Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan on Monday denied disgraced former President Trump’s motion to block his former premature ejaculation partner/pornstar Stormy Daniels and ex-lawyer Michael Cohen from taking the stand in his upcoming trial on charges of committing fraud by secretly paying Daniels $130,000 in hush money to stay quiet starting just days before his win in the 2016 election.
In the same order Merchan also prohibited the fat fuck from arguing any of his “victimhood” song and dance in front of jury, writing “Defendant is precluded from: (1) Arguing that the Indictment is novel, unusual, or unprecedented, (2) Making arguments about pre-indictment delay, (3) Making arguments and introducing evidence regarding the purported motivations or personal and professional backgrounds of the District Attorney, or counsel for the People in this case, (4) Making arguments and introducing evidence regarding any potential punishment or other consequences to the Defendant as a result of these proceedings, (5) Making arguments or introducing evidence regarding the alleged bias of the court and court staff, and (6) Arguing or introducing evidence regarding Pomerantz’s purported views on the instant prosecution as expressed in his book.”
“These issues are not relevant and will only serve to confuse or mislead the jury. Indeed, many of these issues were already decided in this Court’s February 15, 2024, Omnibus Decision. The Court also reiterates that this decision does not limit either side’s ability to impeach witnesses during cross-examination or to argue to the Court, at sidebar, that opposing counsel has ‘opened the door’ to the introduction of previously precluded evidence,” Merchan continued.
