Maggie HabermanReporting from inside the courthouse

Just to remind readers, as Susan Necheles seeks to challenge Stormy Daniels's story by describing her encounter with Trump as a “supposed” meeting at a hotel, we saw evidence on screen that Daniels had not just Trump’s bodyguard, Keith Schiller, listed in her phone, but his gatekeeper, Rhona Graff.

And Graff (or another woman at Trump org.) said she saw Stormy in the lobby at Trump Tower and that she, the Trump employee, also had contacts for Stormy in her log.

The prosecution needs to call Schiller. Stormy said last week he approached her in Vegas. Either that testimony was not true or Schiller denied it to the D.A. when/if they asked him.
