Donald Trump's lawyer said Playboy model Karen McDougal is no longer expected to testify, shortly after two days of testimony from porn star Stormy Daniels.

Trump lawyer Todd Blanche said in court that “we have been informed the People no longer intend to call Karen McDougal as a witness,” according to reports from the trial. It is not immediately clear why prosecutors with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office decided not to bring McDougal to the witness stand.

Daniels’s testimony mostly dealt with salacious claims of a sexual encounter she said she had with Trump at a Lake Tahoe resort in 2006, an incident the former president has denied.Last week, McDougal posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, an image of herself sitting in her bathtub with the bookby Ronan Farrow situated between a wine glass and a lit candle.

Judge Juan Merchan will have to decide whether to grant a mistrial or to allow Trump to respond, given his gag order prevents him from talking about witnesses. Merchan previously declined Trump’s first mistrial request on Tuesday.
