Former US attorney Stormy Daniels was attacked during her cross-examination at the New York business report trial, according to former federal prosecutor Paul Butler, who spoke on MSNBC’s” The ReidOut” on Thursday.
Discussing defense counsel Susan Necheles ‘ questions today in court, host Joy Reid said,” This kind of ego- stroking Trump and, you know, attacking Stormy Daniels because Trump ca n’t do it — that does n’t seem to me to be a defense”.
Butler said,” It’s a performance for the client. Therefore, a defence attorney’s job is to undermine a witness’s credibility for the prosecution. And in reality, Stormy Daniels had some bag. She claimed she would go to prison more than pay Trump a dime because she lost a libel event with him. The defence did not, however, concentrate on that during their combination. They behaved as though she was a fallen woman during a 1950s test in Mississippi.
He added,” There was this course aspect. She was treated like garbage by them. This former Vanity Fair model, who they did n’t treat in the same way as Hope Hicks last week, stands out in stark contrast to this. She was actually given child boots by them. And so, I do n’t believe the jury will find this to be very useful. In 2024, I do n’t believe classism and sexism will appear on a Manhattan jury.
