Lawyer sees confusing jurors as key to getting Trump acquitted: analysts
Raw StoryStormy Daniels appeared in court again Thursday as cross-examination took a testy turn — and analysts said Donald Trump had a specific aim. The former president's attorney, Susan Necheles, questioned Daniels and asked about repeated denials by her of an allegeged sexual relationship — which she has since gone into lurid details of in her testimony. Legal analyst Temidayo Aganga-Williams, who previously served as senior counsel on the Jan. 6 Committee, said the back-and-forth about the NDA could be about creating "complexity and confusion" for the jury. "I think ultimately, if you're thinking about juries, you want to make sure that this witness who is important to the prosecution's case, if you're the defense, is not likable and is not credible," said civil rights attorney Charles Coleman.
