Both stormy and her lawyer at the time Keith Davidson at the time were asked about in court. They took a "definition of is" defense.

We're reviewing Stormy Daniels' signed, January 2018 denial statement that denies the romantic sexual affair ever happened.
Davidson explains—almost boasts—"this is a tactic that is often times used" by publicists and attorneys dealing with the press.
Davidson: "An extremely strict reading of this denial would technically be true. I think you have to go through it word by word. It would technically be true with an extremely fine reading."
He says we'd have to "hone in on the definition of romantic sexual affair. I don't think anyone had ever alleged that any interaction between she and Mr. Trump had been ROMANTIC."
Prosecutor: How about sexual?
Him: "That would be a sexual AND/OR romantic."
Prosecutor: "How is that technically true?"
Davidson: "I don't think anyone had ever alleged there was a RELATIONSHIP between Stormy Daniels and Donald Trump. A relationship is an ongoing interaction."
Trump's lawyers want to talk jury instructions Thursday. Daniels was warned about going beyond the question asked and she is back testifying.
Justice Merchan: With the consent of the defense Ms. Hoffinger has stepped out to give some instructions to her witness, to stay focused, and only answer what is asked.
Trump's lawyer Necheles: You made up this threat to explain why you never said you had sex with President Trump, right?
Stormy Daniels: No. I said it on a radio station in Tampa.
Necheles: You told Anderson Cooper you'd never said it before
Daniels: I was scared
You think that the judge will buy that Trump hired ineffective counsel?
Todd Blanche & Emil Bove: Lawyers Blanche and Bove, who are representing Trump at his trial, are both partners at Blanche Law, which FEC filings show has been paid approximately $4 million by Save America between April 2023—right after Trump was indicted in Manhattan—and March 31, the most recent date for which campaign finance data is available.
Susan Necheles: Trump attorney Necheles, an experienced defense attorney who previously represented the Trump Organization in its criminal tax fraud case, was paid approximately $1.7 million by Save America between April 2023 and March 31.
They have her testimony from previouse court cases.
It's pretty easy to check.
I will barf if I hear the fake name "Stormy Daniels" one more time! BARF ALERT!
She admitted they did not have an affair, but wanted a big payout anyway.
She had her 15 minutes of fame back in 2016. PLEASE JUST GO AWAY! YOU SKANK!
Well she did go away at one point. It is the demoncrats who are raising her corpse as some kind of evidence against Trump. She is a tool.
This would be over pretty quickly if she admitted that, can you provide more etails?
I remember but no sauce . . . maybe it was some other skank? HA!
Stormy denied it two times in January 2018.

must have been slutty daniels aka stuff anything in it clifford.......
That nasty whore was always on Twitter back then referring to President Trump’s “🍄”. Enough is enough.
The judge has rejected a mistrial, but there might be jury instructions that tell the jury to ignore some of what she said.
Yeah asking the jury to "ignore" something they've already heard is a recipe for disaster.
It would something if Stormy gets this case thrown out
Hopefully she part of the plan and says some outlandish shit on social media that gets the case thrown out.

That Twitter is a good thread of what is happening.
They are going after Stormy Daniels.
Trump's lawyer Necheles: You made up this threat to explain why you never said you had sex with President Trump, right? Stormy Daniels: No. I said it on a radio station in Tampa. Necheles: You told Anderson Cooper you'd never said it before Daniels: I was scared
He also told the defense that they should have objected at the time and not waited until afterwards to ask for a mistrial.
I thought of that too. Ineffective Counsel is something you can often appeal on
Like two different ways she can kill the case
She's back on the stand tomorrow.
You think that the judge will buy that Trump hired ineffective counsel?
I think it would be the appeals court and it's more about a mistake being made, than past reputation, I think
Of course. The Uni party was not this desperate in 2016!
