    The 47-page motion attacks the witnesses’ credibility at length, casting Cohen as a “liar” and suggesting Daniels would offer “false” and “salacious” testimony. Trump seeks to block Stormy Daniels, Michael Cohen from testifying at NY hush money trial – The Hill

    Former President Donald Trump is intensifying efforts to shape the narrative surrounding the “hush money” case as the trial, scheduled for March 25, approaches. The case revolves around accusations that Trump manipulated business records to conceal $130,000 in payments to adult film actress Stephanie Clifford, professionally known as Stormy Daniels, in exchange for her silence regarding alleged affairs. Trump vehemently denies any wrongdoing, dismissing the case as a politically motivated attempt to hinder his potential 2024 presidential bid.

    In a 47-page motion filed on Monday, Trump has requested pretrial rulings to bar specific evidence and witness testimonies that he claims could be exploited by opponents to interfere in the upcoming election. Among his requests is the exclusion of testimony from his former personal attorney Michael Cohen, who admitted to lying to Congress.

    Trump’s attorney, Todd Blanche, challenges the credibility of witnesses, branding Cohen a “liar” and suggesting Clifford might provide “false” testimony. Blanche asserts that it is troubling and ethically questionable for prosecutors to rely on Cohen, whom he labels a “serial liar,” to present testimony.

    The motion also seeks to render testimony from Clifford inadmissible, with Blanche arguing that she has publicly expressed an intent to offer “false, salacious, and unduly prejudicial testimony” against Trump. Clifford, who wrote a tell-all memoir detailing her alleged encounter with Trump in 2006, has been vocal about her willingness to testify against him.

    Another significant request is to prevent prosecutors from characterizing the hush money payments as an attempt by Trump to “improperly influence” the 2016 election. Blanche argues that such an interpretation lacks legal basis and constitutes a distortion of the election system and the First Amendment.

    The motion further aims to exclude the Access Hollywood recording, describing it as containing “inflammatory and unduly prejudicial evidence” unrelated to the case. Additionally, Trump seeks to prevent the introduction of nearly 100 statements attributed to him by prosecutors, deeming them largely irrelevant, stale, and cumulative.

    The backdrop to this legal battle involves Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment of Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide payments to Clifford. Michael Cohen has claimed that he made payments to Clifford through a shell company, which was later reimbursed by Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, recorded as legal expenses. Cohen’s guilty plea in 2018 implicated Trump in violating campaign finance laws.

    Trump’s defense challenges the validity of elevating the misdemeanor charge of falsifying records to a felony, as Bragg has done. Legal experts have questioned the legal basis for this elevation, suggesting potential challenges to the felony charge.

    In response to these legal maneuvers, prosecutors have requested a gag order on Trump, aiming to restrict his public statements about the case. The courtroom drama unfolds against the backdrop of Trump’s potential 2024 presidential campaign, with both sides engaging in strategic moves to shape public perception and legal proceedings in their favor. As the trial date approaches, the hush money case remains a focal point, intertwining legal intricacies with the broader political landscape.

    We all know the Democrats are not stopping with all of their witch trials, coordinated at the DOJ and White House. Which is illegal by the way. When Trump gets into the White House, action must be taken so this kind of lawfare is never tried again. The United State is currently in banana republic status. If November is not a free and fair election, all bets are off on everything, including a real revolution in some form.

    Major Points Discussed:

    • Former President Donald Trump seeks pretrial rulings in the “hush money” case ahead of the March 25 trial, alleging opponents aim to exploit evidence and testimonies to impact his potential 2024 presidential campaign.
    • The case involves accusations that Trump manipulated business records to conceal $130,000 in payments to adult film actress Stephanie Clifford (Stormy Daniels) in exchange for her silence on alleged affairs, which Trump vehemently denies.
    • Trump’s legal motion aims to block testimony from key figures, including his former personal attorney Michael Cohen, whom he labels a “liar,” and Clifford, whom he accuses of intending to provide “false” testimony.
    • The defense challenges prosecutors’ attempts to characterize hush money payments as an improper influence on the 2016 election, labeling it a distortion of the law and the First Amendment.
    • The broader context includes Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment of Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records, with legal experts questioning the validity of elevating the charge to a felony and prosecutors requesting a gag order on Trump’s public statements about the case.
