romad1 Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 Oh yeah? Quote 1 min ago Defense team renews objection to Stormy Daniels testifying about "details of any sexual acts" Trump attorney Susan Necheles is renewing the defense team's objection to Stormy Daniels testifying. "We want to renew our objection this morning. We’re informed the second witness will be Stormy Daniels. We want to renew our objection to her testifying, particularly about any details of any sexual acts," she says. Judge Juan Merchan asks: "Do you mean more than just, 'We had sex'?" Necheles replies, "Yes, your honor." "The details of the accounts are important," prosecutor Susan Hoffinger argues, adding the team Is being careful to omit some details that are "too salacious."

romad1 Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 Quote 2 min ago What Stormy Daniels has said as of 11 a.m ET From CNN Staff Stephanie Clifford – better known as Stormy Daniels — has taken the stand in the former president Donald Trump’s hush money trial. Here’s what to know about her testimony so far: Why she’s in court?: Speaking quickly, Daniels said she was testifying because she was subpoenaed. Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger asked her to slow down as she spoke, although CNN reporters in court said she appeared relax on the stand – leaning into the chair’s arm and laughing casually as she recounted her work experience. Jurors took notes during her testimony – but were not reacting to her laughs and sometimes blunt testimony. Her name: Daniels said she prefers being called Stormy Daniels, instead of Stephanie Clifford. How she started her career: While testifying, Daniels was asked how she got into her career. She said her friend told her she was a dancer, which she thought meant “ballet, jazz and tap. I was wrong, she was an exotic dancer.” Daniels said she worked out that through dancing, she could make more than in two nights “than I could shoveling manure eight hours a day.” Daniels continued, noting that she started nude modeling at 21 and then realized she wanted to be a traveling entertainer. She confirmed that she also worked in the adult film industry – saying she won 11 best director awards and two best screenplays. Media and books: Daniels said she’s written a book called “Full Disclosure” which she is in the process of finishing. She speaks about movies and music videos she has been in, including “40 Year Old Virgin” and “Knocked Up” as well as music videos. Daniels reveals she has a podcast – and discussed Trump on it. Meeting Donald Trump: Daniels was questioned about meeting Donald Trump at the Lake Tahoe celebrity golf tournament. “It was a very brief encounter,” she said. At the time, she was 27 years old and still working for an adult film picture company. Trump was “as old or older than my father” she said, adding that her father was 60. Daniels said he later approached her at the golf shop, and said he remembered her, telling her "that I was the smart one." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romad1 Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 Quote Trump's bodyguard gave Daniels his contact information, she says Daniels says after she declined Trump's dinner invitation, his bodyguard Keith Schiller took her cell phone number and then messaged her. The jury is seeing a photo of Schiller's contact entry in her phone. He's saved as "Keith Trump." Daniels says the contact was "Keith Trump" because she didn't know Schiller's last name at the time and he worked for Trump. "I do that a lot," to help identify contacts, she says. She said she had another dinner, but her publicist encouraged her to go to dinner with Trump. "What could possibly go wrong," Daniels recounted her publicist saying. She's clearly ramping up to something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/07/nyregion/trump-trial-hush-money-stormy-daniels Ms. Daniels has said they ate dinner in his room and talked, and he asked her about the porn business. [Trump] asked her to sign one of her movie DVDs, and said she reminded him of his daughter. Then, she says, he told her she should be on “The Apprentice,” his reality show. Ms. Daniels says she scoffed at the idea that a porn star could be on the show, but he insisted he could make it happen. Mr. Trump’s lawyers have said that they intend to argue that Mr. Trump’s interactions with Ms. Daniels concerned only her possible appearance on the show. After she went to the bathroom, Ms. Daniels has said, she emerged and found him on the bed, and they had sex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) 10 minutes ago, RatkoVarda said: no idead how this is relevant, but whatever It's a three step tie in. A is the need to show that what Daniel's says damages Trump as a candidate, B) establishing A provides the motivation that the payoff is a campaign necessity. C) In denying the payoff was a campaign expense in legally required financial disclosures a felony was committed. A->B->C = felony. Judge has to let prosecution follow A at least up to where the point Is made. Edited May 7 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Wonder if the defense will argue "It's not a campaign necessity to pay her off because everybody knows he's a womanizer and had sex with a lot of people and cheated on his wives, yada yada yada, and he was still elected in '16 and is the presumptive nominee 8 years later" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which all goes to the point the prosecution is trying to make, which is that they didn't want all of this to come out before the election. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a practical matter any witness lying doesn't help the case of the side that presents them, but here the prosecution can still get a net positive spin if they can make the arg as given above work.
