We have an acting judge, appointed judge by Democrats, by the club, and they're keeping me now, this is our fourth week, soon to be our fifth week not campaigning. But you saw what happened, what just took place in that court. And hopefully the motion to dismiss this trial will go through because this trial is a disaster for our country. It's a disaster for New York state, for New York City." "I think the case is going very well. We've asked for a termination of the case. This case should be terminated. This shouldn't go anywhere, it should be terminated right now. And New York state has to build up its system again. New York state can't let this happen. Can't let this happen. There were no crimes. We did nothing wrong. And I want to get back to campaigning. I'm representing millions and millions, hundreds of millions of people."
