The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman Thursday, put his finger on the evolution of Donald TrumpThe secret money trial she says was reported to the judge Juan Merchan “Finally, I had just had enough” of the defense’s antics.
Haberman acknowledged on CNN that Trump’s legal team “really doesn’t like” Merchan, but said he actually “tried to be really fair on a number of points.”
One moment in particular stood out to Haberman.
That’s when Merchan warned Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanchein a sidebar, about Trump’s audible swearing.
Haberman remembers Merchan telling Blanche he didn’t want to embarrass Trump by saying his warning out loud. Mercan also urged Blanche to rein in Trump.
“That’s when I thought Merchan had finally had enough and made it clear that he didn’t think the arguments Blanche was making were in good faith,” Haberman said.
Haberman also suggested that Trump lawyer Susan Necheles’ incessant cross-examination of porn actor Stormy Daniels could be perceived by the jury as “harassment” and made to seem like “a losing prospect.” “.
Trump’s alleged falsification of business records to conceal a secret payment to Daniels before the 2016 election is the basis of the case. Daniels testified under oath that she slept with Trump in 2006. Trump denies the claims.
