Witness testimony resumes as Trump's hush money trial enters 15th day
When witness testimony in Donald Trump's election interference trial resumes on Friday, it will cap a feverish week that saw adult film actor Stormy Daniels take the stand, two failed attempts by the defense to have a mistrial declared, gag order sanctions, and more.
Daniels' testimony over two days riveted jurors and drew upset from defense attorneys who decried it on Thursday as prejudicial and overly gratuitous. The prosecution defended its questioning and Daniels' details of the alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump and ultimately, the judge denied the requests for a mistrial—chiding the defense for not objecting more during testimony.
Trump has denied the two ever had sex.
Several others took the stand after Daniels, including a former Trump Organization executive assistant and HarperCollins Publishing executive.
