LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jimmy Kimmel recently made bold predictions regarding Donald Trump's upcoming trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case, slated to commence in mid-April. 

Jimmy Kimmel expects courtroom comedy in Donald Trump's hush money trial

In his monologue, Kimmel noted, "The judge yesterday ruled that both Stormy and Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen will be allowed to testify. Which means there’s a very good chance the court stenographer will have to type the words 'mushroom' and 'penis' during the trial."

The 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' host's focus on terms like "mushroom" and "penis" references Daniels' vivid descriptions of Trump's anatomy in her 2018 book 'Full Disclosure'. He even drew comparisons with the mushroom character from Mario Kart adding an extra layer of comedic flair.



 

The Stormy Daniels case revolves around Trump allegedly paying her money to keep quiet about their 2006 affair just ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Despite Trump's denial of the affair, the legal battle centers on accusations of falsified business records to conceal the supposed payments. 

Poking fun at the situation, Kimmel quipped, "But it'll be fun to see them all together again. This is like the closest he's going to get to an all-star cast reunion."

Kimmel's remarks didn't stop at the impending trial as he took a broader swipe at Trump's choice of associates, likening the courtroom drama to a reunion of "all the worst best people."

The late-night host stated, "You remember Paul Manafort, his former campaign manager? He was convicted of multiple felonies. He's a guy who gave polling data to Russian intelligence and then got pardoned by Trump."

Despite his legal troubles, Manafort received a pardon from Trump and is reportedly being considered to oversee the Republican National Convention.

Kimmel didn't miss the opportunity to jab at the irony of Manafort's alleged health issues miraculously disappearing when it comes to taking on campaign responsibilities.
