Trump Trial: Stormy Daniels to Testify About Hushed Money And Alleged Sexual Activity With Former President

This story is in progress. Check back throughout the day for updates. “Porn star Stormy Daniels will appear Tuesday as part of Donald Trump’s New York criminal hush money trial, according to NBC News. She is at the core of this historic case in which Trump stands accused of falsifying business records involving payments allegedly made for Daniels not speaking out about allegations she made against Trump from 2006 that she says occurred prior to that presidential election, when her then lawyer Michael Cohen paid her $130,000 just two weeks prior – only two of those payments ever came back against Trump against her allegations before winning! Merchan held Trump in contempt of court yet again for violating his gag order by violating it ten times, this time for violating it ten times! But the judge noted that these fines weren’t likely enough of an incentive for Trump, given his multibillionaire status. Merchan then told Trump “The last thing I want is for you to land yourself behind bars”. But Trump states: “I will if necessary.” On Tuesday morning, his since-deleted post strongly attacked Judge Merchan for political bias: “No Judge has ever run such an unfair and biased trial before,” Trump claimed. “He is corrupted and heavily biased against my First Amendment Rights. Now they threaten me with jail despite no cases being presented according to legal scholars & experts!” Trump wrote. His attorneys have tried repeatedly, with no luck, to have Merchan recuse himself due to what they claim is an apparent conflict of interest based on the daughter working at a Democratic political firm. A gag order prohibits Trump from speaking about potential witnesses for this case and from making statements related to lawyers, court staff and their respective families (Merchan extended it after Trump targeted family members of both judges and D.As).
