Donald Trump’s legal team requested Judge Juan Merchan call a mistrial in the Alvin Bragg-led prosecution of the former president—but the judge shot them down. The drama came after former porn performer Stormy Daniels took the stand to talk about her alleged past sexual relationship with Trump, testimony that the defense thought was prejudicial because it did little to prove anything about misclassifying business records, which is ostensibly what the case is about.
JUST IN: Trump’s lawyers moved for a mistrial and was denied by the judge. They say that the Stormy Daniels testimony was completely different from what she said in 2016, and the only purpose of her testimony was to embarrass Trump and to inflame the jury.
