Some legal experts and pundits have questioned whether Stormy Daniels' testimony and cross-examination damaged her credibility, and wondered whether Trump's team could use it.

Stormy Daniels' testimony Tuesday in the New York v. Trump case came under fire from legal experts, with some arguing her editorializing and loathing of the former president damaged her credibility.

legal analyst Danny Cevallos said Daniels' testimony turned the trial of former President Trump 'into a quasi-sex assault case,' giving his legal team an opening for appeal. 'You always ask the question, can you get this information from a less risky witness?' he said. 'Stormy Daniels is one of those witnesses that tends to not just answer the question asked, but add her own editorial. And that is a really dangerous thing, I promise you.
