Jordan Rubin is the Deadline: Legal Blog writer. He was a prosecutor for the New York County District Attorney’s Office in Manhattan and is the author of “Bizarro,' a book about the secret war on synthetic drugs. Before he joined MSNBC, he was a legal reporter for Bloomberg Law.

Stormy Daniels is set to testify Tuesday in Donald Trump’s New York criminal case, NBC News reports. The case’s unofficial “hush money” moniker stems from the alleged payoff to quiet the adult film star ahead of Trump’s successful 2016 presidential election. Manhattan jurors will now be able to see and hear from her themselves. Like Michael Cohen, Daniels has been mentioned during the trial but had yet to be called to the witness stand.

Her testimony also comes the day after Judge Juan Merchan held Trump in criminal contempt again for violating a gag order a tenth time. Merchan threatened Trump with jail on Monday for future violations. Among other things, Daniels’ appearance and her potentially salacious testimony could test the presumptive GOP nominee’s ability to abide by the court order, which bars him from speaking out against witnesses and others involved in the first-ever criminal trial against a former U.S. president.
