8:30 a.m. Tuesday. Dressed in a blue suit and red tie, Paxton stood behind the former president as he spoke with reporters briefly before the trial resumed. Paxton did not make any public comments.
