Judge Denies Trump’s Request for Mistrial

New York Times: “The judge has declined to declare a mistrial. While he acknowledged that some of the evidence that came in was more than he would have liked — ‘better left unsaid,’ is how he put it several times — he takes as much issue with the defense as with the prosecution.”

“This must come as a major relief for prosecutors. And I can imagine that they might wish the jury was in the room right now. Justice Merchan reminds the defense that ‘the remedy is on cross-examination,’ meaning that the defense will be able to make its own case as it questions Stormy Daniels.”
