Internet weighs in as Bill Maher digs up Stormy Daniels’ old interview that undermines trial testimony

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bill Maher has thrown a curveball into the legal drama surrounding former President Donald Trump's trial over hush money payments.

The comedian dug up an interview from 2018 featuring adult film star Stormy Daniels, raising doubts about the consistency of her testimony.

Bill Maher questions Stormy Daniels' credibility amid discrepancies in testimony

During a recent episode of 'Real Time with Bill Maher', the host highlighted a clip from the 2018 interview where Daniels stated that her alleged encounter with Trump in 2006 was consensual and not part of the MeToo movement.

However, in her recent hush money trial testimony, Daniels described a different scenario, emphasizing a power imbalance and claiming to have "blacked out" during the encounter.

Maher pointed out the discrepancies between Daniels' past and present accounts of the encounter, questioning her credibility as a witness. He also scoffed at her description of blacking out, considering her profession as an adult film star.

"That’s not what she’s saying now," Maher remarked, contrasting her previous stance with her recent testimony.

“She’s talking about ‘he was bigger and blocking the way.’ It’s all the MeToo buzzwords," Maher exclaimed, highlighting the change in Daniels' narrative.

"She said, ‘There was an imbalance of power for sure.’ ‘My hands were shaking so hard.’ She said she blacked out. Blacked out? She’s a porn star! Do you really think she blacked out? A porn star is used to having sex with people she doesn’t [like]. I just think she’s not a good witness."

Bill Maher's analysis casts doubt on Stormy Daniels' testimony in Trump hush money trial

This revelation adds complexity to Daniels' allegations against Trump, especially since her former lawyer, Michael Avenatti, accused her of not being truthful and of attempting to extort Trump in 2016.

Maher, known for his vocal criticism of Trump, previously expressed optimism about the hush money trial's potential impact on the former president. However, he now suggests that this trial might be the least serious among the legal challenges Trump faces.

"This one, I got to say I was always against [it] because I thought of all the ones you’re bringing, this is the least serious," Maher said on his show two weeks ago. "Now I think Trump could lose."

Trump, on the other hand, vehemently denies any wrongdoing, including the allegations of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments, and has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.
