Judge SHREDS Alvin Bragg’s Team For Stormy Daniels’ Testimony: ‘Unnecessary’

Former President Donald Trump faces a pivotal day at his Manhattan trial on Tuesday, confronting a potential threat of jail time from Judge Juan Merchan. As the trial proceeds, prosecutors from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office are set to continue presenting witness testimony, with Stormy Daniels, the adult film actress.

After a brief morning recess, Judge Juan Merchan cautioned prosecutors against providing excessive details during their questioning of adult film actress Stormy Daniels. “The degree of detail we’re going into is unnecessary,” Merchan told Manhattan prosecutor Susan Hoffinger on Tuesday morning, encouraging her to keep the proceedings concise.

Earlier, prosecutors asked Daniels to describe the alleged meeting with Trump at a Lake Tahoe hotel room. The then-real estate mogul reportedly invited Daniels to dinner after meeting her at a celebrity golf tournament in 2006 according to Fox News. Daniels testified that she was under contract with Wicked Pictures at the time. The adult entertainment company sponsored one of the tournament holes and maintained a table there.

“It was a very brief encounter,” she said, describing how she met every player passing through the hole. “Players came through, and I was introduced to every player who came through. It was a very brief encounter.” Panelists on CNN torched the adult film star for yukking it up on the stand, cracking jokes, and trying to lighten the mood in what may be the most tense room in America right now. It even appeared that some of the jokes that flopped were scripted, one member added.

Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger probed Daniels about her conversation with Trump. Daniels said the exchange was limited, noting that Trump remarked, “You must be the smart one,” after learning she was a director. Daniels acknowledged she was aware of Trump’s role in “The Apprentice,” his reality show, and his appearances in commercials and cameos. She was 27 at the time, while Trump was around 60, roughly her father’s age.

The two crossed paths again in the gift room, where Daniels ensured Trump received a copy of her film, “Three Wishes,” and had a brief chat. Subsequently, she was approached with an invitation to dine with Trump. Daniels consulted her then-publicist about the dinner invitation, initially preferring to dine with her company instead. However, her publicist encouraged her to meet Trump, joking, “What could possibly go wrong?” The publicist implied it would be beneficial for Daniels’ career.

Daniels claimed she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006 and was paid $130,000 by Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen in 2016 to silence her before the presidential election. The transaction lies at the heart of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s criminal case against Trump, who faces 34 counts of falsifying business records. Trump has firmly denied any affair with Daniels.

The U.S. Secret Service is also reportedly in discussions over how it would manage Trump’s potential imprisonment if he is sentenced during the trial. The situation remains tense as prosecutors press forward with their case, bringing the former president closer to a legal showdown.
