Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump continues to suffer huge setbacks. Judge Juan Merchan continues to allow prejudicial testimony that is unrelated to the case, which legal experts say is a surefire way to get a potential conviction overturned on appeal. Bragg’s witnesses also haven’t helped either.
Last week, Keith Davidson, who is Stormy Daniels’ lawyer, testified that the $130,000 payment to Daniels should not be considered « hush money » but rather as a legitimate « consideration » payment. Davidson also testified that Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, was « despondent » when he didn’t get a White House job after Trump won the presidency in 2016.
Meanwhile, Hope Hicks’ testimony further undermined Bragg’s claim that Trump’s nondisclosure agreement with Daniels was motivated by the election, because, as she testified, « I don’t think he wanted anyone in his family to be hurt or embarrassed about anything on the campaign. He wanted them to be proud of him. » Hicks’ testimony effectively supported the outcome of federal investigations that found no evidence of criminal activity or violations of campaign finance laws.
On Tuesday, Daniels testified, and it was another bad day for Bragg.
