In a recent development in the trial involving former President Donald Trump, Judge Juan Merchan has reaffirmed his decision to prohibit prosecutors from showing the infamous 'Access Hollywood' tape to the jury. The video, in which Trump is heard making lewd comments about women, will not be presented as evidence due to its prejudicial nature, according to Merchan.
Furthermore, the judge has also disallowed the introduction of sexual assault allegations against Trump that emerged following the release of the 'Access Hollywood' tape. Merchan deemed these allegations as too prejudicial and lacking substantial evidence, referring to them as mere rumors at this point. However, tapes in which Trump denies these allegations at rallies will be permitted in court.
