The trial of former President Donald Trump continues with multiple witnesses testifying, including Daniel Dixon, an ATT compliance analyst who helps analyze query records for law enforcement. Former White House executive assistant Madeleine Westerhout testified that Trump was upset about the Stormy Daniels story and sometimes signed checks without reviewing them. Trump’s attorney sought to establish why checks and personal mail for Trump and his family were sent to aides’ homes. The judge denied Trump’s defense from entering a document with his campaign travel schedule into evidence.
During a break in the trial, Trump spoke to cameras outside the courtroom, calling the trial a disgrace and pointing out what he perceived as flaws in the judicial process. The trial included testimony from multiple witnesses, with a focus on the Stormy Daniels hush money case and Trump’s office habits. Andrew Giuliani, son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, was seen at the courthouse, providing commentary on the trial via social media and interviews. Trump himself was present in court for Day 15 of the trial.
Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, is expected to testify in the trial about his role in paying Stormy Daniels hush money during the 2016 presidential campaign. The trial resumed with Daniels’ testimony being scrutinized, as Trump’s defense tried to question her credibility and motives for accepting payment. Testimony also focused on Trump’s organizational habits, his involvement in handling checks, and the accuracy of sections of a book published by him.
The trial has continued with a former aide recalling Trump’s reactions to the Stormy Daniels story and his habits of signing checks without review.
