Former President Trump's defense attorneys are seeking a mistrial following the testimony of pornographic actress Stormy Daniels during the ongoing trial. The defense team, led by attorney Todd Blanche, raised concerns about the prejudicial nature of Daniels' testimony on Tuesday morning.
During a court session after lunch, Blanche informed Judge Juan Merchan that Daniels' testimony had been inflammatory and potentially damaging to their case. However, Judge Merchan ruled against declaring a mistrial, stating that he had been actively managing the situation and had even objected to some of Daniels' testimony himself.
