Donald Trump had a successful day in court during his trial in New York City on Thursday. The lawyer representing Stormy Daniels, the adult film actress, testified that the $130,000 payment to Daniels was not hush money but a legitimate consideration payment. This undermines the charges against Trump by the Manhattan District Attorney.
The lawyer clarified that the payment was not intended to silence Daniels but was part of a legal agreement as consideration. He also mentioned that using the term “hush money” misrepresents the nature of the payment. According to the lawyer, the transaction was correctly labeled as “consideration” in legal terms.

Additionally, the lawyer’s testimony revealed that Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney, was disappointed about not receiving a job in the White House after Trump’s election in 2016. Cohen allegedly expressed his frustration to the lawyer, conveying feelings of betrayal despite his loyalty to Trump.
The judge overseeing the case may have made a critical error that could potentially lead to a reversal of the verdict in Trump’s favor. Legal experts have pointed out that the prosecution’s arguments, including allegations of federal election crimes, may not hold up in court and could be grounds for appeal.
Furthermore, the comparison to Harvey Weinstein’s overturned conviction raises questions about the validity of the charges against Trump. Fox News legal analysts have criticized the prosecution’s tactics, citing lack of substantial evidence and questionable legal strategies.
Overall, the developments in Trump’s trial indicate potential flaws in the case presented by the Manhattan District Attorney. Conservative voices view these revelations as favorable for Trump and question the credibility of the charges brought against him.
