Jurors were suppressing laughter as Stormy Daniels slammed Trump at trial: George Conway

George Conway tried all he could to suppress his case of the giggles while seated in court for Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial.

For much of the first part Thursday hearing where former President Donald Trump stands accused of falsifying business records, his defense attorney Susan Necheles grilled porn star Stormy Daniels about her rendition of an alleged sexual rendezvous from 2006.

And it made Conway, a co-founder of the Lincoln Project and outspoken Trump critic, admit he was holding back his laugher by the courtroom theatrics.

"It was just garbage and it was embarrassing," said Conway while appearing on CNN. "And to the point where, you know, if you control keeping your cross simple and short, you can control the witness — but the longer you go, the more the witness can pop off at you."

"And this woman is way smarter than knockout Necheles' client; and she got some really good ones in to the point where I thought I saw jurors at some point trying to do what I was trying to do, which was suppressing laughter at some of the shots that Stormy got into got into the record. It was just it was just a complete waste of time."

“You have made all of this up, right?” she asked.

“No,” Daniels replied

The rapid fire turned into more drawn out questioning about her line of work.

Necheles attempted to suggest her adult film industry bonafides shouldn't have caused her to be intimidated by Trump’s alleged sexual advances.

“You’ve acted and had sex in over 200 porn movies, right?” Necheles asked Daniels. “And there are naked men and women having sex, including yourself, in those movies, right?”

Then she continued, “But according to you, seeing a man sitting on a bed in a T-shirt and boxers was so upsetting that you got lightheaded.”

Critically, when Necheles asked Daniels about why she accepted $130,000 to remain mum instead of holding a press conference and telling the world about the supposed sexual encounter with Trump inside of a Lake Tahoe hotel suite in 2006, Daniels explained, “Because we were running out of time."

Necheles tried to pin the hurry to being about profiting from the alleged incident.

But Daniels corrected her, saying, “To get the story out."

The suggestion was that these negotiations were happening in the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign which led to Trump victory.
