Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley criticized Judge Juan Merchan’s handling of Stormy Daniels’ testimony at former President Donald Trump’s New York business records trial.
Turley expressed concern over the judge’s lack of control in the courtroom, noting the excessive objections from the defense and the unnecessary focus on salacious details.
Turley believed that the prosecutors were using the testimony for punitive and political purposes, and that the judge should have limited the scope of questioning to avoid this situation.
Overall, Turley felt that the judge’s handling of the case led to a loss of control in the courtroom.
