Trump soiling himself in court again has even Laura Ingraham complaining.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham has said the courtroom where Donald Trump is on trial for alleged hush-money payments smells "musty."

"To give you a sense of what the GOP front-runner has been dealing with the past three weeks: The air is musty," Ingraham said on an episode of The Ingraham Angle. She added that the "floors are old" and the "benches hard oak, with an emphasis on the word 'hard.'"

Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee in November's election, is on trial in New York on 34 charges of falsifying business records in connection with a payment made to the adult film star Stormy Daniels that prosecutors say he arranged to keep an alleged affair between them secret ahead of the 2016 election. Trump, who is involved in three other criminal cases, has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denies having sexual relations with Daniels.

Ingraham's remarks came after a rumor emerged about Trump's courtroom etiquette. In April, Ben Meiselas, a founder of the liberal news organization MeidasTouch, cited "credible" sources who informed him the former president had been "farting" in the courtroom.

It's a putrid odor in the courtroom," Meiselas said on his podcast, adding that Trump's lawyers were "repulsed by the scent and the smell."

George Conway, a vocal Trump critic, said on X, formerly Twitter, that he had also heard similar rumors. "I heard this too. I'm not kidding. The court's going to have to issue more than a gag order here," he wrote.

And the rumours about Trump's incontinence and being forced to wear a diaper have been around for years. Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen called his old boss "Diaper Don."
