New York judge scolds Trump attorney over not objecting to Stormy Daniels testimony

Judge Juan Merchan, who oversees former President Trump’s hush money trial, scolded his defense team Thursday for not objecting more during porn actor Stormy Daniels’s most salacious testimony. Merchan highlighted Daniels’ testimony regarding Trump’s comments about living in a trailer park before sex in 2006, which the judge found unnecessary and objected to. Merchan also noted surprise at no objection to Trump not wearing a condom.
