President Donald Trump has been under fire for his alleged role in a hush money case related to Stormy Daniels, a former porn star who claims to have had an affair with him. However, a pro-Trump witness has testified in the case, revealing new details about Trump’s involvement. This article will explore the testimony given and what it means for the ongoing legal battle.
Pro-Trump Witness Testifies in Hush Money Case
The witness in question is John Gauger, a former IT employee for Liberty University who was paid by Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to rig online polls in favor of Trump during his presidential campaign. Gauger testified in a hearing related to the hush money payments made to Daniels, saying that Cohen had asked him to create a Twitter account that would promote Cohen as a "sex symbol" and to use his skills to manipulate search engine results to push negative stories about Daniels to the top of the results.
Gauger’s testimony also revealed that Cohen had promised him $50,000 for his services, but only paid him $12,000. Gauger said he was disappointed in the low payment and had considered coming forward with his story before the FBI raided Cohen’s office and seized documents related to the hush money case.
Testimony Reveals New Details in Trump’s Involvement
The testimony given by Gauger sheds new light on Trump’s alleged involvement in the hush money payments made to Daniels. Gauger’s claim that Cohen asked him to create a Twitter account to promote Cohen as a "sex symbol" suggests that the former lawyer was trying to curry favor with Trump in order to maintain his position as his personal lawyer. Additionally, the fact that Cohen promised Gauger $50,000 for his services raises questions about where the money to pay him was coming from.
Overall, Gauger’s testimony provides more evidence that Trump was aware of the hush money payments made to Daniels and that Cohen was acting on his behalf. As the legal battle continues, it remains to be seen what other revelations will come to light and how they will impact Trump’s presidency.
The hush money case related to Stormy Daniels has been a source of controversy for Trump since it first came to light. The testimony given by John Gauger, a pro-Trump witness, has provided new details about the case and raised further questions about Trump’s involvement in the payments. As the legal battle continues, it is clear that the fallout from this scandal will continue to be a thorn in Trump’s side.
