Updated: After David Pecker finished his fourth day of testimony, the next prosecution witness in Donald Trump’s hush money trial Friday was Rhona Graff, Trump’s longtime assistant.
Graff was a Trump Organization employee who, while there, kept contacts for both Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal in the company’s computer system. She testified today that she had a “vague recollection” of once seeing Daniels in an office reception area of Trump Tower, and “assumed” it was because Trump was considering her as a contestant on his Celebrity Apprentice reality TV show.
“He thought that she would be an interesting addition,” she testified, citing “office chatter” as the basis for her opinion. Graff said she was aware that Daniels was an adult film performer.
Graff worked for Trump for 34 years, rising from his executive assistant beginning in 1987 to senior vice president until her departure in 2021. She testified under subpoena on Friday,...

A New York judge has allowed Donald Trump to block two Manhattan district attorney’s subpoenas that were looking to search emails sent by his wife Melania Trump and similar documents.
Judge Juan Merchan decided that the subpoenas were too broad, ruling in Donald’s favor. The Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg was seeking to obtain the documents and emails to use as evidence against Donald in his felony case that alleges he falsified his business records.
If allowed, Donald would have had to hand over almost a year’s worth of emails that were sent between White House officials, employees from the Trump Organization, Donald’s travel itineraries, emails between Melania and Rhona Graff, Trump’s former executive assistant, and Graff’s emails to Keith Schiller, the former director of Oval Office operations.
Judge Merchan explained his decision stating, “This request would yield significantly more responsive records than necessary.

The Manhattan Da wants access to Melania Trump’s emails regarding the Stormy Daniels case.
Melania has recently been staying quiet about to her husband, Donald Trump, being indicted for the hush money he paid Daniels for their affair. She has kept her distance from Donald, apparently living in a secluded area of Mar-a-Lago and ignoring him except for “socializing duties.”
The former advisor to Melania, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, confirmed on Twitter a report. Wolkoff additionally mentioned that Melania used an encrypted messaging system, which has raised some suspicions.
Wolkoff tweeted, “Melania Trump used several email addresses, texts, and Signal to communicate with me and others while working in the White House and prosecutors want to see them.”
In addition to this, she included a picture of an article highlighting this statement, “The second subpoena concerns emails exchanged among Trump Organization employees and the White House, as well as severance...

As Donald Trump weighs his White House chances for 2024, there’s one race where, at least in his own mind, he’s already running: the “Fox News primary.”
In recent months, according to two people familiar with the matter, the twice-impeached ex-president has routinely obsessed over Fox’s coverage of him versus his potential Republican primary rivals. That obsession kicks up a notch when it comes to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. One source recalled Trump suddenly dropping into conversation a question regarding how much Fox News airtime DeSantis had enjoyed lately.
