Stormy Daniels is expected to appear at Trump's hush money trial on Tuesday

NEW YORK (AP) — An attorney for Stormy Daniels says the porn actor is expected to appear as a witness in Donald Trump's hush money trial on Tuesday.

Clark Brewster tells The Associated Press that Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is “likely” to be called as a witness in the trial on Tuesday.

Trump said earlier Tuesday that he was “recently told” who the witness would be on Tuesday and complained he should’ve been given more notice.

In the final weeks of Trump's 2016 Republican presidential campaign, his then-lawyer and personal fixer, Michael Cohen, paid Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about what she says was an awkward and unexpected sexual encounter with Trump at a celebrity golf outing in Lake Tahoe in July 2006. Trump denies having sex with Daniels.

and given that May 28th is 3 weeks away, that wouldn't be something that might prompt the whining about being "given more notice" (although he whines about everything).

and with them off on Wednesdays, it sounds like they may try to do Stormy this week and then Karen Mcdougal, and finish up with Cohen last, along with closing arguments. I don't know if Avenatti or even Weisselberg (both in prison) will end up appearing as a sidenote.

We'll be lucky that what became the first criminal indictments would be the first to actually conclude, even with pundits pooh-poohing the relevance of it.

Was talking about how the girls flirted with him. Makes one wonder why he had to pay.

Last night he was talking about how ugly Jack Smith was and evil..

He is seething with rage sitting at the tria.

3. "Trump complained..." Of course. He is a whiner.

He always complains. He always whines. The GOP is the Party of Whiners.

It's so unmanly,
as even Republicans themselves must acknowledge
late at night in the deepest darkness.

She's already talked about the appearance of his personal equipment. The only way he can counter that is to drop his Depends in court and let the jury observe the evidence for themselves.

All he's doing here is flailing because he knows how Stormy will tell the truth about him.
