A New York judge has ruled that Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels will be allowed to testify at former President Trump's hush-money trial, despite objections from Trump's defense team. The trial, initially set to begin next week, has been postponed to mid-April due to new evidence.
Judge Juan M. Merchan's decisions on Monday permit Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Brag to call Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal to testify about alleged payments orchestrated by Cohen and Trump to silence them regarding purported extramarital encounters with Trump. However, McDougal is restricted from discussing specific details of her reported affair unless deemed relevant by prosecutors.
