Former President Trump’s defense team has requested a mistrial during pornographic actress Stormy Daniels’ testimony, leading to a fiery courtroom exchange.
The defense, led by attorney Todd Blanche, argued that Daniels’ testimony was prejudicial and aimed at swaying the jury, prompting a swift dismissal from Judge Juan Merchan.
Despite the defense’s persistence and claims of prosecutorial overreach, Judge Merchan denied the mistrial request, expressing efforts to control the testimony’s impact.
Meanwhile, Trump took to social media, denouncing the trial as baseless and advocating for a mistrial, echoing his defense team’s sentiments.
As tensions rise and the clash between defense and prosecution intensifies, the trial continues with both sides vehemently defending their positions.
