Law Professor Shows How New Donald Trump Trial Tactic Could Backfire In 2 Big Ways
HuffPost
It “could actually be worse" for the former president, explained NYU law professor Ryan Goodman.
New York University law professor Ryan Goodman on Wednesday explained how an expected change in tactics from Donald Trump’s legal team in his hush money trial could ultimately backfire on the former president.
CNN’s Erin Burnett noted how Trump’s attorneys are reportedly considering conducting a more intense and thorough cross-examination of porn actor Stormy Daniels when the trial resumes Thursday.
Daniels’ alleged 2006 affair with Trump and his alleged payment to keep her quiet before the 2016 election is the focus of the criminal case. Trump is accused of falsifying business documents to cover up the payment. He denies the allegations.
Daniels’ testimony on Tuesday included intimate details of her alleged sexual encounter with the then-reality TV personality.
“I think it backfires, especially if by going after Stormy Daniels in order to protect Trump’s ‘reputation’” in the public eye, Goodman predicted of Trump’s defense team grilling his former paramour.
