Trump Attorney Criticizes Government's Questions In Stormy Daniels Case

Attorney Todd Blanche leaves after representing former U.S. President Donald Trump

During the ongoing legal proceedings involving Stormy Daniels and former President Donald Trump, Trump's attorney Todd Blanche has raised concerns about the questioning during the trial. Blanche has stated that Judge Juan Merchan indicated that the details of the alleged sexual encounter between Daniels and Trump were not necessary for the case, but the questions persisted.

Blanche argued that there was no valid reason for the government to inquire about the specifics of the alleged encounter. He emphasized that they were caught off guard by the line of questioning, stating, 'We didn't know these questions were coming.'
