Former President Trump summed up his thoughts on his New York criminal trial in just two words on social media before he appeared at the Manhattan courthouse on Monday.

"KANGAROO COURT!" he wrote in a post on Truth Social.

Trump has railed against the case for weeks, in addition to criticizing Judge Juan Merchan and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for bringing it forward.

"'There weren’t any campaign violations committed by Trump,' Jonathan Turley," Trump also posted Tuesday morning.

The prosecution rested its case on Monday after Trump's defense team finished its cross examination of ex-lawyer Michael Cohen.

The defense now has the opportunity to call its own witnesses. It remains unclear whether they will call Trump to the stand.
