Daniels Tells Trump Defense Lawyer: "You’re Putting Words in My Mouth"

Amid questioning over the financial arrangements for her documentary, Stormy Daniels accused Trump defense lawyer Susan Necheles of “trying to trick me into saying something that’s not entirely true,” Michael R. Sisak reported for the Associated Press (AP).

At another point, Daniels demanded the defense lawyer back up her claim about something she claimed Daniels had said regarding Trump’s arrest. “Show me where I said I’d be instrumental in putting President Trump in jail,” the witness said, steady and unflustered.

After Necheles showed Daniels a social media post she’d made that did not reflect those precise words, Daniels replied: “I don’t see the ‘instrumental’ or ‘jail.’ You’re putting words in my mouth,” and the defense team groaned, as the witness against Donald Trump stood her ground and flubbed the attempts of Necheles to corner her.
