Stormy Drama, Trump Scorches Jury, Judge Threatens Trump...Analysis: David Cay Johnston 5/7/24

Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who allegedly had an affair with former President Donald Trump, takes the stand in his trial, offering gripping testimony that sheds light on their relationship and the events surrounding it. Daniels recounts details of their alleged affair, including intimate encounters and hush money payments made to her to keep silent about it. Her testimony provides a firsthand account of a scandal that has long shadowed Trump's presidency, adding a dramatic twist to the legal proceedings and capturing the attention of the public and media alike. As she faces questioning from both prosecution and defense attorneys, Daniels is composed and steadfast in her assertions, leaving a lasting impression on the courtroom and potentially impacting the outcome of the trial.The judge in Donald Trump‘s criminal hush money trial seems to be losing patience with his blatant disregard for the rules of the court. Trump broke the gag order, forbidding him from attacking those involved in those involved in the trial. For the second time, he was found to be in contempt of court and fined. This time, the judge spoke directly to Trump and admonished him for a direct attack on the rule of law. Judge Juan Merchan told Trump further violations may mean some time behind bars! We will talk about all things Trump trial and more with Pulitzer prize-winning author and journalist David Cay Johnston. A Law & Disorder includes a church fight and more whistleblowers coming forward at Boeing. The Mark Thompson Show 5/7/24 Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!
