Stormy Daniels’s testimony on Tuesday, during the sham “hush money” trial against President Trump, was so disastrous that even far-left CNN had to acknowledge it.
CNN legal analyst Elie Honig remarked that while Daniels’ account of a sexual encounter with Trump in a hotel room in 2006 seemed “plausible,” her answers during cross-examination by Trump’s legal team raised doubts about her credibility.
Honig highlighted the moment when Daniels confessed that she hates President Trump, stating, “The cross-exam… boy. Her responses were disastrous!”
“When the witness hates the person whose liberty is at stake, that’s a big damn deal!”
“And she’s putting out tweets, fantasizing about him being in jail. That really undermines the credibility.”
Honig also brought up Daniels’ statement that she has no intention of paying Trump the court-ordered legal fees following the dismissal of her failed defamation case against him.
On social media, Daniels declared she “will go to jail” before she pays Trump a penny.
“The fact that she owes him $500,000 by order of a court, owes Donald Trump a half million dollars, and said, ‘I will never pay him. I will defy a court order,’ the defense is gonna say, ‘She’s willing to defy a court order. She’s not willing to respect an order from a judge. Why is she gonna respect this oath she took?’ So, I thought it went quite poorly on cross-exam.”

“Do you hate Donald Trump?” “Yes.” Of course, she does.
That’s a big deal. When the witness hates the person whose liberty is at stake, that’s a big damn deal!
