The Latest | Witness testimony resumes as Trump's hush money trial enters 15th day
Witness testimony in Donald Trump's hush money case is set to resume and it caps a feverish few days that saw Stormy Daniels captivate jurors with sometimes graphic testimony, another failed bid for a mistrial and more
NEW YORK (AP) — When witness testimony in Donald Trump's hush money case resumes on Friday, it will cap a feverish week that saw porn actor Stormy Daniels take the stand, two failed attempts by the defense to have a mistrial declared, gag order sanctions and more.
Daniels' sometimes graphic testimony over two days riveted jurors and drew upset from defense attorneys who decried it on Thursday as prejudicial and overly gratuitous. The prosecution defended its questioning and Daniels' details of the alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump and ultimately, the judge denied the requests for a mistrial — chiding the defense for not objecting more during testimony.
Trump has denied the two ever had sex.
Several others took the stand after Daniels, including a former Trump Organization executive assistant and HarperCollins Publishing executive.
