Trump trial: Stormy Daniels takes stand, judge denies Trump attorney requests

Stormy Daniels wrapped up her testimony in the Donald Trump hush money trial in New York.

Trump’s defense attorney accused Daniels of slowly altering the details of an alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump, trying to convince jurors that a key prosecution witness in the former president’s hush money criminal trial cannot be believed.

Defense attorney for Trump, Susan Necheles led the continued cross-examination of Daniels.

Necheles, during questioning, pointed to a statement Daniels signed in 2018 denying an encounter with Trump ever took place. Daniels said she did not write the statement, but signed it. Daniels claimed ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen was pushing for her to sign the statement.

Following Daniels' testimony, Judge Juan Merchan denied a second request for a mistrial, and a request from the defense to modify the gag order after Trump's team objected to parts of Daniels' testimony.

Trump called Judge Merchan "totally conflicted" during remarks following his appearance in court.

Meanwhile, the prosecution said that they do not plan to call former Playboy model Karen McDougal to testify in the trial.

The 14th day of the trial comes the same day Barron Trump, the youngest child of former President Trump, was picked by the Republican Party of Florida as one of the state’s at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention.
