Social Media Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 In the upcoming criminal trial of former President Donald Trump, a familiar cast of characters is poised to take the witness stand, shedding light on a series of salacious events that have captivated public attention. Central to the trial are allegations surrounding Trump's affair with porn star Stormy Daniels, hush money payments made to Daniels, and the alleged falsification of records related to those payments. While much of this narrative is widely known, key figures involved have yet to testify publicly, making their potential testimony crucial to the proceedings. DAVID PECKER One such figure is David Pecker, the former CEO of American Media, Inc. (AMI), which published the National Enquirer during the time when it engaged in "catch and kill" schemes to suppress negative stories about Trump. Pecker's testimony is expected to provide insight into his efforts to assist Trump by brokering deals to silence Daniels and others. His account of conversations with Trump, Cohen, and individuals involved in the hush money arrangements could be pivotal in establishing Trump's alleged orchestration of the cover-up. MICHAEL COHEN Michael Cohen, Trump's former fixer, is another key witness expected to testify. Cohen's central role in arranging the payments to Daniels and his subsequent reimbursement by Trump form the crux of the prosecution's case. His testimony regarding conversations with Trump about the payments and their timing vis-a-vis the election could be particularly damning for the former president. STORMY DANIELS Stormy Daniels herself may also take the stand, offering her perspective on the alleged sexual encounter with Trump and her efforts to share her story publicly. Of particular interest to prosecutors is her account of Cohen's attempt to delay payment until after the election, suggesting Trump's motivation to influence the outcome. HOPE HICKS Hope Hicks, Trump's former campaign press secretary, could provide insight into Trump's efforts to suppress negative stories during the campaign, including the Daniels allegations. Her involvement in discussions about silencing Daniels underscores the potential significance of her testimony. KAREN MCDOUGAL AND DINO SAJUDIN Additionally, legal expert Bradley Smith is set to testify as an expert witness for the defense, potentially offering insights that could rebut the prosecution's arguments regarding campaign finance laws. BRADLEY SMITH As for Trump himself, the former president has indicated that he may testify, although the decision remains uncertain. His testimony, if given, could have significant implications for the trial's outcome, given his well-known credibility issues and propensity for grandiose statements. DONALD TRUMP Overall, the upcoming trial promises to offer a riveting examination of the events surrounding Trump's alleged hush money scheme, with key witnesses poised to provide crucial testimony that could shape the case's outcome. 15.04.24 Source 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Walker88 Posted April 15 Popular Post Share Posted April 15 (edited) One key to the trial is that trump has denied the affair, much less the hush money. He ought to tread carefully regarding the former, because if the prosecution has to produce testimony as to the fact of any affair, that will require calling both Stormy and Ms McDougal to offer "some kind" of proof of any dalliance. That would likely involve a description of trump's "supposedly" peculiar anatomy. In interviews, Stormy has used the phrase "funny mushroom shape" and the description "not quite freakishly small, but well below average". Should Stormy repeat such words under oath on the stand, the prosecution would also call Ms McDougal for corroboration...all, of course, in the interest of establishing the fact of the affairs. While law precludes trump's current wife from testifying, there is no law preventing any previous wife from being called to the stand, so Marla Maples would be fair game, if the prosecution was forced to prove the veracity of various affairs with Stormy and McDougal. While there are no cameras and sound equipment allowed in the courtroom, nothing prevents courtroom witnesses and media from detailing exactly what has been said. One suspects that trump will not like his physicality, or lack thereof, to be broadcast for all of magaland to hear. Part of his 'appeal' is that he portrays himself as some Alpha Male, but that gets knock back a bit, or significantly, if his cult learns he comes up short. Another thing that Stormy has mentioned, which may or may not be raised in the trial, is that during their assignation, trump insisted Stormy spank trump on his posterior "with a rolled up copy of a Forbes magazine that had trump on its cover, while he wore his tighty whiteys". That sounds.....kinky, and might not sit well with trump's so-called Christians, to whom he is currently trying to schlepp autographed copies of the Bible. So far, that demographic has either not believed an affair took place, or their peculiar moral code finds no fault with someone who dallies while his wife is home taking care of a new baby. Perhaps that changes. In Tweets and some public statements, trump---well known to give critics and adversaries nicknames---has called Ms Daniels "Horseface". Obviously she would be entitled to give him a nickname in return. Perhaps "Small Dick Donny" would be one such nickname, if she was intent on getting even. She probably has too much class for that, however. Edited April 15 by Walker88 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind, her remarks graphically describing Trump’s anatomy were obviously directed to an audience of one. I wonder if the person Daniels was addressing will be in court to support her husband? 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eric Loh Posted April 15 Popular Post Share Posted April 15 A key potential “ witness “ will be Trump. Will his lawyers call for him to testify. He boasted that he will testify and he reveal the truth. I hope he does and clear his name. LOL. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Imaginary history: at the age of 11 David Pecker started a list of things he would do when he turned 18. #1: change name. Obviously he misplaced the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
