| | In 2024, Daniels was the start witness in the bizarre Trump "hush money" show case in the Manhattan court pursued by liberal District Attorney [[Alvin Bragg]]. The judge in the case, [[Juan Merchan]], has a long history of Democrat activism and has repeatedly placed [[gag order]]s on Trump as the trial continues but no such orders on witnesses against Trump. In her testimony, Daniels said she often has conversation with dead people. It is unclear if Daniel' testimony did much to sway the jurors, all of whom are believed to be partisan Democrats. A decision is expected in the trial later in May 2024. Thus far, no clear crime has been outlined in the case. Instead, Bragg and Merchan have allowed salacious testimony that could adversely impact the jury against Trump. Trump could be jailed at Riker's Island if there is a guilty verdict. Though he would probably prevail on appeal, vindication would not likely happen until after the 2024 presidential election. | | In 2024, Daniels was the start witness in the bizarre Trump "hush money" show case in the Manhattan court pursued by liberal District Attorney [[Alvin Bragg]].
