About this episode
In an excerpt from a new episode of the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss the testimony by adult film star Stormy Daniels during former President Donald Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial. How important is her testimony for the prosecution’s case? And how might Trump’s attorneys undercut her credibility on cross-examination?
In the full episode, Preet and Joyce further discuss Trump’s trial, including testimony by former Trump campaign press secretary Hope Hicks, former Trump Organization controller Jeffrey McConney, and Trump Organization accounting department employee Deborah Tarasoff. They also discuss Judge Merchan’s decision to fine Trump $1,000 for another gag order violation and his warning that future violations could result in jail time.
