"Judge Allows Testimony of Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen in Trump's Hush Money Trial"
Judge Juan Merchan has ruled that Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen can testify in Donald Trump's hush money trial, rejecting Trump's attempts to block their testimony. The trial, related to hush money payments to Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, could rely on Cohen's testimony that Trump authorized false payments to Daniels. The judge also agreed to delay jury selection by 30 days due to a flood of documents received by prosecutors. Additionally, the judge rejected Trump's attempts to prevent prosecutors from arguing that the scheme sought to influence the 2016 election and ruled that jurors cannot watch the Access Hollywood tape but prosecutors can discuss its contents.
