Stormy Daniels, the pornographic actress who allegedly had an affair with then-candidate Donald Trump, testified in a Manhattan court earlier today regarding the hush money payment made by Michael Cohen to cover it up.
After listening intently to the prosecution’s key witness, former President Donald Trump requested a mistrial.
The Hill reports:
“The guardrails for this witness, answering questions from the government, were just thrown to the side,” Trump attorney Todd Blanche said.
He suggested that Daniels’ story has changed since 2016 from a consensual affair to be more dubious and that some of the details the jury was allowed to hear, including that he didn’t use a condom, were inappropriate.
“How can you just let them ring the bell?” Blanche said.
Judge Juan Merchan quickly denied the request.
