Everything fell apart before Alvin Bragg’s eyes.
His top witness against Donald Trump abandoned him and went rogue.
And now the trial is taking a decisive turn that Alvin Bragg never expected.
The proceedings in the criminal trial against Donald Trump are exposing how paper-thin of a case Alvin Bragg really has.
One of his top witnesses was supposed to be a man named Keith Davidson, a former attorney for adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Davidson was forecast to give scathing testimony against Trump that would have exposed all the allegedly nefarious acts Trump engaged in in hopes of silencing Daniels.
But what actually came out of the testimony from Davidson was far different, and did not help the case of Alvin Bragg at all.
Now Bragg is scrambling to piece his case back together.
According to Fox News, “Back on the stand Thursday was the Beverly Hills attorney who negotiated payments for two women who demanded exorbitant cash from Trump in exchange for their silence about purported affairs. But the witness, Keith Davidson, admitted he had no contact whatsoever with the defendant and never met him. He dealt exclusively with Trump’s ex-lawyer, Cohen, who appeared to be acting entirely on his own. Nothing in his testimony involved crimes allegedly committed by Trump.”
“Davidson’s description of Cohen was both accurate and scathing —profane, offensive, unceasingly angry, and often threatening. Importantly, he depicted Cohen as a liar who turned bitter toward Trump when the newly elected president refused to take him to Washington, D.C. Jurors learned that Cohen had delusions of grandeur, envisioning himself as White House chief of staff or even attorney general of the United States.”
Cohen, of course, is also one of the key witnesses against Trump, and the fact Davidson had far more to say about Cohen is bad news for the prosecution.
“If Bragg thought that Davidson would be a stellar witness for the prosecution, it may have backfired. He refused to call the Stormy Daniels payment ‘hush money or a payoff’ while insisting that its proper definition is ‘consideration.’ That is a fancy legal term in contract law that simply means an exchange of benefits. Here, it was compensation in return for a non-disclosure agreement. Booking it as a legal expense would, therefore, be manifestly proper,” the article continues.
Davidson may not have flipped for Trump, but he clearly wasn’t helpful to Bragg.
And now his criminal case is crumbling as yet another witness refused to throw Trump under the bus.
