to face a criminal trial when proceedings begin in Manhattan. He faces 34 charges of falsifying business documents which revolve around the payment of “hush money” to the adult film actorbefore the 2016 election. The “hush” in question concerned the details of an affair between Trump and Daniels a decade earlier.
All well and good but the extraordinary nature of the business in records could lead to explosive testimony, not least because of the composition of the likely witnesses. Speaking at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, Trump said he was ready to take the stand.Civil War director Alex Garland: ‘Journalists are seen with contempt by a lot of people now. I really object to that’“Yeah, I would testify, absolutely. It’s a scam. That’s not a trial. That’s a scam.
That Cohen is a key witness in the case will weaken the prosecution. Trump has repeatedly defied a gag order issued in March by judge Juan Merchan. Loren Merchan, his daughter, works at Authentic Campaigns, whose portfolio includes campaign events and fundraising for several high-profile Democratic candidates, including work for the Biden/Harris campaign in 2020.
