Friday (May 3) was the final day of the third week of Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial. The lawyer who arranged hush-money payments for adult film star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, Keith Davidson, testified for the prosecution again on Thursday.
Here are the key takeaways from Day 11 of Donald Trump’s hush money trial.
Judge Juan Merchan addressed to the court over the false assertion made by Donald Trump that he was not permitted to testify. Merchan stated, “The order prohibiting extra-judicial statements does not prevent you from testifying in any way.”
A video statement that Trump made in reaction to the Access Hollywood scandal was shown by the prosecution. Trump declared in the video that he “never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretend to be someone that I’m not.” “I’ve said and done things I regret,” he said.
Hope Hicks was also summoned as a witness by the prosecution today. Throughout Hicks’ testimony, Trump did not crack a grin, not even when she complimented him on his diligence and multitasking skills.
