Donald Trump's hush money trial resumed inside the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse on Friday, a day after adult film star Stormy Daniels concluded nearly seven hours of testimony about the alleged sexual affair she had with the former president and his efforts to conceal it.
Madeleine Westerhout, a former executive assistant to Trump at the White House, finished her testimony after just under two hours on the stand across two days.
Other witnesses included Daniel Dixon, an AT&T compliance analyst; Jennie Tomalin, a Verizon senior analyst; and Jaden Jarmel-Schneider, a paralegal from the Manhattan district attorney's office. Another DA's office paralegal, Georgia Longstreet, was recalled to the stand after she testified last week about Trump's social media posts.
On Thursday, Judge Juan Merchan denied motions to declare a mistrial and loosen Trump's gag order. Earlier this week, Merchan found Trump in contempt of court for the 10th time for violating a gag order that prevents the former president from attacking witnesses or commenting on the jury. Merchan warned him that any further violations could result in jail time.
Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment to Daniels.

After all the political tumult of the last month, Thursday’s latest New York Times/Siena College poll is full of findings unlike any we’ve seen this cycle, with one exception: who leads the presidential race.
