During a recent hush money legal procedure, the representatives of the ex-president, Donald Trump, put forth two appeals. Judge Juan Merchan, however, refused to grant both. One of the appeals was for declaring a mistrial, which had been previously turned down. The second appeal was to diminish the gag order so that Trump could make public comments concerning adult movie performer and key witness Stormy Daniels subsequent to her giving evidence. Judge Merchan equally refused this plea.

Throughout the trial, Daniels defended herself against allegations of inconsistency in her narrative brought forth by Trump’s legal team. Her claims of an alleged intimate encounter with Trump play a central role within the case. Trump’s legal counsel, Todd Blanche, made an argument for a mistrial suggesting that portions of her evidence, particularly the details referring to the supposed intimate encounter, bore no relation to the charges in question. Blanche argued that her testimony was causing harm.

However, Judge Merchan dismissed the defense's assertion that Daniels' courtroom testimony was at odds with her prior accounts. Axios reported that Merchan brought up specific areas of concern with the defense's arguments, including their denial of the alleged intimate encounter Daniels spoke about instead of rebutting the accusations of forging business records.

'The argument as presented in my view allows the prosecution to do what is necessary to validate her narrative and to provide supporting evidence. Hence, your plea for a mistrial is denied,' was Judge Merchan's retort. Subsequently, Trump’s legal representatives asked the court to trim down the gag order enabling Trump to express his views publicly about the case after Daniels had testified.
