Trump’s Defense Attorneys Likely Concerned Jury Will Be ‘Unduly Tainted’ by Stormy Daniels’ Testimony: Analyst

Former President Donald Trump’s business records trial in New York on Thursday saw aggressive cross-examination of adult film actress Stormy Daniels by his defense attorneys. According to Zack Smith, a former federal prosecutor and a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, President Trump’s attorneys are likely concerned the jury will be “unduly tainted” by Ms. Daniels’ testimony—which he said is not relevant to the prosecution’s allegations of business records being falsified.
