Donald Trump appeared to out himself after news broke that the Manhattan district attorney is presenting evidence to a grand jury that the former President may have committed crimes in connection with hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy McDaniel in 2016, in what is described as a "dramatic escalation of the inquiry."

Donald took to Truth Social and appeared to admit that he was guilty inadvertently but said that it happened "a long time ago."

"With respect to the "Stormy" nonsense, it is VERY OLD & happened a long time ago, long past the very publicly known & accepted deadline of the Statute of Limitations," he wrote. "I placed full Reliance on the JUDGEMENT & ADVICE OF COUNCIL, who I had every reason to believe had a license to practice law, was competent, & was able to appropriately provide solid legal services. He came from a good law firm, represented other clients over the years, & there was NO reason not to rely on him, and I did."

Stormy took to Twitter to thank the one-term President for admitting she was right.

Someone asked her whether using "mushroom" in quotation marks would be appropriate, too, as an apparent dig to Trump since Stormy had previously described Trump's little peen looking like a little mushroom.

Then, as if it hit Trump as to what he just admitted, he unleashed a rant.

"The "Stormy" Fake Witch Hunt has been stop and go, on again, off again, for years, to the point where the whole thing has become Prosecutorial Misconduct," he added. "Missed Statute Big. The Fake News has been pushing the D.A., and all D.A.'s and Prosecutors, at a level that they have NEVER been pushed before. Just study D.A. Bragg's CNN interview from 2 months ago - Disgraceful! There's NO GUILT, just Trump Derangement Syndrome. GET this man, even if he's innocent. It's all WEAPONIZED POLITICS. So Sad!"

Thanks for the new evidence for the grand jury, you raving lunatic. Keep talking, buddy.
