According to analyst Gregg Jarrett, Stormy Daniels‘ testimony on the second day was damaging to her case.
„A staggering example of self-immolation“ is what Gregg Jarrett called Stormy Daniels‘ second day of testimony in the hush-money case against former President Donald Trump.
„At one point, she reinforced Trump’s main defense,“ Jarrett, a Fox News legal analyst and commentator, wrote in an opinion article about Stormy Daniels‘ second day of testimony in a criminal trial against former President Donald Trump.
Daniels, an adult film actress and witness called by the prosecution, was cross-examined by Trump’s legal team on May 9 for her second day of testimony. Tuesday’s testimony primarily focused on the details of an alleged sexual encounter with Trump in a Lake Tahoe hotel room in 2006, while Thursday’s over two-hour cross-examination delved into the details of the $130,000 payment and Daniels’s career. Daniels refuted allegations of dishonesty regarding her sexual encounter with Trump.
He writes that Daniels‘ acknowledgment of „the agreement she signed was a legal matter being handled in a legal contract“ supported Trump’s defense argument that „the accord negotiated with Daniels was properly labeled as ‚legal expenses,‘ because that is what they were.
