Former President Trump’s defense attorneys are moving for a mistrial amid the testimony of pornographic actress Stormy Daniels. Defense attorney Todd Blanche, after court's lunch break, told Judge Juan Merchan that Daniels' testimony Tuesday morning was prejudicial. Blanche said the prosecution is trying to inflame the jury with Daniels’ testimony, including with evidence that he says does not matter.
' Blanche questioned how the defense could 'come back from this' in a way that could be 'fair' to former President Trump.'We believe there should be a mistrial,' Blanche said. 'Or that this witness’ testimony is excluded and extremely limited.' Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger says the defense was fully briefed on Stormy’s testimony in the motions prior to trial, and argued that Daniels' testimony was probative to Trump's intent.
