Trump Railroad
Trump’s Manhattan railroad trial concluded this week with the defense cross-examining porn pin-cushion Stormy Daniels. Her testimony was fundamentally and entirely irrelevant. The case is about documents, not Daniels. The prosecution called her to plant negative feelings in the jurors’ minds, not to prove any fact about the allegations – thus her testimony was both more prejudicial than probative and irrelevant.
Nonetheless, and on balance, the defense painted her as a liar and part of the “get-Trump” crowd. Questions about writing porn scripts about fake sexual encounters were effective. Under normal circumstances, her testimony would have been a plus for the defense. Alas, this is a kangaroo court, so it might not make a difference for the trial court, but her testimony did create another reversible error.
