Former President Trump's criminal trial reached a fever pitch Tuesday amid salacious testimony from Stormy Daniels that prompted a motion for a mistrial and a scolding from the judge.
The unprecedented criminal trial of former President Trump reached a fever pitch Tuesday with highly anticipated and salacious testimony from adult film actress Stormy Daniels that prompted a motion for a mistrial and a scolding from the judge. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. The charges stem from a years-long investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
Trump, after Daniels' testimony, followed the gag order and did not mention Stormy Daniels by name or reference her testimony. 'This was a very big day, a very revealing day as you'll see their case is totally falling apart,' Trump said. 'They have nothing on books and records and even something that should bear very little relationship to the case is just a disaster ... for the Soros-backed DA,' he continued. 'This whole case is just a disaster,' Trump said.
Trump lamented that the trial is preventing him, the presumptive GOP nominee for the 2024 presidential election, from being on the campaign trail. 'I'm stuck. I'm here instead of being in Georgia, instead of being in New Hampshire, instead of being in Wisconsin and all the different states that we wanted to be, and we're not able to be there because we're stuck in this trial, which everyone knows is a hoax,' he said.
