Judge refuses to let Trump 'have his cake and eat it too' in Stormy Daniels case

Raw Story  

Donald Trump's trial has been halted for a month in Manhattan after the Department of Justice recently disclosed a stockpile of documents to his defense team, which gives him a brief pause before potentially facing accountability, but a series of lesser known rulings haven't been going his way. New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, who's overseeing the hush money case involving adult film star Stormy Daniels, made two significant rulings this week that could have a major impact on the trial that's expected to begin sometime next month, and both should concern the former president and his team, reported The Daily Beast. "The first of these decisions allows a number of witnesses to testify in the case, including Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen; former American Media CEO David Pecker; Dina Sajudin, a former Trump Tower doorman; and Karen McDougal, another individual who is alleged to have received similar payments to Daniels, also to cover up an alleged affair with the former president," wrote Ray Brescia, associate dean for research and intellectual life at Albany Law School. Trump's team argued that because there was a lawyer in the room during conversations about the hush money payment, the former president could argue that any guidance he received should be perceived as legal, but the judge wasn't buying that argument and refused to allow that defense, saying that would allow Trump to "confuse and mislead the jury" by allowing him to invoke a tactic that he's already said he wouldn't use. "While the hush-money prosecution may have faced a temporary setback, these recent rulings likely mean the case is not just on track, but also headed full-steam to trial in the near future," Brescia wrote.
