Stormy Daniels blasted Donald Trump on social media Thursday evening, only a few hours after she completed testifying in opposition to the previous president in his Manhattan hush-money trial.
“Real males reply to testimony by being sworn in and taking the stand in courtroom. Oh…wait. Nevermind,” she wrote in a publish on X — a taunting reference to Trump not testifying within the case and utilizing his personal social media accounts to rail in opposition to the proceedings.
The zinger got here after Trump’s attorneys unsuccessfully requested a mistrial based mostly on Daniels’ testimony.
If Trump had been to testify, he would open himself as much as cross-examination by prosecutors.
Earlier within the day, Daniels pushed again throughout a tense, hour-long cross-examination by Trump’s lawyer Susan Necheles.
The presumed Republican presidential nominee scowled and crossed his arms throughout her testimony.
Trump was charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying enterprise information for purportedly shopping for Daniels’ silence.
After Daniels’ testimony, Trump lawyer Todd Blanche argued unsuccessfully for a mistrial, claiming Daniels’ feedback had been “a canine whistle for rape” and went far past the scope of the fees Trump’s going through.
“He’s a corrupt judge, and he’s completely conflicted,” Trump informed reporters outdoors the courtroom.
