Attorneys were still debating the testimony of Stormy Daniels at the end of the day, even though the cross-examination in former President Trump’s hush money trial had concluded earlier on Thursday.
The Trump team once again requested a mistrial, claiming that the salacious details revealed by the witness were excessive and unrelated to the charges of falsifying records.
Trump’s team has requested the judge to modify the existing gag order, allowing Trump to respond to Daniels’ testimony. They argue that Daniels’ testimony has been dominating media coverage for the past 24 hours, depriving the former president of an opportunity to present his side of the story.
The judge rejected both requests.
