Grab your popcorn because this is one you won’t want to miss.
Bill Maher, the comedian and political commentator, is not one to shy away from controversy. And this time, he’s brought back to light a 2018 interview with Stormy Daniels, that could become a problem for her and Bragg.
In a recent episode of his show “Real Time,” Maher called out Daniels, labeling her a “bad witness.” He even joked saying, “It’s Stormy or bust.” But why? Well, Maher replayed a clip from their 2018 conversation where Daniels was very clear that her alleged encounter with Trump back in July 2006 was entirely consensual. She emphasized that it wasn’t a MeToo case, stating she wasn’t assaulted or coerced in any way. She felt that people were trying to unfairly place her story within the MeToo movement to push their own agendas.
Another blow for the prosecution in the hush money trial. Stormy Daniels has given false testimony under oath.
She claimed Trump physically restrained her and drugged her but in 2018 said it was all consensual. https://t.co/ZegVI0DfMM

Fast forward to today, and Daniels’ story seems to have changed a bit in court. She described a power imbalance and a situation where she felt overwhelmed and wanted to leave. She even mentioned she was shaking and “blacked out” during the encounter. This is a stark contrast to her earlier statements.
During parts of her testimony, reporters noted that Trump was visibly upset, shaking his head and even cursing audibly. Trump has denied the affair and explained any payments made were purely to protect his family.
Maher pointed out these discrepancies in Daniels’ story, suggesting that her current narrative is filled with “MeToo buzzwords” and questioning the credibility of her testimony given her past assertions and profession.
What’s sort of astonishing is that Trump’s attorny’s never brought this to light during cross examination.
