During the 15th day of the criminal trial N.Y. v. Trump, the defense team representing former President Trump motioned for a mistrial. This request came after a series of events involving the testimony of a key witness, which the defense argued was prejudicial to the case.
Trump's defense attorney, Todd Blanche, initially requested a mistrial on Tuesday following the testimony of the witness, who was described as difficult to control. Blanche expressed concerns that much of the witness's testimony was deemed unnecessary and irrelevant to the charges at hand.
