Reporting from inside the courthouse
When I’ve seen Susan Necheles, Trump's lawyer, in the past, she has dropped aggressive characterizations into her questioning, all but daring prosecutors to object. She did it just now, mentioning what she characterized as Stormy Daniels’s “frivolous litigation against President Trump.” Prosecutors objected, as could have been expected, and Necheles immediately had a more acceptable substitute phrase on hand, referring instead to Daniels’s lawsuits as “cases you brought that were dismissed.”
That is great reporting by Brom and the kind of sleazy thing that sleazy lawyers do by Necheles. Merchan rwcognizes it.
