Stormy Daniels, a key figure in the hush money trial involving former President Trump, didn’t shy away from taunting Trump and his legal team after her testimony on Thursday.
In a tweet posted on social media platform X, Daniels took a direct shot at Trump’s avoidance of testifying himself. She wrote, “Real men respond to testimony by being sworn in and taking the stand in court. Oh…wait. Nevermind.”
This tweet came in response to complaints from Trump’s legal team about her testimony earlier in the week. They tried to amend Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order to allow Trump to respond and even attempted to declare a mistrial, but both requests were denied.

During the trial, Trump’s attorney Susan Necheles attempted to undermine Daniels’ credibility with the jury. Necheles portrayed Daniels as an unreliable witness, alleging that she had changed her story about the alleged encounter with Trump over time and had profited from the allegations.
The hush money trial revolves around 34 felony charges Trump faces in New York, including falsifying business records to conceal payments made to Daniels through his former fixer, Michael Cohen, during his 2016 presidential campaign. These payments were allegedly made to ensure Daniels’ silence about her alleged extramarital affair with Trump.
The trial has attracted significant attention, not just for its legal implications but also for its broader impact on Trump’s legacy and political future.
As the trial unfolds, the tension between Trump, Daniels, and the legal system continues to be a focal point of public interest and scrutiny. The back-and-forth between them underscores the high stakes involved in the trial, with both sides seeking to assert their version of events and protect their reputations.
With each development in the trial, the drama is expected to escalate, adding another layer of intensity to an already heated legal battle.
