Adult film star Stormy Daniels’ claim of not trying to get money from former President Donald Trump was “shattered” during her cross-examination in Manhattan Criminal Court on Friday, legal analyst and attorney Jonathan Turley said on Saturday.

Trump Should Be Acquitted in Manhattan
The simple fact is that DA Alvin Bragg can’t prove his case.
Let’s put aside all of the constitutional objections to Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of Donald Trump — objections premised on the shredding of both federal and state due-process guarantees. Trump ought to be acquitted for the simplest of reasons: Prosecutors can’t prove their case — neither the case the grand jury actually charged, 34 counts of felony business-records falsification, nor the case that elected progressive Democratic district attorney Alvin Bragg has imagined into existence, an uncharged conspiracy to steal the 2016 election by suppressing politically damaging information in violation of federal campaign-finance law.
Did Federal Agencies Plant Classified Documents To Frame Trump?
On May 7, Florida Judge Aileen Cannon postponed former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial after explosive information dropped late Friday afternoon. Several new pieces of evidence indicate it’s even possible federal employees planted classified documents to frame Trump.
Even if what happened isn’t that nefarious — although exactly that scenario has already been deployed against Trump several times — not only could the case be thrown out of court, but some federal lawyers may have risked their licenses for mishandling evidence.
Defiant Stormy Daniels spars with ex-prez’s lawyer, riveting jurors at Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial
A defiant Stormy Daniels batted back attempts by Donald Trump’s lawyers to poke holes in her story about a 2006 sex tryst with the ex-president — in a fiery clash that riveted jurors in Manhattan court Thursday.
The 12 Manhattanites serving on the jury at Trump’s hush money trial tried to keep a poker face during the often racy and entertaining testimony, looking back and forth at the attorney and the former porn star trading blows as if watching a tennis match.
FBI Confirms It’s Restarting Online Censorship Efforts Ahead Of 2024 Election
On Monday, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told reporters that federal agencies such as the FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) restarted discussions with Big Tech platforms. According to NextGov/FCW, this coordination will focus on “removing disinformation on their sites as the November presidential election nears.” Warner claimed these talks resumed in March, around the same time oral arguments in Murthy v. Missouri — which centers on the feds’ censorship efforts — were heard before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Behar: Trump Is a ‘Despicable Person‘ Who Can‘t Be Trusted with the Nuclear Codes
Joy Behar told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that former President Donald Trump was a “despicable person” who should not be trusted with the nuclear codes.
Discussing the details of adult film star Stormy Daniels’ testimony during the New York business record case, Behar said, “The major thing for me is he did not wear a condom. I’ll tell you why. First of all, this is a guy, it’s because of him they’re overthrowing Roe v. Wade all over the place.”
Trump’s appeal to have Fani Willis removed from case has been ACCEPTED
Former President Trump had made an appeal to the Georgia Court of Appeals to have the disgraced Fani Willis removed from her case against him after the lower judge overseeing the case had denied his request.
MSNBC Airs Threat To Possible Trump Veeps: You Could End Up Being Executed!
The liberal media isn’t waiting for Donald Trump to announce his running mate before going on the attack. MSNBC has aired a pre-emptive strike on all the potential VP candidates. And not only did it contain a vitriolic denunciation of them, but it also included a not-so-veiled threat of the most ominous sort.
Stormy Daniels takes the stand
Stormy Daniels has taken the stand in Donald Trump’s hush money trial in a bombshell moment.
The porn star is testifying about the alleged encounter they had in a hotel room when they met at a celebrity golf tournament in 2006.
The 77-year-old defendant has denied all claims he had a sexual relationship with Daniels.
The Horror!
A few weeks ago, I had dinner with a few couples, friends of friends, all American. All were well-educated and successful in careers.
They seemed great! On the surface. For like an hour.
But slowly, over a few drinks, they began to let slip their true MAGA natures….— Michelle Kosinski (@MichLKosinski) May 5, 2024

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said on this week’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show” that the Department of Justice should investigate “right-wing organizations” who supported former President Donald Trump “training up in the hill” for a civil war.
Judge Merchan Fines Trump Again, Threatens Him With Jail Time
Judge Juan Merchan, the Biden-donor judge presiding over Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York City, announced on Monday his intention to once again hold Trump in contempt of court for the tenth time for exercising his First Amendment rights by violating his gag order.

Why the Establishment hates Donald Trump
Like many commentators who have struggled to understand the reasons for the inveterate hatred of Donald Trump among the swank people who actually run the country, I have generally come up with two answers.
The first is aesthetic.
Oh, Right, the Business Records
Yesterday, rounding out the Trump trial’s second week was testimony from Hope Hicks, former Trump advisor and campaign communications director — yet another trusted aide with whom the former president seems to have had a falling out (hers stemming from disillusionment over the “stop the steal” scheme and the Capitol riot). Hicks still has obvious affection for the Trump family and her old boss, and at times became teary. Testifying in such circumstances is an ordeal.
The insanity at the heart of the Trump trial
THE INSANITY AT THE HEART OF THE TRUMP TRIAL. Perhaps the weirdest, and by far the most unjust, thing about former President Donald Trump’s trial in New York is that we do not know precisely what crime Trump is charged with committing. We’re in the middle of the trial, with Trump facing a maximum of more than 100 years in prison, and we don’t even know what the charges are! It’s a surreal situation.
