Trump's inner circle is divided on whether he should risk jail time by criticizing Daniels. Trump “should fight it even if it means jail,” says Steve Bannon.
Trumps lawyers get a chance to question her in order to make the jury question whether her testimony is truthful or not. They’re likely going to drag out her entire life story as a porn star to try to make her look bad.
Then the prosecution gets to redirect.
Having sat on a jury myself I can tell you that the whole process is very time consuming. Lawyers raise objections, stopping everything and requiring the judge to make a ruling. Occasionally an objection or something else can result in a sidebar where the judge & lawyers huddle to discuss details before the judge rules on something. And there are times the jury may be removed from the courtroom so some issue can be discussed/argued at length, after which the jury is brought back in and the judge then might explain why they were removed and the results of their discussion.

It’s gonna get cringey and gross. They’ll ask how many men she’s had sexual relationships with, how many of those were in exchange for money (conflating porn with prostitution), asking what she had to gain from speaking out, what she did with the hypothetical money, asking whether paid NDAs are illegal or even abnormal, etc. They’re gonna try to harm her character and then distract from the actual crime which was that trump used campaign funds for this and didn’t report it as such. She’s gonna get dragged through the mud like Monica Lewinsky. She’s brave for going through with this to make sure he faces some amount of accountability. It would be so easy for her to just give up rather than become targeted for speaking up. She’s far from perfect, but we should all admire her tenacity.

Is Stormy Daniels more brave than trump?
All day long. Always has been.
