In a shocking turn of events during the Stormy Daniels trial, Donald Trump's attorney, Susan Necheles, accidentally played the wrong audio recording while conducting cross-examination on Thursday. The trial revolves around hush-money allegations against the former president.
After approximately two-and-a-half hours of testimony on Thursday, Daniels, the adult film actor at the center of the case, had completed her time on the stand. However, Necheles's mishap momentarily disrupted the proceedings.
According to reports from inside the courtroom, Necheles played an incorrect tape during the cross-examination, involving a conversation between Daniels' former lawyer, Keith Davidson, and Michael Cohen. This prompted Judge Juan Merchan to caution Necheles to refer to the transcript before playing the tape.
The tape in question featured Davidson questioning Cohen about the alleged $130,000 payment and whether it came from Trump. Davidson also mentioned his curiosity about any conversations Cohen had with Trump regarding the payment. However, prosecutors objected to the playing of the tape, and the objection was sustained by Judge Merchan.
Necheles promptly apologized to the judge and explained that she had played the wrong tape. She then proceeded to present another recording, where Cohen and Davidson discussed Daniels' alleged frustration over not receiving money quickly leading up to the 2016 presidential election.
During the cross-examination, Necheles asked Daniels various questions related to her career in adult films and her involvement in directing. Necheles suggested that Daniels was skilled at making "phony stories about sex" appear "real." However, Daniels refuted this claim and stated that the experiences depicted in her films were authentic, just like what transpired between her and Trump.
When asked whether she fabricated her story about Trump, Daniels responded that she would have written a "better" story. This remark signifies her continued assertion that her interactions with Trump were not fictionalized.
The trial continues as both sides present their case, with Daniels' testimony playing a crucial role in shedding light on the alleged hush money and the relationship between the former president and the adult film star.
The incident surrounding the wrong audio recording underscores the high stakes and intense scrutiny surrounding the courtroom proceedings, making it a significant development in the trial.
