Stormy Daniels, a porn star who claims to have had an affair with Donald Trump, is scheduled to testify as a witness in Trump’s hush money trial on Tuesday. The trial stems from allegations that Trump paid Daniels $130,000 in hush money to keep her quiet about the alleged affair during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump’s defense team has argued that Daniels’ testimony is irrelevant to the charges against Trump, which include falsifying business records. However, prosecutors say that Daniels’ testimony will show that Trump was aware of and involved in the hush money payments.
The trial is expected to last for two weeks, and Daniels’ testimony is likely to be a key moment in the case. If Daniels’ testimony is credible, it could damage Trump’s defense and lead to a conviction. However, if Trump’s defense team is able to discredit Daniels, it could help Trump avoid conviction.
The outcome of the trial could have a significant impact on Trump’s political future. If Trump is convicted, he could face jail time and be barred from running for office again. However, if Trump is acquitted, it could clear the way for him to run for president again in 2024.
The trial is being closely watched by both supporters and opponents of Trump. Supporters of Trump believe that the trial is a politically motivated witch hunt, while opponents believe that the trial is an important step in holding Trump accountable for his actions.
The trial is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, October 18, 2022, in Manhattan.
