    The judge made a good point: Trump never denied the sex happened. If they had, he could have struck that part of her testimony. But they never denied it happened, have never taken any legal action to stop her from saying it, and didn’t bother raising any questions about it on cross-examination.

    It’s like Trump’s lawyers expect the judge to do their job for them.

      How the fuck does that even work?

      Moron: “Your honor, I didn’t rob that bank.”

      Witness: “I’m the bank teller and I saw him rob the bank”

      Paid Liar: “OBJECTION! My client said he didn’t do it, strike that from the record!”

      Judge: “Ok. Guess he didn’t do it.”

        The trial isn’t about Trump having sex or paying for sex, but violating finance laws. If they had denied the sex then it wouldn’t be relevant to the case.
