Disastrous hearing for Trump.

- Tremendous rebuke of Trump’s legal defense for failing to object to Stormy’s details of the sexual encounter.
- DA took the opportunity to reveal *another* embarrassing detail they didn’t elicit
- Mistrial denied
- Trump still can’t bash Stormy

Trump's request for a mistrial has been DENIED.
Trump's request for a modification to the gag order has been DENIED.
ALSO: Trump's request to alter the climate in the courtroom, is DENIED. Trump's wish that Jake Tapper would stop sketching him, is DENIED. Trump's wish that…

Very bad day for Susan Necheles, with jury, judge, and probably Trump.

This⬇️

Strong language but hard if not impossible to disagree with ⬇️

Trump spoke outside court 20 minutes ago. Again - short, repetitive, making sure it's short and repetitive enough to avoid gaffes.
'Judge is corrupt. Judge is conflicted. I am innocent. This is a disgrace.'
Here's Trump a month from now: 'See Spot run.'
Two months: 'Fire bad!'

Trump own legal team admits he lied about the Daniels affair, which suggests that the jurors can’t believe any argument made by Trump because he has already lied to them.
THE TRUMP CROSS EXAMINATION OF STORMY DANIELS DESTROYS HIS OWN DEFENSE.
politicususa.com/2024/05/09/the…

Judge Merchan just had to explain to Donald Trump's attorneys that they're morons palmerreport.com/analysis/judge…

– and then not objecting during the testimony Again rough day for Necheles
4. While it slipped by almost without notice, the admission of Trump's admission in the civil suit with stormy that he reimbursed Michael Cohen for the money Cohen paid.

3. The end of the day rulings by Merchan, esp on the denial of the mist trial when he positively excoriated the defense, both for making it all about stormy's credibility in the opening – justifying the additional details

Overall stormy seemed more in control of the dynamic than Necheles.
2. Necheles also was over aggressive and even offensive in spots, including her suggestion that a porn star could possibly be cowled by a 60-year-old billionaire.

A very eventful day in court, dramatic at times, but quite a lot happened in addition.
1. Necheles's cross of Stormy, which was again ineffective. She landed a few jobs but needed a KO. And not only didn't she control the witness,

Tyler McBrien Merchan seems to agree with Conroy. He says that he's not just concerned w/ protecting witnesses like Daniels. He's concerned w/ protecting this proceeding. He can't take Blanche's word for it that Trump won't attack Daniels: 'Your client's track record speaks for itself.'

NEW: Trump lawyer Todd Blanche tells Judge Merchan the DA’s office has confirmed it will not call Karen McDougal as a witness.

Kaitlan Collins Trump has the perfect forum to respond to any witnesses who have testified in this case, that forum is the courtroom, more specifically, Blanche can call his client to the witness stand to refute any testimony by any witness.

Kaitlan Collins That's the maturity level you want out of someone who is going to be running the most powerful nation on Earth:

'Now that the witness has finished speaking can I go online and say mean things about her to make myself feel better?'

Katie Phang 🇺🇸💙🌊🌈🌺💐🌸🌷 R. Renée Miller ☮️ #VoteBlue💙 Does the defense NOT remember why prosecutors were given permission not to divulge the order in which they would call witnesses? BECAUSE TRUMP THREATENS AND INTIMIDATES PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH HIM‼️

Katie Phang Merchan 100% correct.
Blanche denying Donald J Mushroom had sex with Daniels and wanted to prohibit her from testifying about it--that kind of nonsense would only work in Loose Cannon's court
