Internet speculates Fox News host Laura Ingraham made an admission of guilt for Trump in hush money case

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Laura Ingraham acknowledged a potentially unfavorable development for Donald Trump in his ongoing hush money trial, as reported by viewers who watched her Fox News segment on Monday, April 15.

Ingraham attempted to undermine the credibility of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Judge Juan Merchan, and star witness Michael Cohen, a former Trump attorney.

However, she seemed to make a concession about the former president, who has consistently denied having any involvement with Daniels.

"Stormy Daniels thought she had leverage over Trump back in 2016 and she used that leverage to extract some money," stated Ingraham, adding, "And like other politicians who had made embarrassing mistakes, Donald Trump was apparently trying to get that episode behind him." 

Trump’s hush money trial, the first criminal prosecution of a former US president, commenced on Monday with jury selection. 10 potential jurors underwent questioning after numerous others were excused for impartiality concerns, as reported by The Washington Post. 

The initial part of the court proceedings focused on various matters, including discussions regarding the evidence that jurors will be presented. Selecting 12 jurors and several alternates may take a week or longer.
