Some unexpected D-list stars were evoked in testimony during the sixth day of testimony in former President Trump‘s alleged “hush money” trial on Thursday.
Adult film actress Stormy Daniels, internet influencer Tila Tequila, actor Charlie Sheen and wrestler Hulk Hogan were among those mentioned as the trial moves forward. Witness and former lawyer to Daniels, Keith Davidson, was explaining the nature of tabloid journalism.
Trump’s criminal case is centered on allegations of falsified business transactions to cover for “hush money” paid to Daniels during the 2016 presidential race to conceal an alleged affair.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
Davidson told the court about his interactions with former Trump “fixer” Michael Cohen.
A forensic analyst in the Manhattan district attorney’s office later detailed how he examined two of Cohen’s phones.
Analyst Doug Daus testified that one of Cohen’s phones had 39,745 contacts saved, which Daus said “is unusual.” Asked about the average user’s number:
“Maybe hundreds,” Daus said.
“Maybe thousands?” prosecutor Chris Conroy asked.
“Maybe thousands, at the most,” Daus replied.
