Recent Developments in Former President Trump’s ‘Hush Money’ Case
Former US President Donald Trump’s requests for dismissal due to lack of jurisdiction and modification of the speech ban in the ‘hush money’ case were rejected by the court. It is known that in the ongoing case at the Manhattan Criminal Court in New York, Trump is being tried for the accusation of making a ‘hush money’ payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential elections.
Daniels’ Cross-Examination
During the trial, Daniels, the central figure in the case, was cross-examined. Trump’s lawyer Susan Necheles questioned Daniels’ motivation for not accepting the ‘hush money’ payment, asking why she tried to receive money instead of disclosing her story to the public. Daniels emphasized that she wants the truth to come out and denied the lawyer’s allegations.
Witness Testimonies
Madeline Westerhout, who was Trump’s personal assistant during his presidency, and Rebecca Manochio, the accountant of the Trump Organization, testified as witnesses in the trial. The witnesses shared details on how the checks related to Trump’s personal expenses were processed.
- Westerhout stated that the checks were returned to the Trump Organization.
- Manochio revealed that she signed the checks for Trump’s personal expenses.
Court Decisions and Trump’s Reaction
While Trump’s defense team’s requests for lack of jurisdiction and modification of the speech ban were rejected, Trump reiterated his criticisms of the court. Describing the situation in court as a ‘source of shame,’ Trump accused Judge Juan Merchan of bias.
