As the opening remarks for former President Donald Trump's criminal trial near, there has been heavy speculation about who might be called to the witness stand in Manhattan.The hush money payment case, in which Trump is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, involves several high-profile figures, including adult film actress Stormy Daniels , former Trump fixer Michael Cohen, and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
'In fact, she's the putative victim in the illicit sex part of the story,' he said.The case in Manhattan centers on an alleged $130,000 hush money payment that Cohen paid Clifford to keep her alleged affair with Trump a secret in the lead-up to the 2016 election. Prosecutors claim Trump falsified business records by paying Cohen $420,000 as reimbursement for that payment and other expenses but labeling it as a legal fee.
