Stormy Daniels says Donald Trump has called her "sleazebag" and "horseface" multiple times.
The prosecutor has displayed Trump's "'Horseface' case" post on Truth Social from March 15, 2023.
She's now reading Trump's post aloud.
Daniels says the post, in which the former president says he hadn't seen or spoken to Daniels since a photo on a golf course 18 years ago, is false "because I met with him numerous times after that and spoke to him on the phone countless times."

Trump attorney Susan Necheles started her cross-examination by asking Stormy Daniels, "You rehearsed your testimony here, right?" "No," Daniels said.
Nechels is reading Daniel's words back to her. "You agreed you were subjected to grueling prep sessions which included brutal mock cross examination?"
Daniels is raising her voice
"It is not rehearsing my testimony," Daniels says.
Necheles asks Daniels whether she was untruthful when she says she was subjected to mock cross-examination. "I was incorrect, I did not know what true court would be like," Daniels says.
She says on the stand that the prep sessions were "difficult" because it was "painful" to discuss her memories.

"Am I correct that you hate President Trump?" Trump attorney Susan Necheles asks Stormy Daniels

Stormy Daniels is asked whether Michael Avenatti is still her lawyer.

Quote:

Trump attorney Susan Necheles is trying to get into evidence a form partly filled out that asks for details about Stormy Daniel's finances.
It's a form she's required to fill out describing her assets.
Daniels said publicly in interviews, including with Jeff Toobin, that she wouldn't fill it out, and she'd go to jail before filling it out.
Now on the stand, Daniels says she wouldn't fill it out because it asked questions about her daughter.
Necheles asked her to confirm the form only asks for her daughter's name. Daniels says she didn't know.
Trump is looking closely at the form on the screen that Necheles is trying to enter into evidence.

Can someone remind me of the actual crime here?

Is it paying off an idiot that is such an idiot that you never needed to have paid her to begin with because she is an absolute buffoon?

But seriously, just to make sure I stay focused on the actual point of the trial...this is still all about how a payment for an NDA was entered into the ledger, correct?

So what relevance does that have to the case? Why isn't the defense objecting to this? The only reason for that is to prejudice the jury on something that has nothing to do with the legality of whether or not the payment and subsequent recording of the payment was legal or not.

I wish an appeals court could step in pre-emptively during a trial when it's obvious to everyone it's a kangaroo court sham of a trial and a waste of taxpayer dollars.

Why the defense isn't raising hell over the failure to invoke the Molineux rule of New York State I have no clue. And even if this quack judge wants to overrule Molineux under state law If irrelevant and or prejudicial evidence is admitted, the court still has to give instructions to the jury, relating to the specific purpose of the evidence and recognizing it's irrelevancy. See F.R.E. rule 404(b).
