A lawyer for former President Donald Trump said his team is moving for a mistrial in the “hush-money” case based on testimony delivered by witness Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels, on Tuesday, arguing that her comments were unjustly prejudicial. However, the judge in the case denied their attempts.
In the Manhattan court, Trump lawyer Todd Blanche said that Ms. Clifford’s claims about her encounter and alleged affair with President Trump in 2006 is different than the claims she made in previous years. Her testimony, he added, has nothing to do with the case—where President Trump is accused of falsifying business records—and that her comments are designed to prejudice the jury.
