Stormy Daniels trolls Trump after testifying in hush money trial

Adult film actor Stormy Daniels trolled former President Trump and his legal team after she finished testifying in the New York hush money trial this week.

“Real men respond to testimony by being sworn in and taking the stand in court. Oh…wait.  Nevermind,” Daniels said in a Thursday post on the social platform X.

Daniels’s swipe came after Trump and his legal team complained about her testimony Tuesday and Thursday.

On Thursday, the former president’s team tried to amend Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order so he could respond to Daniels’s testimony. They argued that since she had completed her testimony, any possibility of her being intimated had passed.

His legal team also tried to have a mistrial declared, claiming her testimony revealed far too much about the alleged sexual encounter in 2006 with the former president.

Merchan denied both attempts.

Daniels’s shot at Trump on X was also an apparent reference to him potentially taking the stand in the case and confronting the claims she made.

Trump’s attorney Susan Necheles, the only woman on his legal team in the case, tried to take down Daniels’s credibility with the jury by portraying her as an unreliable witness and alleging she had changed her story about the alleged encounter. Necheles also went after Daniels for making a profit since alleging the affair with the former president.

Trump faces 34 felony charges in the New York case for falsifying business records, accusing him of illegally concealing payments his then-fixer, Michael Cohen, made in the late stages of his 2016 presidential campaign to keep Daniels quiet about the alleged extramarital affair from 2006. Trump denies the affair and any wrongdoing in the hush money scheme.
