Trump criticizes Columbia University for canceling commencement ceremony: ‘That shouldn’t happen’

Former President Donald Trump has responded to the news that Columbia University has canceled its commencement ceremony, stating that “That shouldn’t happen.” The decision to cancel the ceremony comes amidst ongoing legal proceedings in New York, where Trump is facing a hush money trial.

The trial, taking place at Manhattan Criminal Court, has seen adult film actor Stormy Daniels testifying about the $130,000 payment she received from Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen to keep silent about an alleged sexual encounter with the former president. The trial has also seen Trump fined for contempt of court multiple times, with the judge warning of potential jail time for future violations.

As the trial continues, the prosecution expects to wrap up their case in about two weeks, with Cohen among the witnesses yet to be called. The trial has also featured emotional testimony from former White House communication director Hope Hicks, who recounted the panic that ensued when the Access Hollywood tape first emerged.

The cancellation of the Columbia University commencement ceremony has sparked debate and controversy, with Trump’s response adding fuel to the fire. The trial at Manhattan Criminal Court continues to unfold, with all eyes on the proceedings as they progress. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
