Judge Juan Merchán brutally berated Donald Trump’s defense attorneys in front of the former president Thursday afternoon when he denied their motion for a mistrial in the hush money case.
It was the second mistrial motion filed by the defense this week following porn star Stormy Daniels’ scandalous testimony about her alleged sexual encounter with Trump.
In his motion for a mistrial, attorney Todd Blanche called Stormy Daniels’ testimony “extraordinarily prejudicial” and noted that even the judge had agreed that some of the testimony was “unnecessary.”
“It’s almost unbelievable that we’re here for a records case and the government is asking about an incident that occurred in 2006,” Blanche argued, referring to Daniels’ testimony Tuesday about rolling up a magazine and whipping Trump with it for nearly 20 years. back.
