Justice Juan Merchan denied former President Donald Trump’s defense’s move for a mistrial on Tuesday over adult film star Stormy Daniels’ testimony at his business records trial in Manhattan.one of Trump’s attorneys, Todd Blanche, argued that Daniels’s “testimony was overly prejudicial, and that the government was asking questions ‘to inflame this jury.’”
Blanche said Daniels’ testimony on Tuesday was about “consent and danger” and said that was “not the story that she was selling in 2016.” Blanche also said that Daniels is testifying about consent, and said that kind of testimony “makes it impossible to come back from.” Blanche said the defense “objected as best we could but she was able to say what she said.”
In a post on X, Daily Caller Court Reporter Katelynn Richardson quoted Blanche as saying, “The guardrails for this witness answering questions from the government were just thrown to the side.”In response, prosecutor Susan Hoffinger claimed the state was “extremely mindful of not eliciting too much testimony,” per Richardson.
