Jean MartinDonald Trump’s legal team endeavors to subpoena Stormy Daniels at a Brooklyn event, triggering a legal battle amid the backdrop of Trump’s ongoing criminal trial.
Subpoena Encounter and Legal Fallout:
At a Brooklyn event, Trump’s process server attempted to serve Stormy Daniels a subpoena related to a documentary about her life involving Trump. Daniels refused to accept the papers, leading to a legal skirmish between the two parties.
Trump’s lawyers seek Judge Juan M. Merchan’s intervention to compel Daniels to comply with the subpoena, claiming it’s vital to Trump’s criminal trial. Daniels’ lawyer refutes receiving the subpoena, labeling it a harassment tactic and irrelevant to the trial.
Stormy Daniels Expected Testimony:
Daniels is slated to testify about a $130,000 payment she received in 2016 to keep silent about her alleged sexual encounter with Trump. Trump denies the encounter and any wrongdoing.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office plans to challenge Trump’s credibility by highlighting recent legal setbacks in case he testifies at trial.
Trump’s Legal Offensives:
Trump’s legal team aims to obtain documents related to the documentary “Stormy,” alleging it unfairly tarnished Trump’s image before the trial.
Judge Merchan previously blocked attempts to subpoena NBC Universal for documentary-related information, deeming it a “fishing expedition.”
