Washington Post: “In a case so closely tied to an alleged sexual liason, lawyers spent much of Monday arguing over what a jury can be told about other purported indiscretions in Trump’s life. Prosecutors wanted to tell the jury that he also had an affair with Karen McDougal, a Playboy model, at a time when his wife, Melania Trump, was pregnant with his child.”
“Trump lawyer Todd Blanche argued that would poison the jury against his client, for something that was not a crime and has no bearing on the charges he is facing.”
Said Blanche: “The risk of unfair prejudice is through the roof, from salacious details about a completely different situation.”
