Donald Trump is set to appear in Manhattan court on Friday as his hush money trial progresses into its 11th day. The trial has been marked by a flurry of witness testimonies, with lawyer Keith Davidson recently concluding nearly 6 1/2 hours of testimony over two days. Davidson detailed his negotiations with Michael Cohen and the National Enquirer on behalf of Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, acknowledging the potential impact on Trump's 2016 election win.
Forensic analyst Douglas Daul also testified about the contents of Cohen's cellphone, revealing that Cohen had almost 40,000 contacts saved on the device. Additionally, a contempt hearing was held regarding potential violations of a gag order by the former president, with prosecutors seeking fines rather than jail time for the alleged breaches.
