An attorney for Stormy Daniels says the pornography actress is likely to take the witness stand in the New York v. Trump trial on Tuesday.
Attorney Clark Brewster made the indication to the Associated Press before trial proceedings began. Former President Trump also suggested Tuesday’s witness would be more high profile, saying on social media that that he was “recently told” who the witness would be on Tuesday and complained he should’ve been given more notice.
Daniels is central to the prosecution’s case. They argue Trump covered up hush money payments to Daniels ahead of the 2016 election in an effort to quash news of an affair.
Trump allegedly paid Daniels $130,000 through his attorney, former lawyer Michael Cohen. Cohen is also expected to testify later on in the trial.
Trump faces 34 counts of falsifying business records. He has pleaded not guilty.
