WATCH: CNN Panel Admits Stormy Daniels’ Testimony Is ALREADY Flopping

Tuesday got off to a bad start for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as he watched his star witness go down in flames before a jury that found nothing to laugh about in her behavior.

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.

“There have been a couple times where she seems to be cracking a joke, trying to get a reaction from the jury, and our reporters in the room have noted that the jury hasn’t seemed to respond,” said Kaitlan Collins as another host agreed. “No they’re taking their job seriously,” Jake Tapper replied.

Attorney Elie Honig sounded embarrassed for Daniels. “Humor is risky in the courtroom, especially if you go in with lines… If something happened spontaneously — if an easel falls over — people will laugh. They’re human. But it’s never gonna work if you go in there like ‘I’m going to amuse the jury and say this clever thing,'” he said.

The playacting contrasted with more serious elements of Daniels’ testimony, like when she claimed she told Trump in 2006 about her sexual health. She said she chose to work for her employer Wicked Pictures because the studio had a “condom-mandatory company.”

“At the time you had to be tested every 30 days,” she said according to CNN. “Even when I worked with my husband, I had to use a condom, even though I’m allergic to condoms, latex.”

She added that Trump had “very thought-out business questions” about her career during their meeting at a Lake Tahoe celebrity golf tournament.

“He asked how I got involved in the adult entertainment business,” Daniels says. “He was very interested in how I segued from just being a porn star to writing and directing. He asked about the business aspects of it. ‘Are there any unions, do you get residuals, how are people paid? Do you get health insurance? What about testing? Are you worried about STDs?’ He was very interested in a lot of the business aspects of it which I thought was very cool.”

Prosecutors allege that Trump authorized a $130,000 payment to Daniels before the 2016 election to inhibit her from going on the record about an affair and that the payment was illegally classified as a legal expense. The Federal Election Commission has previously found that the payment did not qualify as a campaign expense, something that Bragg has sought to prove since bringing charges last year.

On Monday former Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks testified that her boss was foremost concerned with how the allegations of an affair would affect his wife Melania, not his campaign. He asked her to ensure a paper was not delivered to his house when the Wall Street Journal reported on the allegation just days before the election. Going further, Hicks downplayed the effect that Trump believed such stories would have on his campaign; when the “Access Hollywood” tape was released, Hicks said, the former president acknowledged that it “wasn’t good” but was “pretty standard stuff for two guys chatting.”
