CNN Legal Analyst Spots ‘Disastrous’ Moment For Prosecutors In Donald Trump Trial
HuffPost
One admission from Stormy Daniels was "a big damn deal," said Elie Honig.
CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig on Tuesday explained why he believes the prosecution’s cross-examination of Stormy Daniels in Donald Trump’s hush money case didn’t go so well.
The former president is accused of falsifying documents to cover up a hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels. The transfer was made before the 2016 election and sought to stop Daniels from talking about an alleged earlier affair with the then-reality TV personality.
Daniels’ testimony on the stand about their alleged sexual encounter was “plausible,” acknowledged former assistant U.S. attorney Honig.
“It’s hard for me to believe that a juror heard that and thought, this is entirely made up,” he told a CNN panel discussing the latest developments of the trial. “There may well be some embellishments […] but I think it’s quite clear they had sex in 2006 in that hotel room,” he added.
The prosecution’s cross-examination of Daniels, though, went awry, he argued.
