Manhattan Madness: The New York Trump Trial (part 3)

May 30, 2024 is a day that will live in infamy! Donald Trump became the first former President of the United States to be brought to court on felony charges and have a jury reach a verdict of guilty. Not to mention that this happened while he is currently running for President again and is the highest polling candidate.

The ripple effects of this historical day will be felt indefinitely. The debates will rage over whether or not this was justice or merely political lawfare.

In part 3, we cover the start of the trial and all attempts to lift the gag order, recuse Judge Merchan, delay the trial, or move it to another venue were shot down.

We look at the prosecution's witness testimonies, especially the star witnesses Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen.
