Trump Loses Bid to Block Testimony from Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels
Trump failed to block Cohen and Daniels' testimony at his trial for hush money charges before the 2016 election. The trial's delay was due to evidence disclosure dispute.
In a recent legal development, Donald Trump faces a setback in his upcoming trial as he loses a motion to prevent testimony from key witnesses. The trial revolves around allegations of improper payments made to a porn star and a subsequent cover-up.
Blocked Testimony
Justice Juan Merchan denied Trump's request to block testimony from Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels. Cohen, Trump's former lawyer, and fixer, and Daniels, also known as Stephanie Clifford, are expected to provide crucial testimony in the trial.
Allegations and Denials
Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal reimbursements to Cohen regarding the payment made to Daniels. This payment was intended to secure her silence about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump, which he denies.
Trial Delayed
Originally set for March 25, the trial has been postponed for at least a month due to a dispute over evidence disclosure, further prolonging the legal battle for Trump.
The outcome of this trial is eagerly anticipated, as it has the potential to significantly impact Trump's legal and political future.
