Former President Donald Trump, with his lawyer Todd Blanche, right, speaks to members of the media as he arrives at Manhattan criminal court, Tuesday, May 7, 2024, in New York. After a day in court where porn star Stormy Daniels recounted in excruciating detail an alleged sexual romp with former President Donald Trump, he emerged to declare the prosecutors’ case is “totally falling apart.”
“This is just a disaster for the DA, the Soros-backed DA. This whole case is just a disaster,” Mr. Trump said to reporters. “I should be out campaigning right now. I’m leading in all the polls. I’d like to be campaigning, we’ll be leading by a lot more,” he said.Earlier, Mr. Trump’s lawyer moved for a mistrial, saying testimony offered by Ms. Daniels — including her suggesting Mr. Trump raped her — went too far.
Defense attorney Todd Blanche also said Ms. Daniels seemed to alter her story to make it sound like it was not a consensual encounter, and it would be hard to “unring the bell” for the jury.
